Maintenance/Troubleshooting - Troubleshooting
a - 2 • • • Intelli-FLEX II product guide
•
if your system includes self-test terminators perform electronic self-tests
of each sensor zone
•
if desired, you can also perform a climb test and verify that a climb alarm
is declared
3. Repeat the zone profile procedure and compare the results with the initial
zone profile (twice per year at major seasonal changes). If there is a
significant change between the profiles, recalibrate the sensor zone.
4. Battery test (once per year)
If your Intelli-FLEX processor(s) include battery back-up, disconnect the
power to the processor and allow it to run on battery power, until the battery
runs down and the system shuts down. Record the length of time the
processor runs on the battery power. Replace the battery when the battery
run-time no longer meets your site requirement.
Troubleshooting
This section provides information that will be useful when attempting to locate
and correct problems with the Intelli-FLEX II system. It is organized by problem
symptom as follows:
•
Supervision related problems
•
Detection problems
•
False/Nuisance alarm problems
•
Power problems
•
Configuration module problems
•
Audio module problems
Because these problems can interact, it may be difficult to determine which
problem to deal with first. If the observed symptom(s) cannot be classified into
one or more of the above areas, it is advisable to determine if proper supply
voltages are present first. If proper voltages are present, correct processor
operation should be verified.
On the processor board, to verify that the microcontroller is running properly,
proceed as follows:
•
Remove power by removing the power connector from TB-1 for at least 5
seconds.
•
Re-insert the power connector to TB-1 taking care to insert power connector
in the correct place.
