10. SYSTEM TROUBLE INDICATIONS

The DVS-1200 Console is a self-monitoring
supervised wireless system.
If the Console detects a problem with any of the
supervised system sensors or backup battery, it
will display the appropriate trouble indication
and, if monitored, report the trouble to the
Central Station through the communicator
(depending on communicator programming).

CONSOLE LOW BATTERY

The Console constantly charges and monitors
the optional backup battery (if installed).
If the backup battery condition is abnormal, the
Console's POWER light will indicate the trouble.
The POWER indicator normally glows when
AC power is on.
With a charged backup battery installed, if the
Console looses AC power, the POWER indicator
will dim as the Console runs on the backup battery.
If the backup battery is low, recharging, or not
installed, the POWER indicator blinks when
AC power is present.
If the AC power is off and no backup battery is
installed, the POWER indicator will be off (in this
case the system has no power and is disabled).
Normal battery life for the type of backup
battery used in the Console is 3-4 years. If the
battery does not take a charge in 72 hours, it
should be replaced.

SENSOR LOW BATTERIES

When the BATTERIES indicator on the Console
blinks, one or more sensors have a low battery.
Press [ ] key for one second to view sensor
status. Sensor status indicator for any sensor
with a low battery will light along with the
BATTERIES indicator. Any trouble indications
will follow during the five second status cycle.
Replace the sensor's battery as described in
their instructions.
Switch to Test Mode after replacing the sensor
battery and completely test the system (see
Test Mode). Switching to Test Mode clears the
low battery indication.

SENSOR RADIO TROUBLE

When the TROUBLE indicator blinks, one or
more sensors have not reported status during
the eight hour status time window.
Press [ ] key for one second to view sensor
status. Sensor status indicator for any sensor
that has not reported in will light along with the
TROUBLE indicator. Any low battery indications
will follow during the five second status cycle.
Switch to Test Mode after servicing the sensor
and completely test the system (see Test
Mode). Switching to Test Mode clears the
trouble indication.
