3.6 Fault Conditions 
When a Fault (Trouble) condition occurs, the Yellow LED will illuminate.  See Figure 3-6 for the location of 
the Yellow LED.

Fault (Trouble) conditions can be caused by: 
  Under Voltage Input Power (< 18 VDC). 
  Over Voltage Input Power   (> 32 VDC). 
  Over Temperature (> 85° C or 185° F for the Standard Version). 
  Under Temperature (< -40° C or -40° F for the Standard Version). 
  One or more Microprocessor Failures. 
  One or more Relay Coil Failures. 
 Communication Fault. 
  Electronic Self-Test Failure. 
  Dirty Window Lens (Yellow LED flashes, the Yellow LED is ON [solid] for all other Faults). 
 
3.7 Maintenance 
After the FS24X Detector is installed and commissioned, there is little maintenance required.  However, a 
complete “end-to-end” test of the entire fire detection system should be performed periodically depending on 
the application.  Additionally, semi-annual or quarterly testing should be performed, using the correct 
Honeywell Analytics Test Lamp, to ensure the integrity of the entire fire protection system. 
In order to ensure the Detector is operating properly at all times, it may be necessary to establish a periodic 
cleaning schedule.  Some industrial environments may necessitate more frequent cleaning of the Detector’s 
optical surfaces than others.
