  • Page 103 Troubleshooting If the VEP-A10-P detector identifies a fault condition, the Fault LED on the front of the detector illuminates and an event containing details of the condition is written to the Xtralis VSC active event list and the detector's event log.
  • Page 104 Xtralis VSC and the date, time, fault number and description of any faults can be viewed. The Xtralis VSC software also displays any current faults in the active event list. The list displays the date and time of the fault, the serial number of the device on which the fault has occurred, the zone number, fault number, and a description of the fault.
  • Page 105 The alarm and fault relay outputs are wired to the fire panel. Test the detector’s Relay outputs connection to the fire panel using the Xtralis VSC Relay Test command. (Turn each relay on/off individually.) See below. Relay 1 Tested (Default assignment = Disable)
  • Page 106 The alarm and fault relay outputs are wired to the fire panel. Test the Remote Display/Relay’s Relay output connections to the fire panel using the Xtralis VSC Relay Test command. (Turn each relay on/off individually.) See below. Relay 1 Tested (Default assignment = Disable)
