Common System Messages

Below is an explanation of the common messages your keypad
might display. Beside each message is a discussion of what re-
sponses are appropriate. If you find the response is ineffective,
call your local C&K service representative.
You can get more than one error message at a time. For ex-
ample, you may note the Zone 3 LED is blinking slowly, the Zone
6 LED is steadily lit, and the Ready LED is unlit. This means that
Zone 3 is bypassed, Zone 6 is faulted, and the system is not ready
to arm.
If you notice:
Power LED is off
Zone LED is on
Zone LED blinks
unevenly
Zone LED blinks
quickly (3 blinks in 2
seconds)
Zone LED repeatedly
blinks quickly or
unevenly
Ready LED is off
Zone LED blinks
slowly (2 blinks, 3
seconds)
That means:
The keypad is not
receiving power, or is
not functioning.
A zone is faulted;
system cannot fully
arm.
A sensor may need
service (trouble zone).
The sensor has been
tampered with, or has
signaled an alarm.
A sensor may need
service.
Any one of your
sensors may be
faulted.
The zone is bypassed.
What to do:
Verify that the rest of the building is
receiving power; then call for service.
Correct the fault (by closing doors and
windows) or bypass the zone.
Bypass the sensor, or arrange for
repair.
Reset the system, as described in
Section 4. If LED continues to blink,
call for service.
Call for service.
Depending upon your arming type,
your system may be able to arm. If
not, correct any faulted zones and
then attempt to arm.
Remember the zone is unprotected.
You can remove the bypass (see
Section 3) or arm/disarm with bypass
in place.
