5.2 Reviewing Trouble Information

A. Trouble Indications
If TRBL flashes in the display, the TROUBLE indicator
illuminates, and 3 beeps are sounded once per minute,
you will have to investigate the system in order to find out
the origin and type of trouble at hand. The states of trouble
can be divided into sensor / transmitter troubles and
system troubles.
SENSOR/TRANSMITTER TROUBLES
• Sensor inactivity - No radio signals have been received
from a particular sensor throughout a pre-defined period.
• Low battery - The battery in a wireless device (sensor
or hand-held transmitter) is near the end of its useful life.
SYSTEM TROUBLES
• AC Supply Failure - The mains power has been cut off
and the system is working on backup battery power (this
trouble is reported 5 minutes after its occurrence).
• System Jammed - A radio-frequency signal is blocking
the channel via which the sensors communicate with the
control panel.
• Communication failure - A message could not be sent
to the central monitoring station or to a private telephone
(or a message was sent but was not acknowledged).
• CPU low battery - The backup battery within the control
panel is weak and must be replaced (see Para. 9.1).
• CPU tamper - The control panel is being tampered with.
• Fuse Trouble - The siren fuse is burnt out.
IMPORTANT! If the trouble beeps bother you, disarm the
system (even though it is already disarmed). This will
cancel the trouble beeps for 4 hours.
B. Investigating Trouble Sources
In a state of trouble, a flashing TRBL message is
displayed as shown in the following examples:
R E A D Y
(alternating)
R E A D Y
or, if the system is not ready for arming -
N O T R E A D Y
(alternating)
N O T R E A D Y
You can review the current troubles one by one, by clicking
the SHOW/OK button.
EXAMPLE: The kitchen sensor - zone No. 9 - has been
inactive and the living room sensor - zone No. 15 - has
reported a low battery. However, these troubles do not
prevent the system from being "ready to arm".

In response to further clicking of <SHOW/OK>, the display
will show details of other troubles (if any), or will revert to
the initial alternating displays (see example above).
5.3 Reviewing Co-Existing Memory and
Trouble Information
If alarms / tamper events are retained in the alarm
memory and at the same time a state of trouble exists, the
display will behave as shown below:
R E A D Y
R E A D Y

or, if the system is not ready to arm -
N O T R E A D Y
N O T R E A D Y M E M O R Y
N O T R E A D Y
To read status information - memory data, open zones and
trouble sources (in this order) - click the <SHOW / OK>
button repeatedly. The memory content will be displayed
first, in the same manner shown in Para. 5.1. If the system
is not ready, open zone information will follow in the same
manner as shown in Para 2.2. Trouble sources will be
displayed last, in the same manner shown in Para. 5.2.

5.4 Correcting Trouble Situations

The trouble indications (illuminated TROUBLE indicator
and flashing TRBL message) are cleared once you
eliminate the cause for trouble. If you do not know how
to cope with a trouble situation, report it to your
installer and seek his advice.
INACTIVITY: Once an inactive sensor renews its periodical
transmissions, the inactivity trouble no longer exists and
will no longer be indicated by the control panel.
LOW BATTERY: Upon replacing the battery in a wireless
device that reported a low battery, the next transmission
made by the relevant sensor will include a "battery
restored" message, and "low battery" will no longer be
indicated by the control panel.
SYSTEM TROUBLE: Correction of any one of the system
troubles is automatically sensed by the control panel, and
the trouble indication is cleared accordingly.
