Troubleshooting
The purpose of this chapter is to offer help to quickly
solve the most frequent problems, and, if necessary,
solve them during installation or use.
Untimely enablement of
self-protection of a device
Make sure that the enclosure of the device is correctly
closed, or that it is not subjected to strong vibrations.
Movement detector
Make sure that no disturbing element is present in the
detection range (animals, ventilation opening, heating, a
strong draught, fireplace/chimney…), otherwise move the
detector.
Opening detector
Check if the distance between detector and the magnetic
part is not excessive.
If the access point is subjected to overly strong vibrations:
replace the opening detector with a movement detector.
Untimely enablement of intrusion
alarm, due to a detector
When the user returns to the protected room, the alarm is
tripped immediately and there is not enough time to access a
keypad to disable the alarm.
The detector/s protecting access to the keypad are not in
the “delayed alarm” position.
At every detection (a person passing in front of a movement
detector or the opening of a protected passage), the
detector sounds several beeps.
• Replace the batteries.
At every detection (a person passing in front of a movement
detector or the opening of a protected passage), the
detector sounds one beep.
The detector’s test push-button was pressed.
The beep will stop automatically at the end of the test.
Other problems concerning a detector
Movement detector
The detector is badly oriented, replace the detector
according to the recommendations in the instructions.
Opening detector
The magnetic part is too far away; move the enclosure or
the magnetic part, in order to reduce the distance between
the two elements.
Detector does not beep during the test
No beep can be heard from a detector, telephone transmitter,
or siren when the test push-button is pressed.
The indicator light of the remote-control does not light up
when the key is pressed.
The control keypad display is completely OFF.
The control keypad does not sound any beep, when a key
is pressed.
• Check the polarity and condition of the batteries.
• Check the connection of the battery block (for the outdoor
siren).
Check if the device is installed according to the
recommendations of the relevant instructions.
One of the devices is totally
inactive
The control unit emits a series of beeps and its indicator
light flashes whenever the ON or OFF keys of a remote-
control or keypad are pressed.
An event has occurred in the system:
It can be consulted and then deleted by pressing the info
key of the control keypad.
If there is a self-protection fault on a device, the alarm
cannot be enabled for as long as the problem remains.
If a passage is open, the alarm can nevertheless be
enabled, by again pressing ON within 10 seconds (for a
control keypad, type the code in again before pressing ON
again).
Make sure that the telephone line is correctly connected.
The control unit indicator light flashes continuously and the
control keypad just displays an empty house.
The system has remained in maintenance status, because
the enclosure of one of the system’s elements is incorrectly
closed.
Open the control unit compartment again.
Check each element until the SELF-PROTECTION
indicator light goes OFF.
Close the control unit compartment - the system is ready to
operate.
The control unit does not react or sounds several beeps
when a device is being tested.
Make sure that the device is correctly closed and correctly
secured to the wall.
Check the condition of the control unit's batteries and, if
necessary, replace them.
Check if the device is recognised by the control unit.
Repeat the test, bringing the device near to the control unit.
If the control unit reacts, there is a radio communication
problem to the control unit. Therefore, modify the definitive
position of the device.
