5.3 Viewing and Resetting System Faults ___________________________________________
NOTE: A fault condition reduces the security your system is designed to provide. Call your
installation company or service technician to arrange service.
The control panel continuously checks for a number of possible faults. If one of these
faults occur, the keypad beeps twice every 10 seconds. To see a list of system faults, enter
your access code and follow the procedure below.
Basic users will only be able to view the following faults:
• Telephone line • Seismic detector test
• Battery • Fire trouble
• AC power • General System Fault
The system will give Advanced, Supervisor and Master users additional information in the
fault messages.
If (AC) Power Fault is present, the system has lost its power. This trouble may be due to
a power outage and should be cleared once the power is restored. If the power on the
premises is running normally and the trouble condition persists, call your installation
company for service.
If Telephone Line Fault is present, there is a problem with the telephone line. If the
telephones on the premises are running normally and the trouble condition persists, call
your installer for service.
Any other trouble condition will require the assistance of your installation company. As
soon as a trouble condition occurs, call your installation company or service technician to
have the problem corrected.
