    What to do if calibration fault on Det-Tronics Open Path Eclipse Security Sensors?
    • A
      Adriana GomezAug 3, 2025
      If the calibration process for your Det-Tronics Security Sensors times out, a fault is set. This fault can only be reset by completing a successful calibration.

    What to do if calibration line active at start-up on Det-Tronics Open Path Eclipse?
    • J
      James DaughertyAug 7, 2025
      If the calibration line is active at start-up for Det-Tronics Security Sensors, the only way to clear this fault is to correct the wiring and reapply power. Ensure the calibration line isn't shorted and the calibration switch is open. If the fault persists, consult the factory.

    Why is my Det-Tronics Security Sensors showing a negative signal output?
    • W
      Warren ShahAug 13, 2025
      If your Det-Tronics Security Sensors device shows a negative signal output, it might be because it was zero calibrated with background gas present. To resolve this, purge the device with clean air and then repeat the zero calibration.

    How to fix low 24 volts on Det-Tronics Open Path Eclipse?
    • B
      Brandon EspinozaAug 18, 2025
      If your Det-Tronics Security Sensors are showing a low 24 volts, it means the 24 VDC operating voltage is out of the correct range. Check the wiring to the detector and ensure the power source is outputting the correct voltage. After correcting the voltage issue, the power supply faults should clear automatically. If the fault persists, you should consult the factory.
