Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
You open a door or window and the
alarm does not trip.
If appliances turn off during an alarm.
If you do not hear a beep from the
Console when you press ARM to install a
Remote.
SOLUTION
• Check that the system is armed.
• Check that the console's slide switch
is set to RUN1 or RUN2.
• Check to see if the alarm trips when
you press TEST on the Door/Window
Sensor.
• If the alarm does not trip when you
press TEST, check that the indicator
on the sensor comes on when you
press TEST.
If the indicator does not come on,
replace the battery and reinstall the
sensor if necessary.
The system flashes lights by repetitively
transmitting all lights on/all units off.
Any appliance modules set to the same
House Code as the Console will
therefore turn off.
Check to see if you can arm the system
when the Console is in the RUN mode. If
you can, the Remote is already installed
and no further action is necessary. If not:
• Check that the Console's slide switch
is set to INSTALL.
• Re-initialize the remote (see page 7 &
8).

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 sensor/motion detector. If it
does, then the sensor/motion detector 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.
