Section Seven
Trouble Messages
Many of the AM2020/AFP1010 device, zone, system and annunciator trouble messages are self-explanatory.
Those messages needing further clarification are listed below. If the system is displaying a message that is
not self-explanatory and is not listed here, refer to the AM2020/AFP1010 Trouble-shooting Guide (Document
50432) and/or contact your Notifier distributor. .

CAT. COMM. FAULT

Catastrophic communications failure - the annunciator associated with this message is no longer functioning. The
connection may be broken.
CAT. FAIL. INCOMPATIBLE SOFTWARE
OR INVALID CBE
The panel is operating under an earlier version of software after newer software features have been programmed
into the system. Contact the factory to establish valid software compatibility. Complete reprogramming of system
CBE equations may be required.
CATASTROPHIC LOOP INTERFACE BOARD
"X" COMMUNICATION FLT
Communication has failed between the AM2020/AFP1010 and the LIB Board specified in the "X" field of the
message. This failure may be due to several reasons: the LIB Board has failed electronically; the LIB Board is
programmed but not installed in the system; the LIB Board is installed but is not programmed into the system; or a
poor connection has been made between the CPU and the LIB Board.
COMMUNICATION LINK FAILURE IN PORT A*
Data is not being received on network (MIB) Port A. This trouble is only reported if the node is configured for dual
port monitoring.
COMMUNICATION LINK FAILURE IN PORT B*
Data is not being received on network (MIB) Port B. This trouble is only reported if the node is configured for dual
port monitoring.

DET FAILED TEST

This detector failed its periodic detector test. The periodic detector test verifies the alarm operation of the detector.
This trouble will also be generated when non NOTIFIER devices are detected on the SLC. The detector should be
removed and replaced by an authorized service representative.
DRIFT TOLERANCE
This detector's drift compensation value is outside the allowable range. This detector can no longer be compensated
and should be replaced.
EXPANDER MODULES
The number of annunciator expander modules for this annunciator is less than the number indicated by its DIP switch
settings.
EXT EQP ANN "XX" OR AUDIO/TELEPHON
External equipment connected to the trouble contacts of an annunciator, AMG or FFT-7 has failed.
INSTALL. ERROR
Installation error with an Annunciator Control System module. An annunciator has been physically installed in an
AM2020/AFP1010 system, but has not been programmed; or has been programmed, but not installed.
INVALID REPLY
The AM2020/AFP1010 has received either no response or an invalid response from an addressable LIB SLC
Loop device. Confirm that the LIB SLC Loop is connected properly to the device and that the device address
has been set correctly.
