Advent Commercial Fire System
Hardwire Sirens/Bells
Exterior sirens are not producing alarm sounds.
1. Check for 12 VDC between panel terminals 6 and 7 during alarm.
2. Check panel main power.
3. Check for correct wiring at the siren and panel terminals.
Exterior sirens produce status sounds.
1. Check for correct wiring at the siren and panel terminals.
2. Check exterior siren output programming.
Interior bells are not producing sounds.
1. Check for 12 VDC between panel terminals 4 and 5 with bell activated.
2. Check panel main power.
3. Check for correct wiring at the siren and panel terminals.
Hardwire Speakers (Voice)
Speakers are not producing sounds.
1. Check for correct wiring (and opens or shorts) at the speaker and panel terminals.
2. Check that required capacitor and end of line (EOL) resistor are installed at the speaker.
3. Make sure that voice volume is correctly programmed.
Speaker volume too high or low.
1. Make sure that the voice volume is correctly programmed.
2. Check for too many speakers or incorrect speaker impedance.
Hardwire Zones
Panel does not respond to hardwire zone input.
1. Check that zones are programmed into panel and add if missing.
2. Make sure that zone is set to a restoral-required type or make sure that system is armed to
active level before tripping sensor.
3. If it is an optional 8 Input Module zone, check that the module bus status LED is blinking to
show communication with panel.
Lights (See also X-10 Modules, Hardwire Outputs, or 4 Relay Output Module)
Light fixture using X-10 Lamp Module does not work.
See X-10 Modules feature in this table.
Panel
Panel does not power up. Panel LED is off and alphanumeric touchpad display is dark.
1. Check the AC circuit breaker to be sure the circuit is live.
2. Check that the backup battery is installed correctly, the battery wires are connected, and the
AC power transformer is plugged in.
3. Check for proper panel and transformer wiring.
4. Measure the incoming AC voltage at the panel terminals. The voltage should be about 24
VAC between panel terminals 1 and 2.
No incoming AC voltage at panel terminals 1 and 2.
1. Check that AC power transformer is not wired into a switched circuit.
2. Disconnect the AC power transformer and disconnect the wires from the transformer and the
panel.
3. Check transformer to panel wire for short or open circuits.
4. Connect the transformer and check for about 24 VAC at the transformer unconnected termi-
nals. If zero (0) volts, reset the built-in transformer circuit breaker (if it has one) or replace
the transformer.
