WES

Troubleshooting Guide
Green LED
Active units with no faults will ash their green LEDs once every 4 seconds
to indicate that the unit is operational.
Amber LED
Each WES
3
unit monitors itself for a number of faults. These are indicated
via the amber LED, which will ash in grouped patterns with longer than
usual gaps in between them.
Units displaying one of these patterns require further investigation and
should not be relied upon as part of the re alarm and detection system
until the fault has been corrected. Use the chart below to determine the
nature of the issue:
Warning Code Warning Description Self-Clearing SMS Setting
MED Medical Alert Medical assistance required at Unit NNN No 8
BAT Low Battery Unit NNN has a low battery No 5
DET Detector Tamper Unit NNN has had detector head removed Yes 3
EXT External Tamper Unit NNN has been removed from wall/ceiling Yes 4
FLT Flat Battery Unit NNN has turned off, its battery is at No 5
INT Internal Tamper Unit NNN has been opened No 2
LAT Latched Call point button on unit NNN is still depressed Yes 10
REM Removed Unit NNN has been deactivated and removed No 9
SIG Low Signal Unit NNN has a low radio signal Yes 6
TST System Test Unit NNN initiated a System test Yes 7
NEW Unexpected Unit Unit NNN added since last system poll No Via WES App
GON Unit Missing Unit NNN removed since last system poll No Via WES App
Group Flash 1 - Low Battery
Group Flash 2 - Low signal
Group Flash 3 - Unpaired
Group Flash 4 - Tamper
Group Flash 5 - Re-arm or Unit latched
If a detector has raised the alarm, its red LED indicator will ash during a re
alarm.
It is recommended that the re system is tested weekly or whenever a
signicant change has been made to the installation or the building under
construction. WES
3
is equipped with a system test function that allows you to
test the radio link between units without activating an audible re alarm.
You can therefore ensure each unit in the system has a robust radio link with
sufcient capacity to allow for environmental uctuations without disturbing
the site.
