Typical Trouble Condition Displays
To silence the beeping sound for fault conditions, press any key.
FAULT Indicates that a problem exists with the zone(s) displayed, accompanied by rapid beeping.
First, determine if the zone(s) displayed are intact and make them so if they are not. If the
zone uses a wireless detector, check that changes in the room (moving furniture, televisions,
etc.) are not blocking wireless signals from the detector. If the problem has been corrected,
the zone descriptor(s) and FAULT should disappear from the display. If not, key an OFF
sequence (security code plus OFF) to clear the display. A fault condition can also indicate a
wiring problem. If the "FAULT" display persists, notify your service company. Note that the
system will not allow arming if a fault condition exists. To arm the system with a fault
condition present, you must first bypass the zone(s) having the fault condition.
FC Indicates that a failure has occurred in the telephone communication portion of your system
or a problem with the phone line existed when dialing was attempted.
CC Indicates that the control is on-line with the central station's remote computer. The control
will not operate while on-line. Wait a few minutes. The display should disappear.
dI If this remains displayed for more than 1 minute, the system is disabled.
CA Indicates a cancelled alarm. See Entry/Exit Delay section
EA Indicates an exit alarm. See Entry/Exit Delay section.

Routine Care
• Treat the components of your security system as you would any other electrical equipment. Do not slam
sensor-protected doors or windows.
• Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective sensors, particularly on motion sensors
and smoke detectors.
• The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth. Do not spray water or any
other fluid on the units.
