How to fix an Amico Security System audible signal that will not silence?
- C
  chapmanadamAug 12, 2025
  If the audible signal of your Amico Security System won't silence, start by disconnecting the ribbon cable from the back of any faulty display modules and replacing those modules. If the issue continues, disconnect and reconnect the DC power cable from the annunciator module; if that doesn't work, replace the System Power Supply unit. Lastly, if the alarm still persists, replace the annunciator module.

  If your Amico Security System has an alarm condition but the LEDs are not illuminating, make sure that the system was properly ordered with the correct factory default settings: Mid Pressure: Hi Pressure 60 Psi Low Pressure 40 Psi Vacuum: Low Vacuum 12 inHg High Pressure: Hi: Nitrogen & Air 195 Psi Low: Nitrogen & Air 140 Psi. If calibration is required, refer to setting HIGH and LOW calibration procedure. If the issue persists, replace the display module.

What to do if there is no power on my Amico Security System alarm?
- A

  To resolve this, first, ensure the ON/OFF switch on the power supply module is turned ON. If the problem persists, check the fuse located on the upper-right corner of the system power supply and replace it if defective. Also, verify that the DC power plug is firmly connected to its socket on the annunciator module. If these steps don't work, replace the ribbon cable. Additionally, check the building's electrical breaker and the voltage at the terminal block above the transformer to ensure proper power supply (115 VAC or 220 VAC). As a last resort, replace the System Power Supply unit.

Why are the LEDs not on, on other modules of my Amico Security System, but the power light on the annunciator module is ON?
- S
  Shelby TuckerAug 23, 2025
  If the power light on the annunciator module is ON, but the LEDs on other modules of your Amico Security System are not, ensure that all modules on the Frame/Module assembly are connected to the ribbon cable. If the problem persists, replace the annunciator module.

Why is the gas reading incorrect on my Amico Security System?
- K
  Krista DiazAug 31, 2025
  To correct an incorrect gas reading on your Amico Security System, first, ensure that the sensor module is properly connected to the DISS demand check-valve. Next, verify that the sensor module is correctly wired to the display module using the wiring diagram. If the problem continues, replace the sensor module. Also, check the ribbon cable connection to the display module, ensuring it is properly seated. If the issue persists, replace the display module.

  To address this, ensure that the DC power cable from the system power supply is snugly connected to the annunciator module. If the issue persists, depress the “TEST” button; if the LEDs illuminate but there is no audible sound, replace the annunciator module. If this does not work, try solutions to problem #2.

What to do if an error code appears on the Amico Alert-2 display module?
- J
  justin46Sep 7, 2025
  If an error code appears on the display module, it indicates that the microprocessor has detected a fault and shut down. To resolve this, turn the power switch to the OFF position and wait at least 5 seconds before turning the power back on. This will reset the program. Also, it could be a faulty wire connection between the sensor and display module. Check error codes at the end of this section.
