Device Faults
The following troubles (with condition code letter) can be reported by or for addressable devices:
• Missing (M): A device listed in the database is not reporting back when polled by the
panel. For a new installation, this is generally indicative of devices that have been mis-
addressed. This error can also occur if there are any wiring faults.
• Illegal (I): A device is reporting in on an address that the database shows as unused. For
a new installation, this is generally indicative of devices that have been mis-addressed.
For illegal sensors, since there is no programming available, if an alarm condition is
detected, the HS-3030 operates all its bell circuits. In a network system, only the local
panel activates its bells. The HS-3200 always ignores illegal modules.
• Wrong Type (U): This occurs if the device is not the type expected for the address. For
example, the database lists an address to have a ion smoke detector, but a photo smoke
detector has reported for the address. This error is also used if the panel cannot determine
the type of the device. If the device goes into alarm, the panel operates normally.
• Trouble (T): Sensors: The device is defective and needs to be replaced.
Modules: The extended circuit from the module has a wiring fault. Note: Control modules
that supervise their output circuits are not operated if the output circuit is shorted.
• Duplicate (D): This means that two devices are using the same address. The HS-3200
does a check every hour for duplicate devices. If either device goes into alarm, the panel
operates normally.
Note: Due to the method used to detect duplicate devices, it is possible
for a single device to appear as duplicate devices. Generally, the device needs to be
replaced.
