Gateway Off-Normal Conditions
During operation, the gateway polls the point sensors that are connected to its trunk and stores the
status of the protection loop. When interrogated, the gateway reports any change in status to the
control unit where it is processed to determine whether there is an alarm or trouble condition. Specific
off-normal conditions monitored by the gateway and reported to the control unit are as follows:
PID Gateway
Off-Normal Condition Cause
Cross A short across the EOLR of the protection loop.
Open An open or ground in the protection loop and may include the sensor
tamper.
Comm Fail Failure to receive a response from a point when it is interrogated. PID
may be defective, or there may be a fault with the cable to the gateway
trunk, or PID has not been addressed correctly.
Point Tamper Activation of a tamper on a PID.
Multiple Conditions These are combinations of cross and open, cross and tamper, open and
tamper, and cross, open, and tamper.
PIDs addressed the same The gateway will interpret this as a tamper plus comm fail.
SIM Gateway
Off-Normal Condition Cause
Cross Indicates an alarm condition.
Open Indicates a trouble condition.
Comm Fail Failure to receive a response from a point when it is interrogated. SIM
may be defective, or there may be a fault with the cable to the gateway,
or the gateway has been addressed incorrectly.
Point Tamper Activation of a tamper on a sensor. If the BA group is Nite Set, this is
interpreted as an alarm.
Multiple Conditions These are combinations of cross and open (alarm and trouble), cross and
tamper (alarm and tamper), open, and tamper (trouble and tamper), and
cross, open, and tamper (alarm, trouble and tamper).
Diagnostics The false alarm immunity of the sensors is impaired. Examples: A Dual
motion detector with one of its technologies malfunctioning may increase
in sensitivity to motion. A smoke detector that is dirty may increase in
sensitivity to smoke.
RF Gateway
Off-Normal Condition Cause
Cross FA point: Alarm condition.
BA point: Normal condition.
Open FA point: Trouble condition.
BA point: Alarm condition.
Comm Fail 1. Failure to receive a response from a point when it is interrogated.
RF transmitter may be defective, or there may be a fault with the cable
to the gateway trunk, or the gateway has not been addressed correctly.
2. Low battery condition in an RF transmitter.
Note: To determine which of these conditions the system is
annunciating, check the system's history log.
Point Tamper Activation of a tamper on an RF transmitter.
