Why is the "AC POWER" light off on my AMERITECH SecurityLink AM100 Security System?
The AC power light may be off because of an interrupted AC power supply. Check the transformer connection and the powerline circuit breaker.
What to do if my AMERITECH Security System keypad beeps periodically?
Periodic beeping from the keypad can occur for several reasons: * The system is in TEST mode. To exit, enter "Code" + OFF. * A transmitter low battery has occurred and is displayed. Enter "Code" + OFF and replace the battery. * A supervision CHECK has occurred. Check the transmitter indicated and restore communication to the receiver to cancel the condition.
How to troubleshoot an AMERITECH Security System intrusion alarm for no apparent reason?
If you are getting intrusion alarms for no apparent reason on your AMERITECH Security System, consider the following: * A protected door or window may have been opened while the system was armed. Check with all occupants. * Improper user operation of exit/entry delays. Check the setting of entry and exit delays. * Magnets located too far from switches, and/or doors and windows not properly aligned. Check all openings for proper switch and magnet orientation.
How to fix AMERITECH Security System when it does not arm properly?
If your AMERITECH Security System does not arm properly, it might be because the ready light is not on. Check for faulted zones and make them intact, or use Bypass arming if desired.
What causes nuisance or phantom alarms in AMERITECH Security System?
Nuisance or phantom alarms in your AMERITECH Security System could be caused by sensors not properly installed, wired, or monitored; check the installation to ensure it follows established procedures. Another cause might be a universal transmitter (5817) programmed incorrectly; check the programming switches on the transmitter.
Why is my AMERITECH SecurityLink AM100 Security System detector alarming for no apparent reason?
If your AMERITECH Security System's detector is alarming for no apparent reason, it could be due to dust or dirt in the sensing chamber. Clean the unit's sensing chamber with a vacuum cleaner, following the unit's instructions. Another cause could be an improper location. Check the unit's instructions for locations to avoid and relocate the detector if necessary. The unit may also be malfunctioning, in which case, replace the detector.
What does it mean when my AMERITECH Security System displays “CHECK” and a zone number?
The “CHECK” message along with a zone number (2–8) on your AMERITECH Security System indicates that the control has sensed a high resistance condition on a loop in one of the hard-wired zones. Check the sensor or the loop wiring in the affected zone. The system will not arm until this condition is corrected or the affected zone is bypassed.
What does it mean when the AMERITECH SecurityLink AM100 Security System transmitter zone number appears during Transmitter Sniffer mode, but does not clear?
If the transmitter zone number appears during Transmitter Sniffer mode on your AMERITECH Security System but does not clear, it could be due to a few reasons: * The transmitter zone type (ZT) is set to 00 (Not Used). Set the ZT to a valid active zone type in field 56. * The transmitter battery is not installed. Install the proper battery. * The 5800 System transmitter is not 'enrolled' in the system. "Enroll" the unit in field 56 or 83.
What causes a low battery message on the keypad of my AMERITECH SecurityLink AM100?
A "Bat" or “System Lo Bat” message (without zone numbers), "Bat" or “Lo Bat” + "00," or "Bat" or “Lo Bat” + "nn" on your AMERITECH Security System keypad indicates that the system battery is low or missing.
Why doesn't my AMERITECH SecurityLink AM100 Security System respond to keystrokes on the keypad?
If your AM100 AMERITECH Security System is not responding to keystrokes on the keypad, here are some possible reasons: * "CC" or "MODEM COMM" is displayed: The system is communicating with a downloader at the central station. Wait until the download session is finished. * "d1" or "Busy-Standby" is displayed: The system has just been powered on and is in its one-minute initialization. To bypass this time, press '#' + '0'. * "E4" or "E8" is displayed: More zones have been programmed than the zone expansion modules can handle. Delete some zones or use a higher capability RF receiver. * Keypad address setting is incorrect: Keypads must be set for address 31 (non-addressable mode).
