Open circuit on loop
Wiring break on loop. Identify segment between last communicating device and fault point.
Detector contamination warning
Optical contamination reading elevated. Schedule cleaning or replacement.
PSU / charger fault
Power supply or battery charger fault. Check mains supply, PSU output and charger operation.
Battery condition fault
Battery not meeting required standby performance. Replace batteries.
Output circuit fault
Sounder, relay or output device fault. Check output wiring, device condition and circuit.
Loop card fault
Loop controller card issue. Check card seating, connections and status LEDs.
Network fault
Network communication between panels lost. Check network wiring and card status.
