      The error 'ERROR: UNABLE TO RECEIVE CONFIG DATA' on your Vigilant Security System means that while the LCD/Keyboard communications are okay, the Controller won’t send a valid config message to the Keyboard. A likely cause is that the LCD/Keyboard and Controller board firmware versions are incompatible. Install compatible firmware versions in LCD/Keyboard and Controller. Contact service company.

      If your Vigilant Security System displays 'Command not accepted. Not allowed', it means the remote panel does not allow commands to be sent to it from this panel. This is determined by the configuration data file in the remote panel. Check that the point or zone number has been entered correctly.

    What does it mean when my Vigilant MX1 Security System displays 'ERROR: CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH MAIN BOARD'?
    • H
      halejohnAug 28, 2025
      When your Vigilant Security System displays 'ERROR: CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH MAIN BOARD', it means the LCD/Keyboard cannot communicate with the Controller. This could be because the Controller is having its firmware programmed, there's no valid configuration data file in the panel, there is a faulty loom, or there is a faulty Controller/LCD/ Keyboard. Check that the FRC is correctly inserted into J8 of Keyboard and J30 of Controller. Check that Controller indicators B and C are flashing to show normal processing. Press SILENCE buzzer and recheck when programming is completed. Reload configuration data file. Download the configuration data file. Replace.

    What to do if Vigilant MX1 Security System shows 'Error processing command'?
    • J
      James NelsonAug 27, 2025
      If your Vigilant Security System displays 'Error processing command', the configuration data file may be corrupt, or the memory may be corrupt. Use Smart Config to extract the active database and verify it matches the master file. Confirm that point 241.1 is present in the database and has a “check” in the “can be disabled” column. Restart the panel. Contact service company.
