7.1 Before Turning the Power On
1. To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering
the system from the main AC supply.
2. Check that all modules are installed in the proper location with the proper connections.
3. Check all field (external) wiring for opens, shorts, and ground.
4. Check that all interconnection cables are secure, and that all connectors are plugged in
properly.
5. Check all jumpers and switches for proper setting.
6. Check the AC power wiring for proper connection.
7. Check that the chassis is connected to EARTH GROUND (cold water pipe).
8. Make sure to close the front cover plate before powering the system from main AC
supply.
7.2 Power-Up Procedure
1. After completing the above procedures, power-up the panel. The green AC ON LED and
the Common Trouble LED should illuminate, and the buzzer should sound.
2. Press the System Reset button. Since the batteries are not connected, the Battery/
Charger Trouble LED should illuminate, the trouble buzzer should sound intermittently,
and the Common Trouble LED should flash.
3. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity: the red wire is positive (+) and the
black wire is negative (-). All indicators should extinguish except for the AC ON LED.
4. Configure the fire alarm control panel as described in9.0 System Configuration on
page 60.
7.3 Troubleshooting
Message Description
Circuit Trouble Normally when a circuit trouble occurs, its designated trouble indicator will be
illuminated, as well as the Common Trouble indicator and Trouble buzzer. To
correct the fault, check for open wiring on that particular circuit loop or see if the
circuit disconnect switch is in the ON or CLOSED position. Note: disconnecting a
circuit will cause a system trouble (off-normal position).
Remote Fail The panel will display a Remote Fail for any failure reported by or failure to
communicate with a remote annunciator or other remote device.
Ground Fault The FA-1000 panel has a Common Ground Fault Detector. To correct the fault,
check for any external wiring touching the chassis or other earth ground connection.
Battery/Charger
Trouble
Check for the presence of batteries and their conditions. Low voltage (below 20.4V)
will cause a battery trouble. If battery/charger trouble condition persists, replace the
batteries as soon as possible. If the problem still persists, main board may need to
be replaced.
