Fault codes by panel

The "Alarm Fault" LED on the 6500 panel's indicator strip. This is one of the labelled LED indicators on the 6500 control panel's front fascia, confirmed directly from Protec's own product photography. The brochure…

The "Alarm Routing Fault" LED on the 6500 panel's indicator strip, covering the alarm signalling/routing path (e.g. to an ARC or monitoring centre). This is one of the labelled LED indicators on the 6500 control panel's…

The "Aux Supply Fault" LED on the 6500 panel's indicator strip, covering the panel's auxiliary power supply. This is one of the labelled LED indicators on the 6500 control panel's front fascia, confirmed directly from…

The "Fire Protection Fault" LED on the 6500 panel's indicator strip, covering fire protection outputs (e.g. suppression or protection-related outputs) configured on the system. This is one of the labelled LED indicators…

The "Network Fault" LED on the 6500 panel's indicator strip, covering the panel-to-panel network connection used when multiple 6500 panels are networked together. This is one of the labelled LED indicators on the 6500…

The "Power Fault" LED on the 6500 panel's indicator strip, covering the panel's own power supply. This is one of the labelled LED indicators on the 6500 control panel's front fascia, confirmed directly from Protec's own…

The "System Fault" LED on the 6500 panel's indicator strip. This is one of the labelled LED indicators on the 6500 control panel's front fascia, confirmed directly from Protec's own product photography. The brochure…

The loop has a break in its wiring. The fault threshold is set to 100Ω.

The loop cannot be driven due to an overload condition.

There is a low resistance between loop '+' and loop '-'. The fault threshold is 200Ω (Issue E) or 120Ω (Issue F). This fault can also occur if more than ten loop device repeater LEDs are turned on at the same time.

The loop driver processor has reported a fault. Take the reporting panel offline then back online to attempt to clear it; if it persists, report the fault to Protec technical support.

There is a high resistance in the loop wiring. The fault threshold is 80Ω (Issue E) or 50Ω (Issue F), though the manual adds that "any value greater than 32 is considered high" (no unit given). The loop current…

The loop has a short in its wiring — most likely in the wiring between loop side 'A' and the first device with an isolator, or between loop side 'B' and the last device with an isolator.

There is a break in the network between Panel X and Panel Y, where X and Y are the panel numbers.

A network fault has occurred causing the panel to ignore data from network CH1. Not available on some panel options.

There is a fault in the network card's isolated power supply; replace the card.

A network fault has occurred causing the panel to ignore data from network CH2. Not available on some panel options.

The configuration data received by the network card is corrupt.

Two master panels have been detected on the network — either two panels were assigned as master in their configuration data (correct via the PC commissioning software), or a double break in the network wiring left two…

The network has initialised with two panels sharing the same number; correct this using the PC commissioning software. Neither panel is allowed to transmit an event, so each will eventually also display a Slave CTS…

The network is not operational because there are too many faults.

The communications link between the local network card and the core network card is faulty. Not available on some panel options.

The physical order of the panels does not match the order downloaded to the master panel.

One or more panels in the master panel's network configuration data is missing.

One or more panels has its network CH1 and CH2 wiring reversed.

There is a high resistance in the CH1- cable. Not available on some panel options.

There is a high resistance in the CH1+ cable. Not available on some panel options.

Processor 'B' is the backup processor and is only used when processor 'A' has failed. Not available on some panel options.

There is a short circuit fault in the network between CH1+ and CH1-. Not available on some panel options.

There is a short circuit fault in the network between CH1+ and the screen. Not available on some panel options.
