General Fault  

The General fault LED is illuminated whenever there is a fault on the system. It is always lit along with at least one other fault 
indicator which gives more detail relating to the fault.  

 

Power Supply Faults - Supply Fault  

Associated with a low voltage (below 20V) present at the input of the power supply or the removal of the main power supply. 
Measure voltage levels and verify electrical mains fuse.  

 

Battery Fault  

This fault is present when there is a voltage below 20V DC at the battery terminals or if there is a battery charger problem. 
Charger problems can be caused by panel's hardware failure or batteries that have not been connected in the specified 
manner as indicated in this manual, in the installation section. Verify if batteries are properly connected. Measure the voltage 
at the battery terminals and replace if it is below 21V DC. Remember to verify also the main electrical fuse. 
 

DON'T SHORT CIRCUIT BATTERY TERMINALS IN ORDER TO VERIFY BATTERY CHARGE ONLY USE 
BATTERIES THAT ARE LEAD ACID VRLA TYPE 12V DC.  

 

Aux Supply Fault  

This fault will show when the voltage at the auxiliary supply output is below 20V DC. This can be caused by the current limit 
for this output being exceeded. This output is limited to 900mA. Other causes for faults at this point are short circuits in the 
wiring or faulty hardware attached to this supply output. Verify voltage, if below the required acceptable level remove wiring 
connected to this output. If voltage now returns to normal this confirms that connected equipment or cable is damaged.  

 

Earth Fault  

This FAULT will indicate that there is some level of current leakage between any of the wire conductors and the EARTH 
connections. VERIFY WIRING.  

 

System Fault 

This FAULT indicates that there is a fault at the main processor level. In this particular fault, the panel's main board needs to 
be replaced or repaired. 
 
 

Example of application (External switch Sounder Activation) 

 
This implementation has the ability to, by using two external independent switches on the inputs, overlap (the addressable 
order) the Sounder Output or the Fire Alarm Relay state. 
 

 

NOTE:

 Alternatively both “DE” and “EV” could be connected in parallel, so that the Fire Relay and S1 

actuate simultaneously using only one “dry contact switch”
