What does RF jam detected mean on my DSC PowerSeries PC1616?
If your DSC Control Panel detects RF jamming, it indicates excessive noise detected by the wireless receiver. Check for external 433MHZ signal sources. To disable RF Jam, enable Option [7] in program section [804] subsection [90].
How to fix AC Failure on DSC PowerSeries PC1616 Control Panel?
If you are experiencing an AC failure with your DSC Control Panel, verify that the voltage measured across the AC terminals is between 16-18VAC. If it is not, you may need to replace the transformer.
What to do if my DSC PowerSeries PC1616 Control Panel has a low battery?
If your DSC Control Panel displays a low battery warning, it could be due to the main panel battery voltage being less than 11.1VDC. Note that the trouble condition will not clear until the battery voltage is at least 12.5VDC under load. If the battery is new, allow one hour for it to charge. Verify the voltage measured across the AC terminals is 16-18 VAC, and replace the transformer if needed. Disconnect the battery wire leads and verify the battery charging voltage measured across the battery leads is 13.70 - 13.80 VDC. Connect the battery and remove AC power, then verify the measured voltage across the battery terminals is 12.5VDC minimum.
What causes a PC5204 AC Failure on DSC PowerSeries PC1616 Control Panel and how to resolve it?
A PC5204 AC Failure on your DSC Control Panel indicates that there is no AC power at the PC5204 AC inputs. Verify the voltage measured across the AC terminals is 16-18VAC. Replace the transformer if required.
Why does my DSC PowerSeries PC1616 show PC5204 Low Battery?
If your DSC Control Panel is showing a PC5204 Low Battery warning, it means the PC5204 battery voltage is less than 11.5VDC. Note that this trouble condition will not clear until the battery voltage reaches 12.5VDC minimum, under load. Please refer to the 'Low Battery' troubleshooting steps.
What to do when DSC Control Panel indicates Wireless Device Low Battery?
If your DSC Control Panel indicates a Wireless Device Low Battery, it means that one or more wireless devices has a low battery. Replacing the batteries will cause a tamper. Replacing the cover will restore the tamper, causing the associated reporting codes to be sent to the Central Station.
How do I fix a Bell Circuit issue on my DSC Control Panel?
To fix a bell circuit issue on your DSC Control Panel, if there is an open circuit, disconnect the Bell-/Bell+ wire leads and measure the resistance of the wire leads. An open circuit indicates a break in the wiring or a defective siren/bell. Jumper Bell+, Bell- with a 1K resistor (Brown, Black, Red) and verify the trouble clears.
What to do for a PC5204 AC failure on my DSC PowerSeries PC1616 Control Panel?
If your DSC Control Panel shows a PC5204 AC Failure, it means there's no AC power at the PC5204 AC inputs. Verify the voltage measured across the AC terminals is 16-18VAC. Replace the transformer if required.
What does a zone tamper mean on my DSC PowerSeries PC1616?
A zone tamper on your DSC Control Panel means there's a tamper condition on one or more wireless devices or an open circuit on zones with double end-of-line resistors enabled. Perform a Module Placement Test (Section [904]). Violate and then restore the tamper. If there's no test result, replace the wireless device. If there is an open circuit present on one or more zones with double end-of-line resistors enabled, remove the wire leads from Z and COM terminals, measure the resistance of the wire leads (an open circuit indicates a break in the wiring), and connect a 5.6K resistor (Green, Blue, Red) across the Z and COM terminals to see if the trouble clears.
What causes module supervision issues on my DSC Control Panel?
Module supervision issues on your DSC Control Panel occur when the panel doesn't communicate with modules on the KEYBUS or if a keypad is assigned to the incorrect slot. Modules are immediately enrolled and supervised when detected on the KEYBUS. To resolve this, view the event buffer (via DLS or LCD5500 keypad) to identify the specific module(s) in trouble. To reset module supervision, enter Program Section [902] and press [#] (wait 1 minute for the panel to scan the KEYBUS). Then, enter Program Section [903] to identify modules connected to the KEYBUS.
