This indicates that the zone programming is incorrect. Program the zones as a multiple zone input for DS7432 or DS7460, a single zone input for contacts and sensors, or program as a DS7465.
What to do if my Detection Systems Keypad displays 'Ready to arm, partition 1' and 'System Fault'?
This issue occurs when the keypad is set as a Master keypad in a single-partition system, or due to wiring errors, incorrect partition assignments, or microprocessor malfunction. Program the keypad as a standard keypad, as master keypads are for multi-partition setups only. Check the keypad wiring and assign the keypad to the correct partition. If issues persist, disconnect the battery and any auxiliary power load to check the microprocessor. If the auxiliary power reads approximately 11.5 VDC, the microprocessor may have shut down. Inspect the EEPROM chip for bent pins if it has been replaced; otherwise, the panel might need replacement.
Why don't some functions work on my Detection Systems Master Keypad?
Certain functions require you to enter Single Partition Mode when using a Master keypad. The following commands need Single Partition Mode: history read-back, chime mode, checking zone status, checking zone trouble status (after #87, the Master keypad will only show the partition name), and bypassing zones.
How to fix 'Entry Error: Please Re-enter' on Detection Systems Keypad?
This error occurs if two or more keypads share the same address, or if the DS7430 or DS7433 is installed in the wrong pins. To fix it, ensure the keypad jumper is properly installed in the back of each keypad and verify that the DS7430 or DS7433 is correctly installed.
Why doesn't Chime Mode (#7) work on my Detection Systems Keypad when a zone is faulted?
Chime mode may not activate for interior zones, or the keypad isn't assigned to the same partition as the zone being activated. Chime mode only activates for perimeter zones and must be programmed. Also, if a perimeter zone has trouble enabled (trouble on open), the chime won’t work if that zone is opening. The chime will only activate the sounder on keypads that are assigned to the same partition as the zone.
What to do if my Detection Systems Keypad alpha display is locked up?
If the keypad is enabled, but set as an LED keypad, the alpha display can lock up, even if the keys still function. Enter the program mode at the keypad and input the correct sequence to re-enable it as an alpha keypad. Be careful, as there will be no visual feedback to verify programming until the keypad is properly enabled.
Why do Zones 9 and above show 'Not Ready, Zone Trouble' on my Detection Systems Keypad?
This issue can occur due to several reasons related to the multiplex expansion module or zone programming. Possible causes include: 1. The multiplex expansion module not being installed properly. 2. Missing or improperly installed multiplex wiring. 3. Incorrectly set DIP switches on the 8-Input remote module. 4. Removed covers on the 8-Input remote module. 5. Incorrectly set or unprogrammed BusLoc® code. 6. Incorrect zone programming. 7. Unprogrammed multiplex module. 8. Multiplex Bus voltage being too high (12VDC or greater). 9. Multiplex Bus voltage being too low (5VDC or less). To resolve, check the module installation, wiring, DIP switch settings, module covers, BusLoc® code, zone programming, and bus voltage. Ensure modules are programmed correctly and that there are no dup...
Why does my Detection Systems Keypad display 'Fire Alarm' but no zone numbers?
In Commercial Fire Mode, fire alarms must be silenced before the zone number will display. Enter a valid disarm [PIN] and press [#], then enter a valid disarm [PIN] and press [#] again to display the zones.
Why is the communicator test report not being sent from my Detection Systems system?
The report may not be programmed properly, or there was a control problem when the report should have been sent. If there was a control problem, the system will send the “System Off Normal” report instead. Check programming addresses 1521, 1522, 1525, and 0329. If necessary, program the “System Off Normal” report in address 0336.
Why are reports for partitions 2-8 being sent with partition 1’s reporting ID on my Detection Systems system?
This issue occurs because the account codes for partitions 2-8 are either not programmed or not programmed correctly. Check addresses 0496-0526 to ensure correct programming of the account codes.
