5.7  PA Speech, Spare Speech, WIP Speech, Comms 
and Spare Comms Cable Faults 
 
PA  Speech  Cable  Faults,  Spare  Speech  Cable  Faults,  and  WIP  Speech  Cable  Faults  refer  to  the  connections 
between  SPIF  cards  and  Secondary  ECPs  and  equipment  racks  (remote  units).  As  can  be  seen  in  the  Figure 
below, the PA Speech, Speech Backup, and WIP Speech terminals will correspond to the respective Fault on the 
ECP System Fault Display. 
 
NOTE:  Any WIPS Module Failure or WIP Speech cable fault will activate ‘WIP SYSTEM FAULT’ LED on 
the  ECP  System  Fault  Display.  The  LED  will  flash  while  unacknowledged  and  be  steady  for  a 
latched or acknowledged fault.

(shown above) are relating to Comms Cable Faults and Spare Comms Cable Faults, respectively.
