5.1 OVERVIEW
Problems with the CyberCat 50 system can generally be classified into two categories: programming
problems and hardware (including hardware) problems. Normally hardware problems are annunciated on the
CyberCat 50 system display. Programming problems are typically identified when the system operates
incorrectly in response to a system event.
The CyberCat 50’s Diagnostics Menus are designed to assist the service technician in isolating and correcting
hardware faults with the system. The Service of the CyberCat 50 system shall be performed solely by factory
certified and qualified technicians that possess a complete understanding of the system hardware and
functions.
5.2 DIAGNOSING
PROBLEMS
Hardware problems with the system can be isolated to the panel or field devices by removing all field wiring
and installing the circuit end-of-line resistor directly on the control board or module. Once you have isolated
the cause of the problem (main board or field device), you can use the diagnostic menu features to further
identify the problem. The CyberCat 50 system controller utilizes surface mount technology (SMT) for easy
installation and maintenance. SMT prohibits component-level field repairs.

REMOVING OR REPLACING PANEL COMPONENTS
If it is determined that a panel component is defective and needs to be replaced:
1. First, use the system programming software to download the current system configuration from the
panel.
2. Disconnect the system batteries then remove AC power.
I
Caution:
Removing or replacing system components when power is applied will damage
the equipment.
3. Disconnect field wiring from component(s). The majority of the CyberCat 50 system components
have removable terminals to facilitate connection of field wiring.
4. Remove and replace the defective system component(s) following the installation instructions
supplied with the component(s).
I
Caution:
The CyberCat 50 components and field devices contain static sensitive
components. Handle the electronics by the edges only and avoid touching the
integrated components. Keep all electronics in the protective anti-static bag it
was shipped in until time for installation. Always ground yourself with a proper
wrist strap before handling the module(s). If the installer is properly grounded at
all times, damage due to static discharge will not occur. If the module requires
repair or return to Fike, it must be shipped in an anti-static bag.
5. Reapply power to the system by reconnecting AC power then connecting system batteries.
6. Verify proper operation of replaced component(s) before connecting field wiring.
7. Reconnect all field wiring.
8. Functionally test the operation of the system to verify proper operation.
