Operation of the Control Panel
System or Point Fault Event
DSBUS x AC FAIL
The DSBUS at address x has lost AC power. Check wiring and source.
DSBUS x COMMFAIL
The DSBUS at address x is not communicating with the fire panel. Check wiring and source.
DSBUS x HIGH BATT
The battery voltage for the DSBUS at address x has exceeded 28 V. If the batteries are shared, ensure that
only one power supply is charging the batteries. Remove the batteries and measure the charging voltage from
the supply to ensure it is not exceeding 27.6 V. Call Technical Services.
DSBUS x LOW BATT
The battery voltage for the DSBUS at address x has fallen below 20.4 V. Charge or replace batteries.
DSBUS x SELF TEST FAIL
A device on the DSBUS at address X has failed self test. Reboot the device. If this does not repair it, update
the software of the device. If the self test fail fault continues to be displayed, call Technical Services.
EPROM ERROR
The application and/or boot code is corrupt. Service required.
EXTERNAL RAM ERROR
The external RAM test failed. Service required.
FLASH IMAGE ERROR
The software is corrupt. Re-download the panel code software from VeriFire® Tools. If the fault does not clear,
call Technical Services.
FFT FAULT
There is a short or open on an FFT riser on a Digital Audio Loop. Check that the DVC’s 4-wire switch is set
properly and that there is an end-of-line resistor in place for 2-wire operation.
GROUND FAULT
A ground fault has occurred within the panel.
GROUND FAULT LOOP x
There is a ground fault on loop x.
GROUND FAULT PORT x
A ground fault has occurred on DAP x (A or B).
HARDWARE MISMATCH
The device installed does not match what was previously installed. Install the correct device.
INTERNAL RAM ERROR
The internal RAM test failed. Service required.
INVALID NODE TYPE MAPPED
An invalid node type has been mapped to the AFP-3030 for Network Display Mode. Check
network mapping and correct. Refer to the
AFP-3030 Programming Manual
for valid network
types.
LCD80 SUPERVISORY
Communication has been lost with an LCD-80.
LOADING...NO SERVICE
A program or database download is in progress. The panel is NOT providing fire protection during the
download. Proper authorities should be notified while a download is in progress so that other means of fire
protection can be supplied.
LOCAL MIC FAULT
The DVCs local microphone is in fault. There is no communication, or paging has been enabled for over 28
seconds and no signal has been received. Investigate whether the mic is plugged into the DVC, or whether
there is a problem with the local mic.
LOCAL PHONE FAULT
The DVC’s local FFT handset is in fault. There is no communication, or paging has been enabled for over 28
seconds and no signal has been received. Investigate whether the handset is plugged into the DVC, or
whether there is a problem with the handset.
LOOP x- x COMM FAILURE
Loops x and x are not responding. The LCM and LEM for those loops must be serviced.
MANUAL MODE ENTERED
An annunciator has been placed in manual mode.
MODBUS COMMUNICATIONS FAULT
The VESDA Gateway can not communicate with the HLI, the HLI may be damaged or not powered, or the
VESDA Gateway may be damaged.
NCM COMM LOSS
Communication is lost between the
AFP-3030
or DVC and the network communications module.
NCM CONNECTION LIMIT
EXCEEDED
More than two panels have been connected to a high-speed network communications module.
NCM SNIFFER MODE ACTIVE
The network is in diagnostic mode.
NETWORK FAIL PORT x
Communication lost between NCM Port x and corresponding node.
NETWORK INCOMPATIBILITY
An incompatible product exists on this network.
NETWORK MAPPING LIMIT
EXCEEDED
More than 1 fire panel or more than 4 DVCs has been mapped to the AFP-3030 for Network
Display Mode. Check network mapping and correct.
NFN PAGING CHANNEL LIMIT
EXCEEDED
Multiple paging sources are attempting to page over the NFN, exceeding the limit of one (1). reduce the
number of paging sources to clear this fault.
24HR REMINDER
This message occurs every day at 11 am if any faults exist.
NVRAM BATT FAULT
Battery backup and/or clock backup is low. Replace battery.
NO DEV. INST ON L1
No devices are installed on the system.
NO POWER SUPPLY INST
The address of the main power supply has not been entered.
OPEN SHORT x LOOP x
Service required. Call Technical Services.
PANEL DOOR OPEN
The panel door is open.
PHONE CHANNEL LIMIT EXCEEDED
The DVC has allocated all it’s phone channels to DAAs but there are still phones ringing in
requesting more channels
POWER SUPPLY FAULT
There is a communication failure with the DAA onboard power supply. Call Technical Services.
PRIMARY AMP x FAIL
The Primary Amp at address x has failed. Call Technical Services.
PRIMARY AMP x HARDWARE FAIL
The Primary Amp at address x has had a hardware failure. Call Technical Services.
PRIMARY AMP x LIMIT
The Audio Circuit of the Primary Amplifier at address x has been overloaded or shorted so the Audio Signal
has been attenuated. Check wiring and source and ensure that there are no shorts.
PRIMARY AMP x OVERCURRENT
The Primary Amplifier at address x has overloaded and shut down. Check the total Load calculations fir the
DS-AMP and/or DS-BDA and ensure the total values do not exceed 120 watts.
PRIMARY AMP x TRIP
The DS-BDA at DS-BUS address x (1-4) is drawing more current from the power supply than expected and
has been disabled. Refer to the DVC manual for additional troubleshooting.
PRINTER OFF LINE
Communication loss with printer. Restore power and/or printer’s online status.
PRINTER PAPER OUT
Add paper.
PROGRAM CORRUPTED
The database that houses the panel’s programming is corrupt. It must be re-downloaded, or all programming
must be cleared and re-entered. Service required.
PROG MODE ACTIVATED
A user is currently using the panel’s programming menus.
