The word "CHECK" on the Keypads display, accompanied by a rapid
"beeping" at the Keypad, indicates that there is a trouble condition in the
system. The audible warning sound can be silenced by pressing any key.
Instruct users to call fm serviceimmediately upon seeingany of the following
messages.
A display of "CHECK' and one or more zone numbers indicatesthat
a problem existswith the displayedzone(s)and requires attention.
Note: The controlwill sense a high resistancein the loops on hard-wired
zones 2-8 and display "CHECK" and the afYected zone number when the
system is in the disamnedmode. It will not be possibleto arm the system
as long as this condition exists (unless this zone is bypassed). If the
system is in the armed mode when the high resistance condition occurs,
this display will not appear, but will do so as soon as the system is
disarmed. Check the sensoror the loop wiring for the displayed zone.
When the problem has been corrected, the display can be cleared by
entering the OFF sequence (codeplus OFF key) twice.
A display of "CHEC~ and 09 indicates that communication between
control and a zone expanderor wirelessreceiveris interrupted. Check the
wiring and DIP switchsettingson the units.
" If there are wireless sensors in the systenL the CHECK conditionmay
also be caused by some change in the environment that prevents the
receiverfrom receiving signalshorn a particular sensor.

keypads) with no zone number indicatesthat the system'smain standby
battery is weak.

replacedwitbin 30 days, a CHECK display may occur.
Note: Some wireless sensorscontain a non-replaceable long-life battery
which requires replacement of the entire unit at the end of battery life
(e.g., Nos. 5802, 5802CP, 5803).
A display of %4" (Fixed-word keypads), or "Telco Fault" (Alpha keypads),
indicates that a monitored telephone line (if programmed in field *2) has
been cut (or disconnected). Depending on how the systemwas programm~
the keypad may also producea trouble sound, and the external sounder may
be activated(silenceby enteringinstaller codeplus OFF).
