Troubleshooting

The following describes what to do if the touchpad does not operate correctly.

• The touchpad doesn’t power up (no display and no beeps when buttons are pressed).

1. Check for correct wiring connections at touchpad and panel terminals.

2. Make sure that the panel battery is connected correctly and that the panel transformer is plugged in.

3. Make sure panel transformer is not plugged into an electrical outlet controlled by a switch. Relocate 

the transformer to an unswitched outlet location, if necessary.

• The touchpad display appears blank, but beeps sound when I press buttons.

Check for correct bus wiring connections (green and white wires) at touchpad and panel terminals.
