Trouble Shooting
Q – Display - The system display shows [NOT READY] or [NOT
READY - TROUBLE]
A – There is a fault outstanding, press the status button on any
keyfob or press the
message. Any "...Alarm" messages i.e. "Hall Tamper Alarm" can
be ignored however, zone and tamper open messages need to
be addressed i.e. "Hall Tamper OPEN".
Q – Display - How do I clear the [READY - MEMORY] message?
A – Press the status button on the Keyfob or press
to review the memory condition. Start the ARMING process then
disarm the system. The memory prompt should be cleared.
Q - Tamper - I have fitted a sensor with cover closed but the
system is saying the tamper is OPEN, what is wrong?
A - Typically this can happen on PIR sensors when the back plate is
not fitted well or the PCB board is incorrectly positioned. Remove
the PCB and check that the back tamper clicks when you refit it,
then replace the cover again listening for the tamper to click.
Q – Siren - The internal siren will sound on the control panel but
will not sound the external siren
A - This is due to the abort time found in the Installer mode-
'Define Panel'-menu 5. If this is set to above 0 seconds it will
delay the external siren and telephone communications.
Q – Communication - I have entered the private phone numbers
but the panel does not dial when the system is triggered.
A – You need to also enable option 20 in the define Coms menu.
See section 8 for more details.
Q – Panic – I am pressing the keyfob or panel panic buttons but
nothing happens.
A – You need to enable this facility to operate. In installer mode
press
until you see [Define Panel] then press
next until [12: Panic Alarm] then press
to select the type (Silent or Audible) pressing
confirm.
Q – Diagnostics – When I test the devices the diagnostic screen
says certain devices are [NOT OK]
A – Each time you enter the Diagnostic menu the previous
reading are cleared and system needs to see a new signal from
the device. Simply repeat the test but make sure the device is
triggered (tamper or alarm)
