To Next PageTo Next PageWhat does it mean when my GE 60-960-95 Security System touchpad indicates Invalid when bypassing a sensor?
If your GE Security System touchpad indicates 'Invalid' when you attempt to bypass a sensor, you may be attempting to bypass a 24-hour sensor that cannot be bypassed, such as group 26 fire sensors. Alternatively, the sensor may not be active in the current arming level.
How to fix a GE Security System that protests and won’t arm?
If your GE Security System protests and won’t arm, ensure all monitored perimeter doors and windows are closed when arming to level 2. If arming to level 3, make sure all perimeter and interior sensors are closed. Press the STATUS button for an indication of the problem.
How to troubleshoot loss of dial tone on GE 60-960-95 Security System?
If you experience a loss of dial tone at on-site phones after wiring the RJ-31X jack or connecting the DB-8 cord to your GE Security System, wait two minutes and try again, as the panel might be busy reporting to the central station. Disconnect the panel DB-8 cord from the RJ-31X jack; if the phone still doesn’t work, the system is likely okay, and the problem is in the wiring. Check the RJ-31X jack wiring and TELCO block wiring, replacing the RJ-31X jack if necessary. Also, check the DB-8 cord connections at the panel and RJ-31X jack, replacing the cord if needed. Perform a phone test after troubleshooting the phone line.
Why won't my GE 60-960-95 Security System disarm?
Your GE Security System might not disarm for several reasons: You may be entering an incorrect code, so ensure you are using the correct code. The access code might not be programmed or set up in user programming to disarm the system. If using a wireless touchpad, it may not be learned into the system, or if using a hardwire touchpad, it may not be communicating with the panel. Note that 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 60-960-95 Security System is not sending reports?
If the central station or pager is not receiving reports from your GE Security System, check that the premises phone line is working and perform a phone test. Ensure the DB-8 cord is plugged into the RJ-31X/CA-38A jack and is correctly wired to the panel. Verify the phone line wiring between the TELCO block and RJ-31X/CA-38A jack. If needed, replace faulty components such as the RJ-31X/CA-38A jack or the DB-8 cord. Also, verify that the central station/pager phone number is correctly programmed into the panel, and that the correct phone format (SIA or CID) is being used. For pagers, extend the pager delay setting.
What does it mean if my GE 60-960-95 touchpad display indicates System Low Battery?
If your GE Security System touchpad displays 'System Low Battery' or the system announces '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 to ensure it reads about 24 VAC. Also, check for 11.75 to 13.5 VDC battery voltage between the backup battery spade lugs; if the voltage isn't within this range, replace the battery.
What to do if my GE Security System panel does not power up?
If your GE Security System panel doesn't power up and the touchpads don’t display or respond, verify that the panel transformer is plugged into an unswitched outlet. Check the AC circuit breaker to be sure the circuit is live. Also, check that the backup battery is installed correctly and the AC power transformer is plugged in. Ensure proper panel and transformer wiring. Finally, measure the incoming AC voltage at panel terminals 1 and 2; it should read about 24 VAC.
