How to troubleshoot if the service LED indicator is OFF on my GE Controller?
If the service LED indicator on your GE Controller is OFF, it means the panel isn't getting power. You should: * Check the main power supply (either 110 or 230 VAC). * Inspect the power supply fuse. * Check the battery and its fuse.
What to do if the general fault and power supply failure LED indicator is on and the buzzer is sounding intermittently on a GE Controller?
If the general fault and power supply failure LED indicator is on and the buzzer is sounding intermittently on your GE Controller, it indicates that the panel is running on batteries because there's no main power supply. To resolve this, you should: * Check the main power supply (110 or 230 VAC) and its fuse. * Check the transformer. * Verify the battery connection and its fuse. * Ensure the battery voltage is above 24 VDC and the battery charger voltage is 27.6 VDC.
What to do if the general fault and disconnection LED indicators are on and the buzzer is sounding intermittently on a GE Controller?
If the general fault and disconnection LED indicators are on and the buzzer is sounding intermittently on your GE Controller, it means the panel isn't getting power from the mains, and the battery voltage is below 22V. Disconnect the battery and the power supply until either the mains voltage is restored or charged batteries are available.
What to do if the general fault and zone failure LED indicators are on (flashing) and the buzzer is sounding intermittently on my GE Controller?
If the general fault and zone failure LED indicators are flashing and the buzzer is sounding intermittently on your GE Controller, it indicates a fault in the indicated zone. You should: * Check the end-of-line resistance of the zone (4k7). * Ensure there are no short or open circuits in the lines. * Verify that there are no inverted polarity detector connections. * Confirm that no manual call points are activated without a series resistance.
How to enable a disabled zone on my GE Controller if the general disabled and zone disabled LED indicators are on and the buzzer is sounding intermittently?
If the general disabled and zone disabled LED indicators are on and the buzzer is sounding intermittently on your GE Controller, it means the indicated zone is disabled. If you want to enable it, turn the key to the ON position and press the key of the disabled zone.
What to do if the general fault and power supply failure LED indicator is on and the buzzer is sounding intermittently in GE Firefighting Equipment?
If the general fault and power supply failure LED indicator is on and the buzzer sounds intermittently, this indicates the panel is running on batteries due to a mains power supply failure. Check the 110 or 230 VAC power supply, the power supply fuse, and the transformer. Also, check the battery connection, battery fuse, ensure the battery voltage is above 24 VDC, and the battery charger voltage is 27.6 VDC.
What to do if the general fault and zone failure LED indicators are on (flashing) and the buzzer is sounding intermittently in GE Firefighting Equipment?
If the general fault and zone failure LED indicators are flashing and the buzzer is sounding intermittently, this means the indicated zone has a fault. Here's what you should check: 1. Verify the end-of-line resistance of the zone (4k7). 2. Ensure there are no short or open circuits in the lines. 3. Confirm there are no inverted polarity detector connections. 4. Check for manual call points activated without a series resistance.
How to troubleshoot if the service LED indicator is OFF in GE ARITECH FP400?
If the service LED indicator is off, it means the panel isn't receiving power. To resolve this: * Check the power supply (110 or 230 VAC). * Check the power supply fuse. * Check the battery. * Check the battery fuse.
What to do if the system failure LED indicator is on and the buzzer is sounding continuously in GE ARITECH FP400?
If the system failure LED indicator is on and the buzzer is sounding continuously, this indicates a control panel failure. Restart the system by disconnecting the batteries and the power supply voltage. After a few seconds, reconnect the power supply. If the problem persists, contact the supplier.
What to do if the general fault and disconnection LED indicators are on and the buzzer is sounding intermittently on GE ARITECH FP400 Firefighting Equipment?
If the general fault and disconnection LED indicators are on and the buzzer is sounding intermittently, it means the panel has no mains power supply and the battery voltage is below the minimum working voltage (22 V). Disconnect the battery and the power supply until the mains voltage or charged batteries can be supplied.

The GE Interlogix FP400 Series are conventional microprocessor-controlled fire detection and alarm panels, available in models such as the FP416 and FP404. These panels are designed to provide quick and efficient reaction in case of fire or fault situations by constantly checking connected devices and providing warning signals.
The FP400 Series panels monitor fire detection zones for alarms and faults. When an alarm situation is detected, the panel activates visual and acoustic indicators, including a general Fire LED and a zone-specific Fire LED, and triggers internal buzzers and alarm relays. If a sounder delay is programmed, the sounders will activate after the specified delay. In a fault situation, the panel indicates the type and location of the fault through flashing general fault, zone fault, power fault, or sounder fault LEDs, an intermittent internal buzzer, and activation of the fault relay.
The panel supports various operating modes:
The control panel features a set of LED indicators and buttons for operation:
To ensure correct functioning and EN-54 compliance, regular checks are recommended:
