AFP-3030 Operations Manual — P/N DOC-01-039:A 26/11/2015 20
System or Point Fault Event Operation of the Control Panel
DAP PORT x FAILURE Digital Audio Port x (A or B), wire or fibre, is not
communicating due to a break in the connection, a
short, or faulty hardware.
Locate and fix the break or short. If the problem is not a short
or break, call technical Services.
DATABASE
CORRUPTED
The database that houses the DVC/DAL devices
programming is corrupt.
The database must be re-downloaded or all programming
must be cleared and re-entered. If the fault still does not clear,
call Technical Services.
DATABASE
INCOMPATIBLE
The programming database version is not compatible
with the application version.
The correct application or version must be downloaded.
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.
DETECTOR FAULT The detector unit has detected a fault condition. Check wiring and air flow to the unit. Refer to the detector’s
product guide for additional information.
DEVICE INHIBIT The FMM-4-20 module is in a self-calibration state. No action is required.
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 and
RFXs) may not appear to be detectors or modules, but
are addressed on the SLC as such.
Readdress the incorrect device.
DVC COMM LOSS The DAL device is not in communication with the DVC. The DVC will generate a DAL NO ANSWER error to the panel
or network annunciator for investigation.
EXTERNAL RAM
ERROR
The internal RAM test failed on the DVC or DAL device. Call Technical Services.
FAULT1 An FMM-4-20 module threshold fault as determined in
point programming.
Refer to the AFP-3030 Programming Manual.
FAULT2 An FMM-4-20 module threshold fault as determined in
point programming.
Refer to the AFP-3030 Programming Manual.
FFT FAULT There is a short or open on the FFT riser. Check the 4-wire switch is correctly set and that there is an
end-of-line resistor in place for 2-wire operation.
FILTER FAULT The device’s air filter needs to be replaced. Refer to the related device’s product guide for air filter
replacement procedures.
FLASH IMAGE FAULT The DVC or DAL device software is corrupt. Re-download the panel code software from VeriFire Tools. If
the fault still does not clear, call Technical Services.
GENERAL FAULT 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, auxiliary, or DAL
device power supply.
Locate and correct the fault.
GROUND FAULT PORT
x
A ground fault has occurred on the Digital Audio Port
(DAP) x
. Wire versions only.
Locate and correct the fault.
HIGH FLOW Air flow to the device is too high. Inspect the pipes for damage.
INCORRECT
POSITION
The address of the detector does not match that of the
sounder base it is plugged into.
Correct the addressing error. Re-install the device in its original
physical position on the loop.
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 fault 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.
IR FAULT The infrared element is not working properly on a FSC-
851 detector. This fault is generated for FlashScan
mode only.
Replace the detector.
LOADING...NO
SERVICE
The DVC or DAL device is in bootloader mode. The
DVC/DAL device is NOT providing fire protection
communication while this fault is active.
Proper authorities should be notified while this fault is active so
that other means of protection can be supplied, if necessary.
LOCAL MIC FAULT The local microphone is in fault. There is no
communication, or paging has been enabled for over 28
seconds and no signal has been received.
Investigate whether the mic is plugged into the DVC, or
whether there is a problem with the handset.
LOCAL PHONE FAULT The local FFT handset is in fault. There is either a
failure with the local handset, or paging from FFT has
been enabled for over 28 seconds and no signal has
been received.
Investigate whether the handset is plugged into the DVC, or
whether there is a problem with the handset.
LOW FLOW Air flow through the pipe is too low. Inspect the pipes for damage or clogging.
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.
