Trouble Conditions
Typical Check Displays
The word
CHECK
on the keypad's display, accompanied by a rapid
beeping at the keypad, indicates a trouble condition in the system.
The displays in parentheses in the left column below may appear on
non-alpha keypads when the associated trouble condition is present.
To silence the beeping sound
for “check” conditions, press any key.
CHECK
+ Zone
Descriptors
Indicates that a problem exists with those
zone(s)*. First, determine why the zone(s)
displayed are faulted (open window or door;
open or shorted zone terminals; etc.) and
correct the problem. If the zone(s) contain a
wireless detector, check that changes in the
room (moving furniture, televisions, etc.) are
not blocking wireless signals to/from the
detector. If the problem has been corrected, the
zone descriptor(s) and
CHECK
should dis-
appear from the keypad display. If not, key an
OFF sequence (enter the 4-digit security code,
then press the OFF key) to clear the display. A
“Check” condition can also indicate a wiring
problem (opens or shorts, for instance). If the
CHECK
display persists,
CALL FOR
SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
Note that the system will not allow arming if a
“Check” condition exists. To arm the system
with a “Check” condition present, you must
first bypass the zone(s) having the “Check”
condition.
NOTE:
Zone 9 represents a problem with
wireless receivers or other system devices,
which are not user-serviceable.
CALL FOR
SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
