TROUBLE STATE
The Trouble State may be caused by a system, circuit or device supervision trouble. It can also be activated
by an input module programmed for Trouble, a PreAlarm input(s), or Walk-Test activation. Upon entering the
Trouble State the control panel does the following:
1. TROUBLE LED flashes.
2. Panel sounder activates steady.
3. LED on device in Trouble will blink (Yellow) to indicate its trouble status. It will light its remote LED as
programmed, if connected.
4. System Trouble relay (P2) activates. This relay is normally energized and will de-energize.
5. Associated system outputs (notification and control) will activate if programmed for specific Zone and
State of activated device.
6. Sends Trouble message to remote displays, history buffer, printers, PC monitoring stations, and
DACT.
7. Displays Trouble event on the LCD display for 100 seconds as follows; then switches to the System
Status Display if all events are restored and no buttons are pressed:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

How to respond to a Trouble Event:
1. Press the ACKNOWLEDGE button to silence the panel sounder only. The panel TROUBLE LED will
change from flashing to steady. The control panel will send an acknowledge message to remote
displays, history buffer, printers, PC monitoring stations, and DACT.
2. Press the F1 button to toggle Rows A and B on display to show the Panel-Loop-Address of active device.
3. Press the F2 button to toggle Rows C and D on display to show the extra 40 characters of the devices
custom message.
4. Press the SILENCE button to silence the panel sounder and any activated outputs that are programmed
as silenceable. The panel TROUBLE LED will change from flashing to steady. The control panel will
send a silence message to remote displays, history buffer, printers, PC monitoring stations, and DACT.
5. Investigate the cause of the Trouble event. Contact Fike for a complete listing of system event messages
and suggested corrective actions.
6. Correct the condition causing the Trouble event; the panel will return to normal if no other events are
present (non-latching events).
7. For latching troubles, press the system RESET button to clear the event and return the panel to the
Normal State.
Note:
The Trouble state is generally non-latching, excluding ‘LOOP CLASS A OPEN’, ‘LOOP SHORT’,
and ‘DRIFT TROUBLE’ troubles which are latching. The latching troubles noted require reset of the panel
to clear the fault once it is corrected.
