What to do if GE 60-806-95R-16Z - Security Concord Express System Control Panel touchpads flash AC or display AC POWER FAILURE?
- C
  Cindy RasmussenAug 22, 2025
  If your GE Security System touchpad displays 'AC' or 'AC POWER FAILURE/AC FAILURE' after you press STATUS, it means there may be an issue with the AC power supply. First, check the AC circuit breaker to ensure it is live. Next, verify the panel and transformer wiring are correct. Make sure the transformer is plugged into a non-switched outlet and secured with the provided screw. Finally, check that the transformer is supplying AC power to the panel, as the transformer's internal fuse may be blown.

Why does my GE 60-806-95R-16Z - Security Concord Express System Control Panel Security System display all asterisks?
- M
  Mr. Dale Alexander Jr.Sep 2, 2025
  If your GE Security System shows all asterisks on the display, it usually means the touchpad is not correctly connected to the panel bus terminals or is wired incorrectly. Check and correct the wiring to resolve this issue.

How to resolve 'SENSOR/TOUCHPAD LOW BATTERY' on GE 60-806-95R-16Z - Security Concord Express System Control Panel Security System?
- S
  Steven WongAug 31, 2025
  If your GE Security System touchpad indicates 'SENSOR/TOUCHPAD NN LOW BATTERY', replace the battery in the device indicated. After replacing the battery, test the sensor/touchpad. If the sensor/touchpad is not tested after battery replacement, the system continues to show a low battery condition since that was the last signal it received from the device.

Why doesn't my GE 60-806-95R-16Z - Security Concord Express System Control Panel Security System alarm when a zone is tripped?
- D
  David WilsonAug 30, 2025
  If your GE Security System isn't triggering an alarm when a zone is tripped, first ensure that the system is armed, then trip the zone. If the system is armed and still not alarming, the zone may not be learned into the panel memory. Enter installer/dealer program mode and use the LEARN SENSORS menu to add the zone into memory.

Why won't my GE 60-806-95R-16Z - Security Concord Express System Control Panel Security System disarm?
- B
  Bonnie FoxAug 29, 2025
  To troubleshoot a GE Security System that won't disarm, first ensure you are using the correct code. If the access code is not programmed or set up correctly in user programming to disarm the system, this could be the issue. Also, check if a wireless touchpad is not learned into the system, or if a hardwired touchpad is not communicating with the panel. Verify installer programming for learned touchpads. Remember, the system is designed not to disarm using the installer code; use a regular or system master code instead.

What to do if my GE 60-806-95R-16Z - Security Concord Express System Control Panel Security System protests and won't arm?
- M
  Maria SilvaAug 27, 2025
  If your GE Security System is protesting and won’t arm, and you are arming to level 2, ensure all monitored perimeter doors and windows are closed. If arming to level 3, make sure all perimeter and interior sensors are closed. Press the STATUS button for more information about the problem.

GE Security System panel not powering up, what to check?
- S
  Scott Myers IVAug 27, 2025
  If your GE Security System panel does not power up and the touchpads don’t display anything or respond, first check that the panel transformer is plugged into an unswitched outlet. Then, check the AC circuit breaker to ensure the circuit is live. Make sure the backup battery is correctly installed and the AC power transformer is plugged in. Check for proper panel and transformer wiring. Finally, measure the incoming AC voltage at panel terminals 1 and 2; it should read about 16.5 VAC.

Why is my GE Security System not sending reports to the central station?
- E
  epetersonAug 26, 2025
  If your GE Security System is not receiving reports at the central station or pager, there are several things you can check: * First, make sure the premises phone line is working and perform a phone test. * Check that the DB-8 cord is correctly plugged into the RJ-31X/CA-38A jack and that the cord is wired correctly to the panel. Also, verify the phone line wiring between the TELCO block and RJ-31X/CA-38A jack. * Verify that the central station/pager phone number is programmed into the panel, and reprogram it if necessary. Ensure that reporting features like High Level Rpts and Low Level Rpts are set to 'on'. * Confirm that the correct phone format (SIA or CID) is being used. For pagers, extend the pager delay setting.

How to fix 'SYSTEM LOW BATTERY' message on GE 60-806-95R-16Z - Security Concord Express System Control Panel touchpad?
- T
  Thomas Smith IIAug 25, 2025
  If your GE Security System touchpad indicates 'SYSTEM LOW BATTERY', ensure the backup battery is correctly installed and the AC power transformer is plugged in. Measure the incoming AC voltage at panel terminals 1 and 2; it should be approximately 16.5 VAC. Disconnect the red (positive) battery wire and check for 11.75 to 13.5 VDC battery charging voltage between panel terminal 3 (GND) and the disconnected red battery wire. If the charging voltage is not within range, call Technical Services. Also, check for 11.75 to 13.5 VDC battery voltage between the backup battery spade lugs. If the battery voltage is not within this range, replace the battery.
