    What to do if Vigilant Fire Alarms panel has no lights when PSU power light is on?
    • M
      Maria SchwartzSep 7, 2025
      If there are no lights or LCD activity when the panel’s main power switch is turned on, but the PSU power light is on, it means mains power is reaching the panel’s internal PSU, but the panel’s other circuitry is not activated and the battery is discharged or faulty. Check that the PSU wiring loom to the main board is correctly connected and is undamaged.
