4.0 TROUBLESHOOTING 

 
 

WARNING: THE PS-12/24-8 POWER

PATH

 CONTAINS VOLTAGES THAT CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS 

INJURY. ALWAYS OBSERVE PROPER ELECTRICAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS. 

 
 
Always follow good troubleshooting procedures:  

 

 

When trouble occurs, observe all visual indications and note them.  

 

If the problem is obvious or it can be located on the Troubleshooting Table, note it.  

 

Always de-energize the 

POWER

PATH completely (Remove both AC and DC power) before making changes to switch 

settings or repairs. 

 
 

NOTE:  

Changes in switch settings will not take affect until all power is removed and then restored to the 

POWER

PATH. 

 
 

 

While the 

POWER

PATH is de-energized, perform a visual and hands on check of all terminals and wires to ensure proper 

termination. 

 

 

Table 4: Troubleshooting

 

Trouble Cause 

Action 

INP1, INP2 LED’s do not light in 
ALARM 

No input signal on terminals 
IN1+IN1-, IN2+IN2- 

Check input and input wiring. 

INP1, INP2 LED’s Flashing 

Trouble on input 

Check input supervision Voltage. 
Check input EOLR. 

OUT1,OUT2,OUT3,OUT4 LED’s 
do not light in ALARM 

No output 

Check INPUT SELECT DIP Switch on 
corresponding OUTPUT DIP Switch. 

FAULT LED Flashing 

INP1 INP2 trouble 
OUT1,OUT2,OUT3,OUT4 
Trouble 
C “FAULT” NC terminals 
OPEN 

Check inputs. (If LED’s INP1 or INP2 
flashing.) 
Check outputs (if LED’s OUT1, OUT2, 
OUT3, OUT4 flashing). 
Check circuit connected to C “FAULT” 
NC terminals.  

AC LED OFF 

No AC power input 

Check AC Power Source. 

DC LED OFF 

No DC output 

Check wiring to the battery. 
Check wiring to AC power source. 

AC FAIL relay energizes 
(indication in remote location) 

No AC power 

Check AC power source. 

No audible output in WHEELOCK 
SYNC MODE 

No input to IN2+,IN2- 

See Example 13 and 14 for proper 
input connections. 

Horn, horn strobes, or strobes do 
not synchronize 

Improper MODE selection 
Improper appliances 

Check MODE selection. 
Check appliances to ensure proper type 
for synchronization.  For IN>OUT 
MODE check input appliance (DSM, 
SM or PS-12/24-8). 

CLASS “A” circuit is not 
functioning properly 

Improper MODE selection or 
SW1/SW2 setting 

Check to be certain MODE selection is 
identical for each CLASS “A” output 
circuit. CLASS “A” OUT1 uses outputs 
1 and 3. Class “A” OUT2 uses outputs 
2 and 4. 
Check SW1 and SW2 on Logic Board 
for “CLOSED” position.  

CLASS “B” circuit is not 
functioning properly 

Improper MODE selection or 
SW1/SW2 setting 
 

Check for proper MODE selection. 
Check SW1 and SW2 on Logic Board 
for “OPEN” position. 

BAT FAIL relay does not change 
state within 5 minutes. 

Power Supply voltage 
improperly set. 

Set Potentiometer on Power Supply 
Board to 28.0VDC for 24VDC 
applications and 14.0VDC for 12VDC 
applications.
