Operation of the Control Panel
System or Point Fault Event
NO THRESHOLDS
PROGRAMMED
No threshold parameters have been programmed for the
FMM-4-20 module.
Refer to the
AFP-3030
Programming Manual.
NORMAL
Indicates activated monitor module set to monitor fault
condition.
Correct fault condition.
NUMBER OF CO-
EXISTANT WIRELESS
SYSTEMS
EXCEEDED
The maximum number of wireless systems within the
allowable range has been exceeded.
No more than four (4) wireless systems can operate within a
specified range. Remove additional system or combine systems to
eliminate device overlap.
NVRAM BATT FAULT
The Battery backup and or clock backup is low.
Replace the battery.
OPEN CIRCUIT
The module device has an open circuit on its supervised
wiring.
Check the connections from the module to the input or output
device to which it is wired.
OPEN ON x
There is an open on speaker circuit x
Locate and fix the open.
OVER RANGE
The FMM-4-20’s 4-20 mA sensor has exceeded 20 mA.
Determine if the sensor is functional and correctly installed.
POWER FAULT
The GPI (General Purpose Input) on the detector has
detected a closure of the contact it is monitoring.
Inspect the local Vesda power supply and correct the condition.
POWER SUPPLY
FAULT
There is a communication failure with the fire panel or DAL
device power supply.
If the power supply is onboard, service is required. If the power
supply is standalone, investigate the cause at the power supply.
PRIMARY x
SUPERVISION FAULT
Internal supervision is not working on the primary amplifier at
address x (one through four).
Call Technical Services.
RADIO JAMMING
Jamming occurs when a wireless device is overloaded with
an interfering RF signal and is unable to process incoming
messages, but is able to report the condition to it parents.
A jammed device will automatically remove itself from the mesh
network after reporting the jamming. The device will attempt to
self-heal and recover into the network. Identify any possible
sources of the jamming signal and see if the spacing can be
increased to an acceptable range. A site survey RF scan test can
be used to categorise the jamming signal.
REMOTE
MICROPHONE FAULT
The remote microphone is in fault. It is installed and
supervised, but no signal is coming from it.
Investigate and fix.
RFX COMM LOSS
Communication has been lost with an RFX device
Check the RFX to determine the problem.
SCANNER FAULT
The scanner unit has detected a problem.
Inspect the unit’s valve for possible jam and correct the condition.
SECURITY TAMPER
An RFX device has been removed from its base.
Check the RFX device for tampering.
SELF TEST FAILED
Diagnostic test failed.
Call Technical Services.
SERVICE MODE
The FAAST is in Service Mode.
n/a
SHORT CIRCUIT
The module device has a short circuit on its supervised
wiring.
Check the connections from the module to the input or output
device to which it is wired.
SHORT ON x
There is a short on DAA speaker circuit x.
Locate and fix the short.
SOFTWARE
MISMATCH
The software installed on a device is incompatible with the
fire alarm control panel, or devices installed on the system
are programmed with software that is incompatible with each
other.
LCM software may need to be updated.
SOUNDER NO
ANSWER
The sounder base is no longer communicating with the loop
card.
Investigate and fix.
THERM. FAULT
The thermistors are not functioning properly on a FSC-851
detector. This fault is generated for FlashScan mode only.
Replace the detector.
TIME BASE FAULT
The time needs to be set on the FAAST detector.
Use PipeIQ to download the FAAST configuration.
UNDER RANGE
The FMM-4-20’s 4-20 mA sensor has dropped below 4 mA.
Determine if the sensor is functional and correctly installed.
VERIFY OVER MAX
This detector or FZM-1 monitor module, which has been
programmed to participate in alarm verification, has gone
into and come out of its programmed verification limit without
going into alarm. Either something is wrong with the detector
or there is a condition nearby (such as someone smoking)
that causes it to go into verification frequently.
Check the detector and the conditions nearby to determine the
problem.
WEAK LINK FAULT
The weak link trouble denotes a connection of insufficient
primary parent link signal strength.
To resolve a weak link fault: Reduce the distance between
devices, place them away from obstructions, or add a repeater.
Tamper the device when moving it to a new location. Restart mesh
formation after a repeater is installed or after a device has been
relocated and the tamper condition is cleared. Terminate mesh
formation once the devices have joined the mesh or allow mesh
formation to timeout. Restructuring will automatically start and the
FWSGAUS will re-evaluate the link connectivity between all
devices and select suitable signal paths.
WIRELESS NO
ANSWER
The wireless device is not responding. Either the device is
not working or it is not connected properly.
Determine whether the device is functional, and connected and
addressed properly on the FWSGAUS. (This trouble will latch until
a reset is performed on the FACP and/or FWSGAUS)
WIRING FAULT
The detector has discovered a fault in the VESDAnet wiring.
Inspect the VESDAnet wiring and correct the condition.
*
This fault may be fire panel or backup battery related. Test and replace backup batteries if necessary.
