Fault records by panel

The manual says that if the display is blank and no LEDs are showing, either the unit is not powered or the mains has failed and the batteries are lower than 21 V. To recover from the low-battery shut-off, power down…

Yellow EARTH FAULT indicator, flashing: the manual says an earth fault has been detected where a path exists from the circuit wiring to earth. Remove circuits one at a time to discover which one, and then rectify.

Yellow FAULT indicator, continuous: the manual says the control panel is in the fault state and other indicators will show the origin. The indication can also be confirmed from the message in the panel information…

Yellow FIRE OUTPUT indicator, flashing: the manual says a fault condition is present on a monitored relay circuit. Continuous means a device or an action associated with the monitored relay circuit has been disabled.

Yellow POWER FAULT indicator, continuous: the manual says a battery fault has been detected, and to check the batteries and the in-line battery fuse.

Yellow POWER FAULT indicator, flashing: the manual says a mains supply fault has been detected, and to check for a 230 V AC supply on the incoming AC terminals.

Yellow SOUNDER indicator, flashing: the manual says a fault condition is present on a monitored sounder circuit. Continuous means a device or an action associated with the monitored sounder circuits has been disabled.

Yellow SYSTEM FAULT indicator, continuous: the manual says it indicates the presence of a processor or a checksum error. To clear it, power the system down, reprogram all settings and test the system. During a system…

Yellow SYSTEM FAULT indicator, flashing: the manual says this LED is also illuminated if the write protect / write enable switch is left on while the system is not in the engineer menu. In access levels 1 and 2 a system…

Yellow ZONE indicator, flashing: the manual says a fault condition is present on one of the zones or on a device connected to that zone. Continuous means a device or an action associated with a zone has been disabled.

The number of devices found during CIE-A-400 loop initialisation does not match the number programmed in the approved OSP configuration.

The CIE-A-400 has detected a short or leakage path between earth or screen and either 0 V or a positive circuit conductor.

The CIE-A-400 has recorded an intermittent or recurrent open-circuit condition on an addressable loop.

The CIE-A-400 has identified an open circuit on the negative core of the indicated loop during initialisation.

The CIE-A-400 has received an abnormally high smoke-sensor signal from the identified Sita detector.

Per the manual, if the system faces a loop -ve open circuit during initialisation, initialisation does not fail at that point but continues to the end of the loop and all devices are operational (as long as no other…

Per the manual, if the system detects a device fault or fire activation during initialisation, initialisation does not fail at that point. Beyond certain limits initialisation will fail and the various fault or fire…

Per the manual, a device mismatch occurs if a device or devices have been physically removed from or added to the system and the changes have not been updated in the OSP and downloaded into the panel; the panel expects…

Per the manual, if the panel detects a short circuit or leakage current to earth/screen from one of its supply rails (0 V or +Ve) an Earth Fault is displayed. The normal voltage between 0 V and Earth SCRN is 1.7 V; the…

Yellow FAULT indicator, continuous: the manual says the control panel is in the fault state and other indicators will show the origin.

Yellow FIRE OUTPUT FAULT indicator, continuous: the manual says a fault condition is present on a monitored fire output circuit or on the addressable device loop outputs.

Per the manual, if the system faces a loop +ve to -ve short circuit or a loop +ve open circuit during initialisation, initialisation fails at that point and a message of Loop not complete is displayed. Devices up to…

Yellow POWER FAULT indicator, continuous: the manual says the mains supply or standby battery supply has failed, and to check the fuses, battery and the 230 V AC supply.

Yellow SOUNDER FAULT indicator, continuous: the manual says a fault condition is present on a monitored sounder circuit or on the addressable device loop sounders.

Yellow SYSTEM FAULT indicator, continuous: the manual says it indicates the presence of a processor or a checksum error. Power the system down to clear, reprogram all settings and test the system.

Per the manual, if the system faces a loop -ve open circuit during initialisation, initialisation continues to the end of the loop and all devices are operational (as long as no other faults exist). A message of…

Per the manual, after initialising the loop, if the number of devices initialised does not match the number programmed, a DEVICE QUANTITY MISMATCH screen appears showing the number found and programmed. A mismatch…

Per the manual, if no obvious causes are apparent, replace the device. It also notes that a short circuit between cores with a value between 3 k and 300 ohms can corrupt data on the loop even though no short circuit…

Per the manual, if the panel detects a short circuit to earth/screen from one of its supply rails (0 V or +ve) an Earth Fault is displayed. Remove the circuit cables one at a time and reset the system: when the faulty…

Yellow EARTH FAULT indicator, flashing: the manual says an earth fault has been detected where a path exists from the circuit wiring to earth; remove circuits one at a time to discover which one, and then rectify. An…
