5.1  Trouble Shooting Chart 

 

This section is intended to be a guide in correcting problems which may arise in the field. 
This section is not all-inclusive, and General Monitors should be contacted for assistance if 
the corrective actions listed do not eliminate the problem. If equipment or qualified 
personnel required for various tests are not available it is recommended that the defective 
unit be returned to General Monitors for repair. 
 
A complete written description of the problem should be included. Be sure to inhibit or 
disconnect external alarm wiring before making any checks which might send the unit into 
alarm, if an alarm condition will create problems. 
 
NOTE: If the equipment is under warranty, any repairs performed by persons other than 
General Monitors’ authorized personnel may void the warranty. Please read the warranty 
statement carefully.
