System or Point Fault Event
Operation of the Control Panel
DET FAILED TEST
This detector has failed the FACP’s periodic detector test for
alarm capabilities.
The detector should be removed and replaced by an authorized
service representative.
DETECTOR FAULT
The detector unit has detected a fault condition.
Check wiring and air flow to the unit. Refer to the detector’s
product guide for additional information.
DEVICE INHIBIT
The FMM-4-20 module is in a self-calibration state.
No action is required.
DUAL ADDR
†
Two or more wireless devices on the same mesh network
that are set to the same address report a duplicate address
fault. An address set to zero will report an illegal address.
Change the address of the device(s) to avoid duplication and
error.
DUAL ADDRESS
There is more than one device of a single type (detector or
module) with the same SLC address. A detector and a
module can share the same address on an SLC, but two
detectors, or two modules, can not. Note that some
addressable devices (e.g. certain power supplies and RFXs)
may not appear to be detectors or modules, but are
addressed on the SLC as such.
Readdress the incorrect device.
DVC COMM LOSS
The DAL device is not in communication with the DVC.
The DVC will generate a DAL NO ANSWER error to the panel or
network annunciator for investigation.
EXTERNAL RAM
ERROR
The internal RAM test failed on the DVC or DAL device.
Call Technical Services.
FAULT1
An FMM-4-20 module threshold fault as determined in point
programming.
Refer to the
AFP-3030
Programming Manual
.
FAULT2
An FMM-4-20 module threshold fault as determined in point
programming.
Refer to the
AFP-3030 Programming Manual
.
FFT FAULT
There is a short or open on the FFT riser.
Check the 4-wire switch is correctly set and that there is an end-
of-line resistor in place for 2-wire operation.
FILTER FAULT
The device’s air filter needs to be replaced.
Refer to the related device’s product guide for air filter
replacement procedures.
FLASH IMAGE FAULT
The DVC or DAL device software is corrupt.
Re-download the panel code software from VeriFire Tools. If the
fault still does not clear, call Technical Services.
GENERAL FAULT
The power supply is not working properly.
Check the battery for problems. Replace battery if necessary.
GROUND FAULT
There is a ground fault on the main, auxiliary, or DAL device
power supply.
Locate and correct the fault.
GROUND FAULT PORT
x
A ground fault has occurred on the Digital Audio Port (DAP)
x. Wire versions only.
Locate and correct the fault.
HIGH FLOW
Air flow to the device is too high.
Inspect the pipes for damage.
INCORRECT
POSITION
The address of the detector does not match that of the
sounder base it is plugged into.
Correct the addressing error. Re-install the device in its original
physical position on the loop.
INIT MODE
The wireless device is in initialisation and mesh formation is
in progress.
This fault will clear once mesh formation is complete and the
device is no longer in initialisation.
INITIALIZATION MODE
A beam detector is running through its initialization
sequence.
The detector will not detect a fire until the initialization process is
complete and this fault has cleared.
INVALID RESPONSE
The device has returned a response to the panel that the
panel did not expect.
Check the device for functionality, addressing and wiring.
IR FAULT
The infrared element is not working properly on a FSC-851
detector. This fault is generated for FlashScan mode only.
Replace the detector.
LOADING...NO
SERVICE
The DVC or DAL device is in bootloader mode. The
DVC/DAL device is NOT providing fire protection
communication while this fault is active.
Proper authorities should be notified while this fault is active so
that other means of protection can be supplied, if necessary.
LOCAL MIC FAULT
The local microphone is in fault. There is no communication,
or paging has been enabled for over 28 seconds and no
signal has been received.
Investigate whether the mic is plugged into the DVC, or whether
there is a problem with the handset.
LOCAL PHONE FAULT The local FFT handset is in fault. There is either a failure with
the local handset, or paging from FFT has been enabled for
over 28 seconds and no signal has been received.
Investigate whether the handset is plugged into the DVC, or
whether there is a problem with the handset.
LOW FLOW
Air flow through the pipe is too low.
Inspect the pipes for damage or clogging.
LOW TEMPERATURE
The temperature read by a Heat+ or Acc detector
is too low.
Raise the heat in the area of the detector.
LOW THRESHOLD
The detector chamber reading is too low; the detector is not
operating properly.
The detector must be removed and replaced by an authorized
service representative.
MAINTENANCE REQ
The detector is dirty and needs cleaning
Clean the detector.
MAINT URGENT
The detector requires cleaning immediately. It is a false
alarm risk.
Clean the detector immediately.
MISMAT HDWE TYPE
The programming information in the panel’s database for this
device does not match the type of device at the address
specified.
Correct programming.
MOD EXT PWR LOSS
The control module or sounder base has lost external power.
Determine whether there is a DC power loss.
NCM COMM LOSS
Communication has been lost between the fire panel or DVC
and the NCM/HS-NCM (Network Communication Module).
Investigate cause and restore communication.
NETWORK FAIL PORT
x
Communication lost between the Noti•Fire•Net port x and
corresponding node.
Investigate cause and restore communication.
NO ANSWER
The device (module or detector) is not responding to the poll.
Either the device is not working or it is not connected
properly.
Determine whether the device is functional, and connected and
addressed properly on the SLC.
