Fault codes by panel

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 yellow Fire Protection Fault/Disabled/Test LED indicates a fire protection fault, disablement, or test. A flashing LED indicates a fault; a steady LED indicates a disablement or a test. From the ZP2 Series…

Circuit broken at input 'Protection Panel Fault'.

Short circuit detected at input 'Protection Panel Fault'.

Circuit broken at input 'Protection Alarm Confirmation'.

Short circuit detected at input 'Protection Alarm Confirmation'.

Per the manual, this engineering function momentarily asserts the LED outputs of loop devices in one continual sweep, and is useful for locating open or short circuit faults on the loop wiring. LEDs are asserted step by…

For zones 1 to 4 on the Main PCB, in fault diagnosis mode (press and hold ENTER) the Zone Fault/Disabled/Test LED going off after pressing ENTER, with a slow pulse shown in the table, means a detector has been removed…

Given in the source only as an illustrative example ("Example: 'No nodes detected'") of the network status/error text shown by programming function 8-5-3 "Installation Status", which reports the status of the network.…

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 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.

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 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 manual says a fault has been detected with the auxiliary 24 V supply output of the 6100. There may no longer be an auxiliary supply to external devices, or the auxiliary devices are drawing too much current. The…

The manual says a fault has been detected on the monitored fire link path. This may be a wiring fault or a fire link interface fault. The connection to the fire station link is no longer reliable, and expert advice…

The manual says that when the 6100 detects a fault in any of the critical operating paths it shows it on the front panel display and the internal buzzer pulses slowly. The General Fault indicator is illuminated and is…

The manual says a fault has been detected on a repeat panel connected to the 6100, or the wiring to the repeat panel is faulty. The General Fault indicator is illuminated accompanied by the Repeat Fault indicator.

The manual says a fault has been detected in the power supply of the 6100. This may be because the local mains supply has failed, or because the internal stand-by batteries or circuitry are faulty. The General Fault…

The manual says the 6100 performs regular self tests to ensure the software is working correctly. If a fault is detected in software operation a System Fault is declared. It is a latching fault and can only be cleared…

All zone circuits are monitored for open- and short-circuit faults and detector head removal (unless the zone is in alarm, test or disabled). The relevant Zone Fault light pulses yellow. Access level three fault…

All zone circuits (up to eight) are monitored for open circuit and short circuit faults and detector head removal, unless the zone is in an alarm condition or is in test or disabled. The relevant Zone Fault light pulses…

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.

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…
