Trouble
Condition
A/C POWER FAILURE
The panel power transformer may be unplugged or there may be an AC power outage. If the
transformer is plugged in, check the circuit breaker or fuse that controls that outlet. The backup
battery will take over, but if AC power is not restored within 15 minutes, the system will alert you
and the central monitoring station (if your system is monitored). It reports again when power is
restored.
LOW BATT
The power in the emergency backup battery is low and must be recharged or replaced. If AC
power is out, the security system may shut down once the battery is below the operating level.
When AC power is restored, the panel will recharge the battery. If the trouble condition exists
more than 24 hours after AC power is restored, call your security dealer for service.
SENSOR
SUPERVISORY
There is a problem with how the sensor is communicating with the panel.
1.
Test the sensor in Test Mode.
2.
If the sensor does not test OK, call ADT for service.
SENSOR TROUBLE
A sensor may have an internal problem or a fire/smoke sensor may not have properly reset after
activation, or the sensing chamber may be dirty or partially obstructed.
SENSOR XX LOW
BATTERY
A sensor has a low battery.
1.
Disarm the system.
2.
Remove the sensor cover. If the battery is an Alkaline AAA, change the battery. If the
battery is any other type, call your security dealer for service.
SENSOR XX TAMPER A sensor cover is off or open. Secure the cover and trip the sensor to clear the tamper condition.
PHONE FAILURE
TROUBLE
The system can’t communicate with the central monitoring station. The system tries to report to
the central station three times before indicating Phone Failure Trouble, then makes five more
reporting attempts.
1.
Make sure the panel is connected to the special phone jack installed by your security
dealer.
2.
Disconnect the panel from the special phone jack and check phones for dial tone. If you
hear a dial tone, call your security dealer for service. If you don’t hear dial from any
phones, telephone service in your area may be out.
Phone Failure Trouble takes precedence over other system problems, so you must clear the
Phone Failure message (by disarming the panel) before you’re able to see other system
messages.
RECEIVER
INTERFERENCE or
RECEIVER FAILURE
There is a receiver failure or receiver interference problem. Call your security dealer for service.
MEMORY FAILURE or
