TECHNICAL INFORMATION 

LCD Error messages 

 
The ZLM4 has the ability to display error messages. At start up if any of the Power On Self Tests (POST) fail an 
error message will be displayed after the version number. If these are “non-fatal” the ZLM4 will continue through 
start-up and be ready to run. 
After any “fatal” error the LCD will now show a number which will aid in fault finding. 
 

LCD Error Message 

Meaning 

“Fatal” errors 

These will stop the unit 

Er-11 

Memory CRC error 

Er-16 

Slave Energiser cannot see the Master 
Energiser via Keypad Bus 

Er-17 

Isolated processor not responding 

Self test errors 

Use keypad sequence 2# to show 

Er-21 

Check Opto circuit 1 

Er-26 

Siren output is a short circuit 

Er-27 

Strobe output is a short circuit 

 

PROGRAMMING OPTIONS 

Like the Z series of security energisers, the ZLM4 has non-volatile memory in which programming options (or setup 
parameters) can be stored. These are factory pre-set (defaults), but can be field programmed using a keypad.  

Enter Programming mode 

To enter programming mode, enter the 6 digit installer 

PIN

 followed by 

*

0

#

 keys. The keypad will beep twice to 

indicate that the command was accepted. If the 

PIN

 was incorrect the keypad will beep 3 times. The LCD on the 

ZLM4 will now show the first programming option and its current setting. 

Pressing the

 

#

 key will cycle through all the options on the LCD.  

 
Note: Not all numbers are used.
