System or Point Fault Event
2.3.3 Fault Types
There are a variety of point or system fault types that may appear in the fault message. The tables below give lists of the faults and indi-
cations of their cause.
Point (Device) Faults
A message from the “Fault Type” column in Table 2.1, “Point (Device) Faults,” on page 20 will appear in the upper right corner of the
panel display when a point (device) fault occurs. Use this table to help determine what the fault is.
POINT FAULTS
FAULT TYPE
FAULT DESCRIPTION
ACTION
AC FAILURE
The main or auxiliary power supply has lost AC power.
Determine whether there is an AC power loss or whether the
power supply and wiring is correct.
ADDRESS FAULT
A wireless device's address is set to zero (0)
Find and correct the wireless device's address.
ALIGNMENT MODE
A beam detector is in configuration mode.
No action is necessary, as the fault will clear when the
configuration is complete. However, the detector will not detect a
fire while this fault exists.
AMPLIFIER LIMIT
The DAL device is overloaded,
Remove outputs to lower the load on the speaker circuits. Press
reset when done.
AMPLIFIER
SUPERVISION
The amplifier’s internal supervision on the DAL device is not
working,
Call Technical Services.
ANALOG OUTPUT x
FAULT
A fault has occurred on the DVC-AO analog output x (1-4).
The analog output is configured for Style 7, but no audio
signal is returned.
Investigate and fix.
ASPIRATOR FAULT
There is a problem with the FAAST detector.
Replace the FAAST detector.
AUDIO LIBRARY
CORRUPT
The Audio Library is corrupt.
The database must be re-downloaded, or all programming must
be cleared and re-entered. if the fault does not clear, call Technical
Services.
AUDIO LIBRARY
INCOMPATIBLE
The Audio Library is not compatible with the programming
database.
Download the correct application or version.
AUTOLEARN FAILURE
The Autolearn function has failed to complete.
Refer to the associated detector’s product guide for additional
information.
AUXIN FAULT
This fault will be generated when the auxiliary input on the
DVC is supervised (as determined by VeriFire Tools
programming) and insufficient signal is detected on the input.
Check the DVC wiring and source.
BATTERY HIGH
The power supply’s battery charge is too high.
Check the batteries for problems. Replace batteries if necessary.
BATTERY LOW
The power supply’s battery charge is low, or the RFX
device’s battery charge is low.
Check the batteries for problems. Replace batteries if necessary.
BEAM BLOCKED
Something has come between the detector’s beam and its
reflector.
Investigate and clear the blockage.
BRAND MISMATCH
The brand of this SLC device is incompatible with this FACP
system.
Replace with compatible device.
BUZZER OFF
The DVC’s piezo is disabled.
Re-enable the piezo at switch 5.
CHARGER FAULT
*
The power supply’s battery charger is not working properly.
Correct the fault.
CLASS A FAULT
The wireless device has a single parent connection and is
missing the redundant class A connection.
If a suitable parent is available, the background mesh
restructuring routine should self-heal the network. If the network
does not self-heal after ten minutes, reduce the spacing between
devices or utilize SWIFT Tools for suggested repeater placement
to add stronger parents. Toggle mesh formation to trigger a mesh
restructuring routine to re-evaluate the trouble condition after
taking action.
CO 6 MONTHS
The CO (carbon monoxide) detection element on a detector
has six months left to expiration.
Replace the detector.
CO EXPIRED
The CO (carbon monoxide) detection element on a detector
has expired.
Replace the detector.
CO FAULT
The CO element on a detector is not working properly. This
fault is generated for FlashScan mode only.
Replace the detector.
COMM LOSS
Communication has been lost between the FMM-4-20
module and its 4-20 mA sensor.
Check connections between the FMM-4-20 module and the 4-20
mA sensor.
CONFIGURATION
FAULT
A problem has occurred after the configuration was sent
from the PipeIQ to the FAAST detector.
Re-download the configuration.
DAL DOWNLOADING
The DVC is currently downloading to a DAL device.
n/a
DAL DUAL ADDRESS
CONFLICT
More than one DAL device has the same address.
Re-address DAL device(s).
DAL NO ANSWER
The DAL device is not communicating.
The DAL device address will display at the panel or network
annunciator. Investigate and fix.
DAP PORT x FAILURE
Digital Audio Port x (A or B), wire or fibre, is not
communicating due to a break in the connection, a short, or
faulty hardware.
Locate and fix the break or short. If the problem is not a short or
break, call technical Services.
DATABASE
CORRUPTED
The database that houses the DVC/DAL devices
programming is corrupt.
The database must be re-downloaded or all programming must be
cleared and re-entered. If the fault still does not clear, call
Technical Services.
DATABASE
INCOMPATIBLE
The programming database version is not compatible with
the application version.
The correct application or version must be downloaded.
