    RCU-2000 Remote Control Unit 9. The VTM-2000 polls the selected RCU-2000 every five seconds. If the VTM-2000 instrument fails to receive the poll after 60 seconds, the RCU-2000 assumes that a communication break has occurred. The LEDs flashing indicates a communication break. When communication is once again established, the LEDs will reflect the current setting.
