connection” message and that the RF icon is not red.
We recommend that you test the touch screen after all
programming is completed and whenever a touch screen
related problem occurs.
To verify communication between the panel and the touch
screen, exit programming mode and then press the System
Status icon on the touch screen. The touch screen should
announce the correct system status.

If you cannot get the touch screen to trip, test a known good
touch screen at the same location. If the replacement touch
screen functions, contact UTC Fire & Security for repair or
replacement of the faulty touch screen.
Mounting
1. With touch screen operation verified and tested at the
permanent location; mount the touchscreen either on the
wall or on a surface with the supplied desktop stand.
Surface, desktop mounting
If the unit is to be wall mounted, skip to step 5.
2. Unplug power supply and feed it though the desk top
stand from front to back so that the power wire and supply
extends from the touch screen and mounting base,
through the desktop stand (Figure 5).

3. Reattach the desktop stand to the mounting base and
touch screen.
4. Plug the power supply back into the wall. Ensure the outlet
is not controlled by a switch.
Wall mounting
If the unit is to be or has been installed on surface utilizing the

6. From the initial power up configuration, disconnect the
power cable Positive and Negative leads from the
mounting base. Disconnect the wire from the power
supply.

and mark the mounting holes and wire drop.
8. At the mounting hole locations, drill 3/16-inch holes into
the wall for plastic anchors.
9. At the wire drop opening, drill a 1/2-inch hole into the wall
for the power cable.
10. Push the two plastic anchors into the drilled holes and
tighten screws within a quarter-inch of the anchors.
11. Feed the power wiring through the backside of the wire
drop in the mounting base (see Figure 3 on page 2).
