Check that communications to all units are listed as OK.
Check that all voltages except console are above 11.3 volts and are green. If this is not the case you
have to investigate why, possibly the solar panel is not charging. LPI can help you with this, please
contact us.
Check that all signal strengths are closer to zero than -85.db.
If this is not the case you have to investigate why, it might be that something is blocking the radio
communications, the units may have to be repositioned. If the signal strength is between -85. and -105.
db then communication may be intermittent.
If the voltages or the signal strengths occasionally go red but come back green or orange in a minute
or two, this is nothing to worry about, This happens occasionally it is just a packet dropout.
Checking Siren Functionality
In the situation of lightning events being detected, displayed and logged, but no Alarm or All Clear
sirens being sounded and no Alarms activated when using Alarm Reassert buttons, please check that
the System Time and Alarm Enable/Disable Times (see "Changing the Settings: System Time" and
"Changing the Settings: Alarm Enable Times") are set correctly. If the Current system time is outside
the Alarm Enable Times then the Alarm Relay Outputs will not be activated (and therefore no Siren
Sounded). If problems still occur please contact your LPI Distributor.
Error Messages
If something does go wrong with the LWS and the console can't communicate with the Sensor, then an
appropriate message is displayed, in RED, on the Home Page.
Please don't ignore this but try to find the cause of the problem.
Possible causes of this type of problem is:
a loss of power on the Sensor,
•
a bad radio path to Sensor
•
a loss of a critical range extender
•
a broken or damaged antenna cable near the console.
•
If you can't resolve the problem yourself contact you LPI distributor for assistance.
