Troubleshooting is divided into two parts. Section 5.1 is a diagnostic procedure that can be used to determine
the general condition of the control panel. Section 5.2 is to be used by QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL
ONLY to isolate a specific problem with the panel.
5.1
Control Panel Checkup
This procedure must be used after initial installation of the control panel. The procedure should also be
followed after any repairs are made to the panel. Follow the procedure step by step until the problem is
eliminated or all tests have been completed. Remove both sources of power from this unit whenever working
with the unit's terminals, modules, or plugs.
Jumpers - Ensure that jumpers JP2-JP8 and Diodes D31, D33, D35, and D37 are programmed in accordance
with the guidelines below. Refer to Figure 3L for jumper and diode locations.
* JP2 is cut only when an ammeter is employed.
* JP3 is cut only when a 40xxLI or 40xxZR is being used.
* JP4 is cut only when a 40xxTM or 40xxAT is being used.
* For normally open supervisory service on Zone 4, JP7 & JP8 must be installed and JP5 and JP6 must be
removed. For normal operation on Zone 4, JP5 & JP6 must be installed and JP7 & JP8 removed.
* For coded output, inhibit the alarm latching circuit on an initiating zone by cutting its respective diode: D31-
Zone 1; D33-Zone 2; D35-Zone 3; D37-Zone 4.
Reset - Disconnect the batteries. Remove AC power from the panel. Wait 30 seconds and reconnect AC
power first, followed by the batteries. This resets the panel's built-in fuses.
Isolate - To distinguish between a problem in the field wiring, disconnect all initiating and indicating loops and
reinstall the end-of-line resistors across the appropriate terminals. Jumper terminals 9 and 10 together.
Disconnect any wiring on terminals 15-20. If employing any of the optional modules, disconnect all wiring but
leave the modules in their appropriate connectors (P3 & P4). The only wires leading to the panel should be
the AC power connections. Refer to Figure 3L for ELR values.
If this action clears the problem, the trouble lies in the field wiring. To isolate
the problem, reconnect the wires one at a time until the problem reappears.
Remove one module at a time and reconnect the corresponding jumper (JP3 for 40xxLI or 40xxZR - and JP4
for 40xxTM or 40xxAT).
Leave each module off to continue the testing.

5.0 Troubleshooting Guide

If this action clears the problem condition, the
trouble lies in the module. Replace the module.
