The SILENCE ALARMS button has been pressed whilst the sounders
were operating, and they have been silenced.
The SOUND ALARMS button has been pressed whilst the sounders were
not operating, and they have been activated.
resetting the panel
The auxiliary input at a detector or a Loop powered I/O module is in the
alarm state. Reset the triggering input to that device before resetting the
control panel.
circuit
Investigate the input for
open circuit
An auxiliary input at a detector or a Loop powered I/O module is in the
open circuit state. Check that the 3k3 EOL resistor is fitted, or that the
EOL switch is turned on, but not both. Check also that all cables are
correctly connected and that the circuit is complete.
Note. Even if the auxiliary I/O is set to its output state, it still monitors its
input circuit for EOL, and this is still reported as relating to the AUX input.
circuit
Investigate the input for
short circuit
An auxiliary input at a detector or a Loop powered I/O module is in the
short circuit state. Check that the 3k3 EOL resistor is fitted, or that the
EOL switch is turned on, but not both. Check also that all cables are
correctly connected and that the circuit is complete and not presenting a
short circuit to the input.
Note. Even if the auxiliary I/O is set to its output state, it still monitors its
input circuit for EOL, and this is still reported as relating to the AUX input.

failed
Investigate the batteries
and charger
A fault has been detected in the battery charger circuitry. Ensure that the
battery connections are making a good connection and that the fuse is
securely clamped. If possible check the batteries with an intelligent battery
tester, or replace them with a new set to see if the fault clears.
Investigate the batteries
and fuse
A fault has been detected in the standby batteries. Ensure that the battery
connections are making a good connection and that the fuse is securely
clamped. If possible check the batteries with an intelligent battery tester,
or replace them with a new set to see if the fault clears.
A fault detected in the standby batteries has been cleared.
resistance
A fault has been detected in the standby batteries and they must be
replaced in order to resume correct operation.
removed
is correctly fitted
The Optical Chamber has been removed from a Multipoint detector.
and reinitialise
The device has detected a failure in its processing circuitry or memory
and must be replaced.
Investigate the device(s)
and reinitialise
The device is not reporting to panel on its ‘Poll Presence Count’
