4. Check that the sensor is programmed (added/learned) into panel memory. Add the sensor if
necessary.
5. Verify that both RF Transceiver module antennas are installed and that the connections are
tight.
The panel responds intermittently to wireless sensor signals.
1. Rotate the sensor position from 90 to 180 degrees.
2. Mount the sensor in a different location.
3. Verify that both RF Transceiver Module antennas are installed and connections tight.
Wireless Smoke Sensor (see also RF Transceiver Module)
Beeps once every minute.
Sensor batteries are low. Replace all of the smoke sensor batteries.
Zone # Trouble is indicated.
Replace the zone/sensor cover, if it is off. Trip the sensor.
Check for blocked dirty sensor screen and clean if necessary.
Zone # Supervisory Failure is indicated.
The sensor is not communicating with the panel.
Zone # Trouble Low Battery is indicated.
