Trouble tab message Possible cause Possible solution
The base is bad. Replace the base.
The A/D converter is
defective.
Replace the detector.
checksum error The EEPROM is bad. Replace the detector.
write time out The EEPROM is bad. Replace the detector.
The EEPROM is bad. Replace the detector.
write verify fault The EEPROM is bad. Replace the detector.
• The detector is dirty.
• Outside light is reaching
the detector chamber.
• Clean the detector.
• Eliminate light source.
The detector is dirty. Clean the detector.
The detector is dirty. Clean the detector.
The base is bad. Replace the base.
eshold optical sensor
– dirtied
The detector is dirty. Clean the detector.
Min. quiescent value threshold
optical sensor exceed
– dirtied
The photo sensor reading is
too low.
From the control panel, reset the
panel. If the trouble recurs after
68 minutes, replace the detector.
Filtered optical test too big
• The detector is dirty.
• A light source noise is
affecting the detector.
• Clean the detector.
• Eliminate the light source
noise or move the detector.
Filtered optical test is too small
The photo sensor reading is
too low.
From the control panel, reset the
panel. If the trouble recurs after
2 seconds, replace the detector.
The thermistor is bad,
causing a high heat sensor
reading. (Note: A heat alarm
occurs prior to the trouble.)
Replace the detector.
Filtered thermal too small
The thermistor is bad,
causing a low heat sensor
reading.
Replace the detector.
CO communication trouble
UART
There is no communication
between the SIGA2 detector
and CO sensor.
Open the SIGA2 detector and
make sure the CO module is
properly seated.
The SIGA2 detector CO
module failed supervision.
From the control panel, reset the
panel. If the trouble recurs after
44 seconds replace the detector.
The SIGA2 detector CO
module has reached its end
of life.
Replace the module.
