Additional Notes
6.1 Trouble Conditions
The control panel always watches for possible trouble conditions. If a trouble
condition occurs, the keypad “Trouble” light will turn on and the keypad will
beep. Press [
✱
][2] to display the trouble conditions.
The following trouble conditions apply to the PC5132 and/or any enrolled
devices. For a description of all troubles, please see your system
Installation
Manual.
• General System Tamper
• General System Trouble • Zone Tamper
• General System Supervisory • Device Low Battery
• Zone Fault
Tamper Switches
There are two tamper switches on the PC5132 board. Both removing the plastic
cover and/or removing the PC5132 from its mounting location will cause a
general system tamper.
6.2 Jamming Signal Detection
The PC5132 receiver detects jamming signals that can prevent the receiver from
properly receiving transmissions from enrolled devices. See section 4.4 “Jam-
ming Signal Detection” for information on jamming signal detection program-
ming.
6.3 Wireless Zone Low Battery Transmission
Within any transmission, the device will indicate the status of the battery. If a
battery is low, the system will indicate a Device Low Battery trouble.
The system will delay reporting the event to the central station for the number of
days programmed for
Zone Low Battery Transmission Delay
in section [370].
This will prevent unnecessary reporting of the event if the user has been
instructed on how to replace batteries.
Replacing Batteries in Wireless Devices
1. Remove the cover of the device from its back plate. This creates a tamper
condition on the zone.
2. Refer to the battery installation instructions on the installation sheet of
each component. Be sure to note the proper orientation of the batteries
as you install them.
3. When the fresh batteries are in place, re-attach the cover to the back
plate. The tamper is restored and the zone sends a battery trouble
restoral signal to the PC5132. The battery trouble is now clear and the
device should function normally.
NOTE
: When batteries in one device need to be replaced, the batteries in all
devices may need to be replaced at the same time.
