7.0 System Checkout
7.1 Before turning the power “ON”
1. To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering the
system from the main AC supply.
2. Check that all modules are installed in the proper location with the proper connections.
3. Check all field (external) wiring for opens, shorts, and ground.
4. Check that all interconnection cables are secure, and that all connectors are plugged in
properly.
5. Check all jumpers and switches for proper setting.
6. Check the AC power wiring for proper connection.
7. Check that the chassis is connected to EARTH GROUND (cold water pipe).
8. Make sure to close the front cover plate before powering the system from main AC supply.
The best way to check out a panel first is to not connect any field wiring. Power up the panel
with an end of line. The panel should be free of trouble. Then connect one circuit at one time.
If a trouble occurs, correct the fault then continue the field wiring.
7.2 Power-up procedure
After completing the System Checkout procedures outlined above,
1. Power up the panel. The "AC ON" green LED and the “Common Trouble” LED should
illuminate, and the buzzer should sound. Press the “System Reset” button. Since the batteries
are not connected, the trouble buzzer should sound intermittently and the common trouble LED
should flash.
2. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity: the red wire is positive (+) and black wire
is negative (-). All indicators should be OFF except for normal power "AC ON" green LED and
green LED I4 (below the TROUBLE relay at left bottom of board).
3. Configure the Fire Alarm Control Panel as described in the Configuration section.
7.3 Troubleshooting
Note: Green LED I4 is illuminated when the system is normal. This LED indicates that
the trouble relay is in normal standby condition.
Symptoms Possible Cause
Circuit
Trouble
To correct the fault, check for open wiring on that particular circuit loop or if
the Circuit Disconnect Button is active. Notes: (1) Bypassing a detection
circuit or signal circuit will cause a system trouble (off-normal status); (2)
Bypassing a releasing circuit will cause a supervisory signal.
