LED INDICATION Blink Light YELLOW (VXI-DAM only) <VXI-ST> <VXI-AM> Detector condition LED indicator Warm-up Note>> Blinks for approx. 60 seconds. The LED blinks even if the DIP switch 1 (LED) is set to “OFF”. Alarm Lights for 2 seconds. Masking detection (VXI-AM only) Blinks 3 times and then repeats.
SETTING OF SPECIAL DETECTION AREA Using masking seals 2 to 6, you can set a special detection area for the horizontal position A or G. Set to the desired area setting direction When setting other than masking Select a masking seal from 2 to 6 (horizontal position A or G).
