Internet Alarm Communicator Installation Manual
The communicator has 2 on-board LED indicators: a yellow trouble LED and a red network con-
nection status LED. The LED meaning is described in this section.
Yellow Trouble LED
The yellow LED will flash to indicate a trouble on the unit. The number of flashes indicates the
type of trouble. See the table below for the coded flashes and the conditions which will activate the
trouble status LED.
NOTE:
Only the highest priority trouble (2 flashes is the highest priority trouble) is indicated.
When this trouble is restored, the next highest trouble is indicated. This will continue
until all troubles have been cleared (yellow LED is not flashing).
The following paragraphs describe each trouble condition:
Panel Supervision Trouble (2 Flashes)
This trouble will be indicated when communication between the communicator module and the
panel fails. If the module can not communicate with the panel (e.g., loss of power to the panel) the
communicator will send the ‘Panel Absent Trouble Event’ message to the central station receiver.
When communication returns, a ‘Panel Absent Restore Event’ is sent by the communicator to the
central station receiver. The reporting codes are ET0001 for trouble and ER0001 for restore. The
panel absent event always uses the primary receiver account code when communicating to the cen-
tral station.
NOTE:
Panel supervision troubles/restores are internally generated events by the communicator.
Trouble is generated if the communicator misses 6 polls. Trouble is restored on receipt of
first poll from the panel.
Ethernet Trouble (6 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when Ethernet link between the transmitter and the local switch or router
is absent. This trouble will also be indicated if the unit fails to get Dynamic Host Control Protocol
(DHCP) settings from the DHCP server. (Not active if Ethernet receivers are not programmed).
Receiver Not Available (7 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated if the unit is not able to successfully initialize with any of the pro-
grammed receivers. Unprogrammed receivers are excluded.
Receiver Supervision Trouble (8 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when receiver supervision is enabled and communication between the
communicator module and the receiver fails. Trouble is indicated if Ethernet 1 is supervised and
does not receive a heartbeat from the receiver.
FTC Trouble (9 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when the unit fails to communicate module events to the central station.
Trouble is displayed after the unit has exhausted all communications attempts to all programmed
receivers for events generated by the communicator.
Module Configuration Trouble (12 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when the system account code or the receiver account have not been pro-
grammed. Disabled receivers are excluded.
