System or Point Fault Event Operation of the Control Panel
System Faults
A message from the “Fault Type” column in Table 2.2 will appear in the second line on the left of
the panel display when a device fault occurs. Use this table to help determine the cause of the fault.
SYSTEM FAULTS
FAULT MESSAGE TYPE FAULT DESCRIPTION
AA FAULT BUS FAIL The AA Fault Bus has failed. Investigate and fix.
AC FAIL Loss of AC power. Investigate whether there is an AC power loss, or whether the power supply is correctly
installed and wired.
ADV WALK TEST There is an Advanced Walk Test in progress.
AMPLIFIER LIMIT The DAA is overloaded. Remove outputs to lower the load on the speaker circuits. Press reset when done.
AMPLIFIER SUPERVISION The amplifier’s internal supervision is not working. Call Technical Services.
AMPLIFIER FAULT The DAA is in fault. The output is overloaded or the amplifier is damaged. Remove outputs to determine if the
DAA was overloaded. If it still does not work, call Technical Services.
ANALOG OUTPUT x
FAULT A fault has occurred on DVC-AO analog output x (1 - 4). The analog output is configured for Style 7, but no
audio signal is returned. Investigate and fix.
ANNUN x
NO ANSWER The annunciator at address x is not responding.
ANNUN x
FAULT The annunciator at address x is in fault.
ANNUN x
TYPE MISMATCH The annunciator at address x does not match the annunciator type programmed at that address. Investigate
and fix.
AUDIO LIBRARY CORRUPTED The DVC’s audio library is corrupted. Re-create and/or re-download an intact database.
AUDIO LIBRARY INCOMPATIBLE The audio library version is incompatible with the database and/or the application version.
AUXIN FAULT Generated when the auxiliary input is supervised (as determined in VeriFire® Tools programming) and no
signal is coming from the input. Check wiring and source.
BACKUP AMP x
FAIL The Backup Amp at address x has failed. Call Technical Services.
BACKUP AMP x
HARDWARE FAIL The Backup Amp at address x has had a hardware failure. Call Technical Services.
BACKUP AMP x
LIMIT The Audio Circuit of the Backup Amplifier at address x has been overloaded or shorted so the Audio Signal has
been attenuated. Check wiring and source and ensure that there are no shorts.
BACKUP AMP x
OVERCURRENT The Backup Amplifier at address x has overloaded and shut down. Check the total Load calculations fir the DS-
AMP and/or DS-BDA and ensure the total values do not exceed 120 watts.
BACKUP AMP x
NOT INSTALLED The Backup Amplifier that is programmed at address x is not communicating with the DS-AMP. Ensure the
ribbon and power cables are properly attached to the DS-AMP and DS-BDA. If there is no Backup Amplifier at
that address, remove the Backup Amplifier from programming.
BACKUP AMP x
TRIP The DS-BDA at DS-BUS address x (1-4) is drawing more current from the power supply than expected and
has been disabled. Refer to the DVC manual for additional troubleshooting.
BASIC WALK TEST A Basic Walk Test is in progress.
BATTERY The power supply’s battery voltage is too high or too low. Check the batteries for problems. Replace batteries if
necessary.
BUZZER OFF-LINE The piezo is disabled.
CHARGER FAIL* The power supply’s battery charger is not functioning. Investigate and correct.
CLOSED POS. LOOP x
There is an open circuit on the positive side of loop x. Closed wiring is a supervised method of communicating
with addressable devices. If the control panel detects a fault (open only), it will drive both ends of the loop,
maintaining communication in an unsupervised method. The latching fault will display on the panel as a Closed
fault until you correct the condition and press reset.
CLOSED NEG. LOOP x
There is an open circuit on the negative side of loop x. Closed wiring is a supervised method of communicating
with addressable devices. If the control panel detects a fault (open only), it will drive both ends of the loop,
maintaining communication in an unsupervised method. The latching fault will display on the panel as a Closed
fault until you correct the condition and press reset.
CLOSED SHORT LOOP x
Closes wiring is a supervised method of communicating with addressable devices. If the control panel detects
a fault (open or short), it will drive both ends of the loop, maintaining communication in an unsupervised
method. The latching fault will display on the panel as a Closed fault until you correct the condition and press
reset.
CORRUPT LOGIC EQUAT The database that houses the panel’s logic equations is corrupt. It must be re-downloaded, or all programming
must be cleared and re-entered.
DAA ADDRESS CONFLICT More than one DAA has the same address. Readdress DAA(s).
DAA DOWNLOAD IN PROGRESS A DAA download is in progress.
DAA NO ANSWER A DAA is not responding. Investigate and fix.
DAL DEVICE NO ANSWER The DAL device is not communicating with the fire panel. Check wiring and source.
DAP PORT x
FAILURE Digital Audio Port x (A or B) 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 DVC database programming file is corrupted. Re-download or re-recreate & download an intact database.
DATABASE INCOMPATIBLE The DVC database programming file is incompatible with the application version.
DIGIN FAULT The DAA has determined that its DVC has stopped transmitting audio data to the Digital Audio Loop (DAL),
even though the loop is still functional. Update code, ensure all code on the DAL is compatible. If the DVC still
does not transmit digital audio data, call Technical Services.
DISPLAY COMM LOSS Communication with the keypad display has been lost. Check cable connection, investigate and fix.
