Page 8: Alarm Connections
The PRO-MUX-2 continuously monitors its own battery voltage supply. Should that supply drop below a pre-set level, the Low Voltage alarm will be triggered, indicating that there is an issue with the battery supply to the PRO-MUX-2, potentially giving forewarning of a total battery supply fail- ure. - Page 9 Intelligent Type Approved NMEA Multiplexer - PRO-MUX-2 Monitoring Alarm Connections • The triggering of these alarms may be monitored in several ways, depending upon the user’s re- quirements. • NMEA 0183 Alarm (ALR) sentences will typically be sent to a Multi Function Display (MFD) capa- ble of displaying the contents of the ALR sentence, allowing the user to interpret the source and act accordingly.

Page 15: Troubleshooting Guide
First level PRO-MUX-2 diagnostics / fault finding can be performed by observing the LED behaviour. The normal behaviour of the PRO-MUX-2 LEDs is described on the next page. If the LEDs are not behaving as expected, this will indicate a fault in either the device connected to the PRO-MUX-2, the wiring/connections, or the PRO-MUX-2 itself. -
