Diagnostics - Pyronix PCX 46 Engineer Reference Manual

5.16 Diagnostics?

This option enables the engineer to perform full diagnostics on all key wired and wireless components of
the system.
5.16.1 View PSUs?
This option allows diagnostics of the power supply information for the PSU on the control panel as well
as all the additional peripheral devices such as a RIX or ROX that have a PSU on board.
5.16.2 Endstation PSU
End station voltage readings are displayed = Voltage: 13.7V.
5.16.3 RIX PSUs
Choose the RIX address from [0] to [3] to read the PSUs voltage readings.
5.16.4 ROX PSU
Choose the ROX address from [0] to [2] to read the PSUs voltage readings.
5.16.5 Keypad Volts
Choose the Keypad address from [0] to [5] to read the keypad voltage.
5.16.6 Reader Volts
Choose the Reader address from [0] to [5] to read the reader voltage.
5.16.7 View Inputs?
This option shows the status of the inputs wired or wireless such as Open, Close, Tamper, Fault. If the
t key is pressed after the input status, a resistance reading will also be shown.
5.16.8 Endstation Inputs
The status of the inputs will be shown. C = Closed. O = Open. F = Fault, T = Tamper.
5.16.9 Endstation Inputs
The circuit resistance during one of the above 4 statuses will be shown on any of the inputs you
choose.
5.16.10 Wireless / Wired Inputs
The status of the inputs will be shown. C = Closed. O = Open. F = Fault, T = Tamper.
5.16.11 RIX Inputs
Choose the RIX address from [0] to [3] to view the inputs status.
5.16.12 Keypad Inputs
Choose the keypad address from [0] to [5] to view the inputs status.
5.16.13 Reader Inputs
Choose the keypad address from [1] to [5] to view the inputs status.
5.16.14 Calibration
If you would like to calibrate the PSU voltage of the PCX system, place a calibrated volt meter across
the battery connectors or across the auxiliary terminals. 13.7 is the recommended value
5.16.15 Wireless Range & Battery Status?
This option is used to check the wireless range and wireless devices battery status information if a
PCX-RIX32-WE (Wireless expander) is connected to the PCX.
5.16.16 Signal Strength?
This option is used to measure the signal strength for wireless inputs and sirens. The signal strength
is shown on each individual wireless Device as well as on the control panel. On each Device a Green
LED will show good or excellent and Red LED will show weak or no wireless signal.
5.16.17 Inputs
'Please Wait' will be displayed and a countdown will begin. It can last up to 5 minutes before all the
wireless Devices have been interrogated. In the end of this process the wireless status will be show on
the panels display and individual product. From this point each device is tested every 15 seconds. On
the LCD display it is also possible to view each individual device signal strength in %.
3 = Excellent signal – Shows GREEN on the wireless Device / 80 to 100%
2 = Good signal – Shows GREEN on the wireless Device / between 30 to 80%
1 = Weak signal – Shows RED on the wireless Device / between 10 to 30%
0 = Missing – Shows RED on the wireless Device / between 0 to 10%
