What to do if GE Security Control Panel shows low or no AC power, system trouble LED, and slow intermittent trouble sounder?
- K
  Kristin BarreraAug 8, 2025
  If your GE Security Control Panel indicates low or no AC power accompanied by a system trouble LED and a slow intermittent trouble sounder, it could be due to several reasons. First, there might be a loss of AC line voltage; in this case, consider upgrading the circuit or moving to a new one if the voltage is too low. Second, low AC power could be the issue; if the transformer primary measures less than 94 VAC with no load or less than 102 VAC with maximum load, or if the secondary shows less than 22 VAC with no load, replace the transformer. Finally, check for loose or broken connections, or a damaged transformer.

What does it mean when the GE Security Control Panel shows a ground fault LED, system trouble LED, and slow intermittent trouble sounder?
- J
  Jordan GreenAug 12, 2025
  If the GE Security Control Panel displays a ground fault LED, system trouble LED, and emits a slow intermittent trouble sounder, it indicates a ground fault. This can be caused by a ground on any circuit, excluding alarm or trouble contacts. To resolve this, remove one wire at a time until the ground fault LED and system trouble LED turn off, then repair the circuit causing the fault condition. Another potential cause is a ground in the transformer. To check this, remove the AC input from the board; if the ground fault LED goes out, replace the transformer.

Why does my GE Security Control Panel show a system trouble LED, zone 2 trouble LED, and rapid trouble beep?

  The GE Security Control Panel showing a system trouble LED, zone 2 trouble LED, and a rapid trouble beep indicates an issue with zone 2. This could be due to an open in the zone 2 circuit, meaning there may be broken wires or opens in the circuit. Also, ensure that the Disconnect/Walktest switch is in the normal position.

What to do if GE Security Control Panel shows low or no battery LED, system trouble LED, and trouble sounder slow intermittent?

  If your GE Security Control Panel is showing a low/no battery LED, a system trouble LED, and a slow intermittent trouble sounder, it indicates a battery issue. This could be due to several reasons: * The battery may be low (less than 24 VDC), in which case you should replace the batteries. * The battery might be missing or have a voltage less than 20 VDC, requiring battery replacement. * A blown fuse could be the problem; if the fuse is blown, determine why, correct the problem, and replace the fuse. * There may be an open or break in the battery harness, necessitating its replacement.
