MAAP-1 and MAAP-2 Integrated Radio Transceiver Addressable Fire Alarm
This procedure has been prepared to help isolate the causes of Ground Fault conditions on the
MAAP-1 and MAAP-2 Integrated Radio Transceiver and Fire Alarm Control Panel. This
procedure is provided in three parts. Part One provides troubleshooting for the Main Panel.
Part Two deals with the Backplane and Zone Expansion Cards (ZEC). Part Three deals with
the Analog Addressable Controller (AAC) and Analog Driver Cards (ADC). It is important that
the Troubleshooting be performed in order -- Part One first, proceeding to Part Two, and then
proceeding on to Part Three.

Notes and Warnings:

1.
W arning! Do not remove (or replace) the ribbon cable between the main board and the
backplane with ANY power applied. Do not remove (or replace) the Analog Addressable
Controller (AAC) power or RS-422 with ANY power applied.
NOTE: Removing (or replacing) either cable with power on (ac or battery) will
damage the panel. This damage would be outside Monaco's warranty terms.
2.
W arning! Do not remove (or replace) the main ac power fuse, F2, with AC power
applied. Use the AC circuit breaker to power down the panel. Removing or replacing F2
repetitively with ac power applied could damage the fuse holder rendering the panel
inoperative on ac power.
3.
During this procedure, you will receive several troubles and COM fail indications. These
are associated with the wiring and expansion cards that you have been required to
remove. This is a normal condition due to the zone supervision circuitry.
4.
Check the Analog Addressable Controller (AAC) jumper W 3 (above and to the right of
Port 3). There should NOT be a jumper across the pins of W3 on the AAC.
NOTE: Jumper W 3 (ground fault detection enable) on the main power supply board
is factory set to the B position and is located near the antenna connection on the
bottom side of the power supply board.

  • Page 2 If there is less than 500K Ohms from earth ground to the M Panel terminal, remove all field wiring and measure resistance again. If there is less than 500K Ohms contact Product Support at Monaco Enterprises for assistance. MAAP Ground Fault Troubleshooting Guide Rev C.wpd...
  • Page 3 g. If there is less than 500K Ohms from earth ground to the conductor, divide the circuit in half and re-measure until the resistive source is located. NOTE: A Ground Fault condition on zone wiring can be caused by wire insulation being exposed where the conductors are making contact with the conduit.
  • Page 4 If the ground fault occurs remove battery cable and connection to the transceiver on the CPU board, (P3). If the ground fault remains with all wiring disconnected, other than ac power, contact Monaco Enterprises for a return authorization number for the MAAP CPU and P.S.
  • Page 5 Continue until all of the main panel circuits have been re-connected. If no ground fault occurs contact Product Support at Monaco Enterprises for assistance. Part Two: Troubleshooting the Backplane and Zone Expansion Cards (ZEC) Remove ac power, then battery power (F4 fuse) from the panel. Re-connect the ribbon cable to J6 on the main board.
