Alarms
All alarms are considered major since there are no field replaceable modules in the
unit. All alarms are indicated locally and immediately by the Alarm LED indicator
blinking red. Once the Alarm State has existed for 5 minutes, the Alarm LED will have
a constant red indication. Certain problems will result in the unit automatically shutting
down after 5 minutes of sensed failure. This is done by disabling the RF output stages
in both the uplink and downlink signal paths. Removing DC power from the unit for a
period of 30 seconds or longer will reset the auto shut down.

Keep Alive
The EkoMini Keep Alive feature can only be activated once the modem has been
installed. Once activated by the user in the program mode, this feature requires the
EkoMini, or a remote computer, to have contact at least once daily. If no contact is
completed, the EkoMini will shut down and activate an alarm.
