Alarm System troubleshooting

Problem - I enter my passcode to set the system but the panel gives me an intermittent
sound and the display shows a zone is in fault.
Cause - The tone indicates that a detector is active or a door has been left open. The
display indicates which detector or door is active.
Action - Close doors, wait 10 seconds and try again. If the problem persists contact your
alarm company.
Problem - When I came in and entered my passcode the display shows an alarm code and
gave an intermittent beep.
Cause - The indication on the display shows the alarm zone that was activated when the
system was set.
Action - Check the building for signs of a break in then refer to the section on Resetting
after an Alarm.
Problem - The panel beeps every time I open certain doors or walk in front of movement
detectors.
Cause - The TSD402 has a facility called CHIME, which generates a two-tone sound
from the control panel every time certain zones are activated.
Action - To turn this facility on or off, see the section on Changing Chime Zones.
Problem - The display indicates Au PL TA and the internal sounder activates during the
unset condition.
Cause - This shows that the panel has detected an `Auxiliary' or ` Panel Lid' tamper fault,
i.e. a wiring fault, a cover removed from a detector or control panel, or external
siren.
Action - Enter your passcode to silence the alarm then call your alarm company
immediately.
Problem - When the alarm was activated, the external siren pulsed.
Cause - The TSD402 has a facility to monitor smoke detectors. If one of these is
activated, the external siren will pulse to show that the alarm was caused by a
fire and not a burglar.
Action - Check the smoke detector to ensure that they are clear of smoke. If the problem
persists contact your alarm company.
