System or Point Fault Event
Operation of the Control Panel
System Faults
A message from the “Fault Type” column in Table 2.2 will appear in the second line on the left of the panel display when a device fault
occurs. Use this table to help determine the cause of the fault.
SYSTEM FAULTS
FAULT MESSAGE TYPE
FAULT DESCRIPTION
AA FAULT BUS FAIL
The AA Fault Bus has failed. Investigate and fix.
AC FAIL
Loss of AC power. Investigate whether there is an AC power loss, or whether the power supply is correctly
installed and wired.
ADV WALK TEST
There is an Advanced Walk Test in progress.
AMPLIFIER LIMIT
The DAA is overloaded. Remove outputs to lower the load on the speaker circuits. Press reset when done.
AMPLIFIER SUPERVISION
The amplifier’s internal supervision is not working. Call Technical Services.
AMPLIFIER FAULT
The DAA is in fault. The output is overloaded or the amplifier is damaged. Remove outputs to determine if the
DAA was overloaded. If it still does not work, call Technical Services.
ANALOG OUTPUT x FAULT
A fault has occurred on DVC-AO analog output x (1 - 4). The analog output is configured for Style 7, but no
audio signal is returned. Investigate and fix.
ANNUN x NO ANSWER
The annunciator at address x is not responding.
ANNUN x FAULT
The annunciator at address x is in fault.
ANNUN x TYPE MISMATCH
The annunciator at address x does not match the annunciator type programmed at that address. Investigate
and fix.
AUDIO LIBRARY CORRUPTED
The DVC’s audio library is corrupted. Re-create and/or re-download an intact database.
AUDIO LIBRARY INCOMPATIBLE
The audio library version is incompatible with the database and/or the application version.
AUXIN FAULT
Generated when the auxiliary input is supervised (as determined in VeriFire® Tools programming) and no
signal is coming from the input. Check wiring and source.
BACKUP AMP x FAIL
The Backup Amp at address x has failed. Call Technical Services.
BACKUP AMP x HARDWARE FAIL
The Backup Amp at address x has had a hardware failure. Call Technical Services.
BACKUP AMP x LIMIT
The Audio Circuit of the Backup Amplifier at address x has been overloaded or shorted so the Audio Signal has
been attenuated. Check wiring and source and ensure that there are no shorts.
BACKUP AMP x OVERCURRENT
The Backup Amplifier at address x has overloaded and shut down. Check the total Load calculations fir the DS-
AMP and/or DS-BDA and ensure the total values do not exceed 120 watts.
BACKUP AMP x NOT INSTALLED
The Backup Amplifier that is programmed at address x is not communicating with the DS-AMP. Ensure the
ribbon and power cables are properly attached to the DS-AMP and DS-BDA. If there is no Backup Amplifier at
that address, remove the Backup Amplifier from programming.
BACKUP AMP x TRIP
The DS-BDA at DS-BUS address x (1-4) is drawing more current from the power supply than expected and
has been disabled. Refer to the DVC manual for additional troubleshooting.
BASIC WALK TEST
A Basic Walk Test is in progress.
BATTERY
The power supply’s battery voltage is too high or too low. Check the batteries for problems. Replace batteries if
necessary.
BUZZER OFF-LINE
The piezo is disabled.
CHARGER FAIL*
The power supply’s battery charger is not functioning. Investigate and correct.
CLOSED POS. LOOP x
There is an open circuit on the positive side of loop x. Closed wiring is a supervised method of communicating
with addressable devices. If the control panel detects a fault (open only), it will drive both ends of the loop,
maintaining communication in an unsupervised method. The latching fault will display on the panel as a Closed
fault until you correct the condition and press reset.
CLOSED NEG. LOOP x
There is an open circuit on the negative side of loop x. Closed wiring is a supervised method of communicating
with addressable devices. If the control panel detects a fault (open only), it will drive both ends of the loop,
maintaining communication in an unsupervised method. The latching fault will display on the panel as a Closed
fault until you correct the condition and press reset.
CLOSED SHORT LOOP x
Closes wiring is a supervised method of communicating with addressable devices. If the control panel detects
a fault (open or short), it will drive both ends of the loop, maintaining communication in an unsupervised
method. The latching fault will display on the panel as a Closed fault until you correct the condition and press
reset.
CORRUPT LOGIC EQUAT
The database that houses the panel’s logic equations is corrupt. It must be re-downloaded, or all programming
must be cleared and re-entered.
DAA ADDRESS CONFLICT
More than one DAA has the same address. Readdress DAA(s).
DAA DOWNLOAD IN PROGRESS
A DAA download is in progress.
DAA NO ANSWER
A DAA is not responding. Investigate and fix.
DAL DEVICE NO ANSWER
The DAL device is not communicating with the fire panel. Check wiring and source.
DAP PORT x FAILURE
Digital Audio Port x (A or B) 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 DVC database programming file is corrupted. Re-download or re-recreate & download an intact database.
DATABASE INCOMPATIBLE
The DVC database programming file is incompatible with the application version.
DIGIN FAULT
The DAA has determined that its DVC has stopped transmitting audio data to the Digital Audio Loop (DAL),
even though the loop is still functional. Update code, ensure all code on the DAL is compatible. If the DVC still
does not transmit digital audio data, call Technical Services.
DISPLAY COMM LOSS
Communication with the keypad display has been lost. Check cable connection, investigate and fix.
DISPLAY NODE LIMIT
EXCEEDED
The number of display nodes on the network has been exceeded. This fault will only be
displayed if at least one of the AFP-3030s on the network are in Network Display Mode and the
total number of display nodes has exceeded 25. Remove one or more display nodes to correct
this fault. (Display nodes include NCA-2, a Gateway node, or an AFP-3030 in Network Display
Mode.)
DOOR INTERLOCK FAULT
A fault has occurred on the door interlock. Investigate and fix.
