Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
If you do not hear a beep from the
Console when you press TEST to install
a Door/Window Sensor or Motion
Detector.
If the battery indicator on the Console is
on.
If you lose your remote control.
If the system Arms or Disarms by itself
If the red light on the Handheld Remote
stays on during installation.
SOLUTION
With the Console in the RUN 2 mode,
check that it chimes when you press
TEST on the Door/Window Sensor, or
the appropriate zone indicator blinks
when you press TEST on a Motion
Detector. If it does, then the sensor is
already installed and no further action is
necessary. If not:
• Check that the console's slide switch
is set to INSTALL.
• Change the code on the sensor/motion
detector (see Setting Up Door/Window
Sensors and Setting Up Motion
Detectors.
Replace the console's battery. A 9V
alkaline battery provides approximately
20 hours of backup. Replace battery at
least once a year.
Reinstall your complete system to
prevent someone else from using the lost
remote control.
A neighbor may have a compatible
system. Reinstall the complete system
so that it chooses different RF codes.
Press CODE then press ARM. If it still
stays on, remove the battery, wait a few
seconds, then replace the battery. Press
CODE then press ARM again.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
If the armed indicator is flashing.
If the PowerHorn does not trip when the
alarm trips.
The Motion Detector causes false
alarms.
SOLUTION
This indicates that there has been an
intrusion. Also, if a zone indicator is on,
this indicates which zone was violated. To
turn the zone indicator off, and stop the
armed indicator from flashing press ARM
then DISARM on the remote control. If a
zone indicator is not lit, the violated zone
may have been one of the second eight
zones. Press BYPASS to see which zone
was tripped.
• Be sure you set the dials on the
PowerHorn to the same House Code
and Unit Code as set on the Console.
• Plug the PowerHorn into another
outlet near the Console.
• All brands of motion detectors sense
motion by detecting a change in
temperature, therefore do not place
the detector near any sources of heat
such as over a heating vent or an air
conditioner.
• Do not place in a direct source of
bright light, such as sunlight.
• Do not place near cellular telephones
or microwave ovens.
