6.1 Trouble Conditions
The control panel always watches for possible trouble conditions. If a trouble condition
occurs, the keypad “Trouble” light will turn on and the keypad will beep. Press [
✱
][2]
to display the trouble conditions.
The following trouble conditions apply to the receiver portion (identified as the
PC5132 by the panel) and/or any enrolled devices. For a description of all troubles,
please see your system
Installation Manual
. The following trouble conditions apply
to the RF5501-433 and/or any enrolled devices.
General System Tamper -
This trouble is generated when the RF5501-433 plastic cover
is removed and/or if there is a jamming condition present.
General System Supervisory -
This trouble will be indicated if the panel loses
communication with any module connected to the Keybus. The event buffer will log a
detailed description of the event.
Device Low Battery -
This trouble is generated when a wireless device exhibits a low
battery condition. Press [7] one, two, or three times to view which devices are
experiencing battery failure. An LED keypad will indicate battery failure using zone
lights 1 to 8.
Zone Tamper -
This trouble is generated when an enrolled wireless device is removed
from its mounting location.
Zone Fault -
Each wireless zone will send a supervisory signal every 64 minutes. If the
receiver does not receive a signal within the time programmed for the
Wireless
Supervisory Window,
it will generate a zone fault.
Tamper Switches
Removing the RF5501-433 from its mounting location will cause a general system tamper.
Wireless Zone Low Battery Transmission
Within the supervisory transmission, the device will indicate the status of the battery. If
a battery is low, the system will indicate a Device Low Battery trouble. The system will
delay reporting the event to the central station for the number of days programmed for
Zone Low Battery Transmission Delay
in section [370]. This will prevent unnecessary
reporting of the event if the user has been instructed on how to replace batteries.
6.2 Jamming Signal Detection
The RF5501-433 receiver detects jamming signals that can prevent the receiver from
properly receiving transmissions from enrolled devices. See section 4.4 “Jamming
Signal Detection” for information on jamming signal detection programming.
6.3 Replacing Batteries in Wireless Devices
1
Remove the cover of the device from its backplate. This creates a tamper condition
on the zone.
2
Refer to the battery installation instructions on the
Installation Sheet
of each component.
Be sure to
note
the proper orientation of the batteries as you install them.
3
When the fresh batteries are in place, re-attach the cover to the backplate. The tamper
is restored and the zone sends a battery trouble restoral signal to the receiver. The
battery trouble is now clear and the device should function normally.
NOTE
: When batteries in one device need to be replaced, the batteries in all devices
should be replaced at the same time.
