Power Up & Troubleshooting
Power Up
1. Turn on the AC Power to the QX-5000 Audio Cabinet. Do not connect the batteries at this point. The system
will indicate troubles; ignore these for now.
2. Turn on the AC power at the fire alarm control panel. Do not connect batteries at this point. The system will
indicate troubles; ignore these for now (see the fire alarm control panel manual for details).
3. The QX-5000 Audio Cabinet's AC On LED should be illuminated steady green, and the Battery Trouble LED
should be steady amber. The fire alarm initiating circuit used as a trouble-only circuit to the QX-5000's trouble
contacts should indicate trouble.
4. Connect the QX-5000 and fire alarm control panel batteries, observing correct polarity: the red wire is positive
(+) and the black wire is negative (-) (see the fire alarm control panel manual for details).
All trouble indicators should extinguish except for the normal power "A.C. ON" LED. See the Displays & Controls
section on page 27 for an explanation of any remaining troubles.
Troubleshooting
Verify the correct operation and check that the QMP-5100B or QMP-5101B zone operation matches the
configuration.
Trouble Description
Audio Zone Trouble
Normally when a zone trouble occurs, its designated trouble indicator
will be ON steady. To correct the fault, check for wiring faults on that
particular Zone loop.
Audio Amp Trouble Indicates an internal fault on an amplifier.
QIF-5000B Troubles
These indicate either a faulty QIF-5000B, or a wiring fault between the
QIF-5000B and either the fire alarm control panel or the QMP-5100B or
QMP-5101B.
Lobby/Mic Trouble
May indicate a fault in the QMP-5100B or QMP-5101B. Check their LED
indicators.
Ground Fault
The remote annunciator panel has its own common ground fault
detector. This is independent of the fire alarm control panel. To correct
the fault, check for any external wiring touching the chassis.
Battery Trouble
Check for the presence of batteries and their conditions. Low battery
voltage (below 20.4V) will cause a battery trouble. Note that brand new
batteries may take several hours to charge initially. If the battery trouble
condition persists, replace batteries as soon as possible.
