DESCRIPTION ACTION
Indicates a fault in the alarm zone transmission path
between the control and indicating equipment and
connected devices (eg detectors, manual call points,
modules, etc).
Indicates the unavailability of the baery power, or a voltage
level less than DC 20V. The baery may be depleted because the
mains supply has been unavailable for an extended period of
time, or there is a fault in the baery charger that prevents the
baeries from being charged.
Indicates a fault with the internal supply voltages used to
supply power to the microprocessor, or to the running of
the control program.
Check the wiring for damage or
disconnection.
Check the power supply fuse.
replace the fuse if it is faulty.
Contact the service company to
replace the main controller.
Check that the baery
connections are secure.
Measure the baery voltage. If
the baery voltage is less than
the manufacturer's minimum.
Indicates the unavailability of the mains power.
Eah Fault Indicates a current leakage from any of the re
detection and alarm system wires to Eah. This may
occur if there is damage to a single conductor, and it
contacts some conductive equipment connected to Eah.
Isolate each of the transmission
paths in turn until the wires causing
the Eah have been identied.
Trace the faulty wires to locate the
source of the connection to Eah,
and prevent the connection path.
