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…

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…

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

The panel has an event to transmit but the network master panel is not permitting it to transmit. This fault will be reported by duplicate panels.

The loop cannot be driven due to an overload condition.

The configuration data received by the network card is corrupt.

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

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

There is a memory corruption in the network card; replace the card.

See loop-comms diagnostic section of the manual for details.

The network has unexpectedly lost the master panel, so another panel has automatically been assigned as master until the problem is fixed.

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

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.

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.

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