GX-Series Control Panel Installation and Setup Guide
Engineer 2
Option 61 – Diagnostics
This option allows several diagnostic tests to be run on the system, providing valuable information on the
operational status of the GX-Series and connected modules.
The GX-Series diagnostic option performs a number of checks including:
the communication integrity between the GX-Series panel and modules on the system.
•
voltage measurements.
•
current measurements.
•
resistance measurements
•
module version checks
•
panel memory checks
This option is split into two sections: Latest and Historical.
Latest gives real time diagnostic information for the GX-Series system.
Historical allows a snapshot of the GX-Series system diagnostic status to be generated and saved.
1 Latest
The Diagnostic options are:
1 = MEMORY TEST - This option forces a check of the panel memory.
2 = KEYPAD COMMS - the communication level between the GX-Series panel and the keypads.
3 = RIO COMMS - the voltage and version at each RIO as well as the communication level between the
GX-Series panel and the RIO.
4 = PSU COMMS - the voltage at each GX-Series Power Supply Unit. It is identical to the RIO
COMMS diagnostic with the exception that it also indicates the, PTC
A number to the right of the current indicates a blown PTC
2 = Battery PTC
3 = +12V Auxiliary 1 PTC
4 = +12V Auxiliary 2 PTC
5 = Not Used
6 = On-board Bell PTC
A * indication means low battery or a missing battery.
95% *2 13.6V 1.9A.
◊
NOTE: The PC board uses a PTC device instead of a fuse. The PTC serves as an automatically resetting
fuse.
Pressing the # key gives 7 different displays in the following order:
1. The system status in volts and current draw are displayed.
2. The battery standby time and the battery charge time are displayed. The standby time is the estimated
time that the battery can power the panel if the AC power should fail. It is based on the actual current
draw and the battery size (parameter 51.36). An exclamation mark is displayed after standby time if
the battery cannot support the panel for the time specified in parameter 51.37 = Standby Time.
3. The status of the AC power and battery are displayed. Also, if available, the lowest voltage during the
last battery load test.
4. This displays the battery charging voltage and current information. The panel and GX-Series PSU will
also display the current charging state after Battery. This is either Charging or Charged.
