POINT TROUBLES
TROUBLE TYPE TROUBLE DESCRIPTION ACTION
AC FAILURE The main or auxiliary power supply has lost AC
power.
Determine whether there is an AC power loss or whether
the power supply and wiring is correct.
ALIGNMENT MODE A beam detector is in configuration mode. No action is necessary, as the trouble will clear when the
configuration is complete. However, the detector will not
detect a fire while this trouble exists.
BATTERY HIGH The power supply’s battery charge is too high. Check the batteries for problems. Replace batteries if
necessary.
BATTERY LOW The power supply’s battery charge is low, or the
RFX device’s battery charge is low.
Check the batteries for problems. Replace batteries if
necessary.
BEAM BLOCKED Something has come between the detector’s
beam and its reflector.
Investigate and clear the blockage.
BRAND MISMATCH The brand of this SLC device is incompatible
with this FACP system.
Replace with compatible device.
CHARGER FAULT The power supply’s battery charger is not
working properly.
Correct the fault.
DET FAILED TEST This detector has failed the FACP’s periodic
detector test for alarm capabilities.
The detector should be removed and replaced by an
authorized service representative.
DUAL ADDRESS There is more than one device of a single type
(detector or module) with the same SLC
address. A detector and a module can share the
same address on an SLC, but two detectors, or
two modules, can not. Note that some
addressable devices (e.g. certain power
supplies, XPIQs and RFXs) may not appear to
be detectors or modules, but are addressed on
the SLC as such.
Readdress the incorrect device.
GENERAL
TROUBLE
The power supply is not working properly. Check the battery for problems. Replace battery if
necessary.
GROUND FAULT There is a ground fault on the main or auxiliary
power supply.
Correct the fault.
INITIALIZATION
MODE
A beam detector is running through its
initialization sequence.
The detector will not detect a fire until the initialization
process is complete and this trouble has cleared.
INVALID
RESPONSE
The device has returned a response to the panel
that the panel did not expect.
Check the device for functionality, addressing and wiring.
LOW
TEMPERATURE
The temperature read by a Heat+ or
Acclimate™+ detector is too low.
Raise the heat in the area of the detector.
LOW THRESHOLD The detector chamber reading is too low; the
detector is not operating properly.
The detector must be removed and replaced by an
authorized service representative.
MAINTENANCE
REQ
The detector is dirty and needs cleaning Clean the detector.
MAINT URGENT The detector requires cleaning immediately. It is
a false alarm risk.
Clean the detector immediately.
MISMAT HDWE
TYPE
The programming information in the panel’s
database for this device does not match the type
of device at the address specified.
Correct programming.
MOD EXT PWR
LOSS
The control module point has lost external
power.
Determine whether there is a DC power loss.
NO ANSWER The device (module or detector) is not
responding to the poll. Either the device is not
working or it is not connected properly.
Determine whether the device is functional, and
connected and addressed properly on the SLC.
NORMAL Indicates activated monitor module set to
monitor trouble condition.
Correct trouble condition.
OPEN CIRCUIT The module device has an open circuit on its
supervised wiring.
Check the connections from the module to the input or
output device to which it is wired.
