13.19 Review Logs
There are two logs available on the PCX system:
¾ The Panel Log: Includes all Arm, Disarm and Alarm events. The code holder performing any operation
may be identified by pressing the nkey. The panel log also includes all system faults, details of engineer
access etc.
¾ The Access Log: Includes all Access Control and Guard Tour events. (Not Available on PCX 26/SMS)
With each log, use the pkey to move from one event to the previous event. The mkey will move from one
event to the next event that occurred.
To view additional details, press the nkey. If no other information is available, the display will move to the
next log entry. Pressing the kkey will return to the main screen for that entry.
Information on all fault codes that appear in the log can be seen on page: 143.

13.19.3 Fault Codes (Device Fail)
Fault codes shown in the system log include numeric code to identify the equipment at which the fault is
present. For example:
Device Fail 203
Mains Fail 400
The first digit identifies the type of device:
1 = Control Panel (PCX 26/SMS or PCX 256)
2 = Keypad (PCX-LCD/UK)
3 = Tag Reader or External Proximity Reader (PCX-PROX/INT and PCX-PROX/EXT)
4 = Remote Input Expander (PCX-RIX8, PCX-RIX8+, PCX-RIX8+/PSU)
5 = Remote Output Expander (PCX-ROX16R)
The remaining digits identify the address of the device, so if the display showed “Device Failure 203”, then
there would be a possible wiring fault on the keypad that is addressed as “03”. If the display showed “Mains
Failure 400”, then the power supply fitted to the RIX addressed as “00” needs to be checked.
Please note a list of all the fault codes and log meanings are shown in Appendix A, page: 143.
