System Faults
5.1
System Tamper Fault (F-1)
This indicates a fault in the wiring which requires attention by the alarm company.
5.2
Mains Failure (F-2)
This indicates a break in the mains supply to the alarm control equipment. A battery
back up supply is provided which should enable the system to continue functioning
normally for a minimum of 8 hours. In the event of the failure being prolonged, the alarm
company should be advised.
5.3
System Voltage Fault (F-3)
This indicates that a fault has occurred in the system power supply or battery charging
circuits, and should be reported to the alarm company.
5.4
Battery Fault (F-4)
This indicates a faulty or disconnected stand-by battery in the system, which should be
reported to the installing company.
5.5
Telecom Line Fault (F-5)
If a remote signalling device is fitted to your system, a fault on the Telecom line whilst
the system is unset, will cause the alarm to respond with a continuous 'chirping' tone.
You may cancel this warning by entering your code, followed by # (or by switching the
keyswitch on and off again). The warning will NOT repeat in the event of an intermittent
fault, unless the system has been set and unset in the meantime.
