TROUBLESHOOTING

If the system does not arm:
Check that the selector switch on
l
the Console is in the RUN 1 or
RUN 2 position.
Check that the battery indicator on
l
the Remote Control turns on when
you press [ARM]. Replace the bat-
tery and re-install the Remote Con-
trol if necessary.
If a zone indicator flashes slowly:
One of the sensors/motion detectors
has not reported in, in the past 4 hours.
Check that the battery in the sensor/
motion detector is good.
If you need to arm the system and
want to ignore a sensor/motion detec-
tor which is not functioning:
Press [ARM] on the Remote Con-
1.
trol. You hear a repetitive trouble
alarm to alert you that there is a
problem.
2. While the trouble alarm is sound-
ing, press [BYPASS] on the Con-
sole. The zone indicator flashes
rapidly.
Then press [ARM] on the Remote
Control. The problem zone is not
protected but all the other zones are
armed.
Note: If you Bypass an open window
and arm the system (as described
above) and then later close the win-
dow, that zone will now arm and its
indicator will stop flashing.
If a zone indicator flashes rapidly:
You pressed the Bypass button to arm
the system while a sensor/motion de-
tector was reporting a problem. Deter-
mine the cause of the problem with the
sensor/motion detector to arm that
zone.
If you hear a repetitive trouble
alarm when you try to arm the sys-
tem, and it does not arm:
Check the zone indicators. If a door or
window is open, its zone indictor is
on. If there is a problem with a Sensor
or Motion Detector, its zone indicator
flashes slowly. Either:
Press [DISARM]. Check that each
l
Door/Window Sensor is working
properly and that you have not left
a door or window open. Then arm
the system. Or:
While the trouble alarm is sound-
l
ing, press [BYPASS] to over-ride
the problem zone (its zone indica-
tor then flashes rapidly). Then arm
the system.
If the alarm trips when you enter
the house before you have time to
disarm it:
Arm the system in the delay mode.
To do this: Set the MIN/MAX switch
on the entry door sensor to MAX. Set
the MIN/MAX switch on the Remote
Control to MAX (HT544 and SH624
only) and then, press [ARM].
