SYSTEM TROUBLE ERROR CODES
Your control panel is capable of detecting a variety of troubles that may affect system performance. In the unlikely event that a problem
should occur, the SYS TBL (system trouble) light will display in the keypad window along with one or more of the following error codes.
If the problem is related to a specific zone or device, the corresponding number will also be indicated. Below is a list of the most
common troubles along with the necessary corrective action, if any. If a message appears that is not listed below, call your security
professional for service. When a system trouble occurs, the keypad can be silenced and the display can be cleared by pressing
C. The system can then be armed and disarmed as usual.
Note: If you cannot clear a system trouble yourself, call installing company for service as soon as possible.
