READING ALARM MEMORY AND TROUBLE DATA 
D-302755 PowerMaxComplete User's Guide  17 
  AC Supply Failure - There is no power and the 
system is  working on  backup  battery  power  (this 
trouble is reported 5 minutes after its occurrence). 
  System Jammed -  A  radio-frequency signal is 
blocking communication channel of sensors and 
control panel.  
  Communication failure - A message could not 
be sent to the central monitoring station or to a 
private telephone  (or  a  message  was sent  but 
was not acknowledged). 
  CPU  low  battery  -  The  backup  battery  within 
the control panel is weak and must be replaced 
(see Chapter 9 - Replacing Backup Battery). 
  CPU  tamper  -  The  control  panel  is  being 
tampered with. 
  Fuse Trouble - The siren fuse is burnt out. 
  Line  Failure  –  There  is  a  problem  with  the 
telephone line. 
IMPORTANT! If the trouble beeps bother you, disarm 
the system again (even though it is already disarmed). 
This will cancel the trouble beeps for 4 hours. 
B. Investigating Trouble Sources 
In  a  state  of  trouble,  a  flashing  TRBL  message  is 
displayed as shown in the following examples: 
or, if the system is not ready for arming - 
You can review the current troubles one by one, by 
clicking the   button. 
EXAMPLE: The kitchen sensor - zone No. 9 - has been 
inactive and the living room sensor - zone No. 15 - has 
reported a low battery. However, these troubles do not 
prevent the system from being “ready to arm”. 
To investigate the source of trouble, proceed as follows: 
In response to further clicking of  , the 
display will show details of other troubles (if any), or 
will  revert  to  the  initial  alternating  displays  (see 
example above). 
Reviewing  Memory  &  Troubles  at 
the Same Time 
If alarms / tamper events are retained in the alarm 
memory  and  at  the  same  time  a  state  of  trouble 
exists, the display will behave as shown below: 
or, if the system is not ready for arming - 
Note (not applicable to PowerMaxComplete that does 
not have VOICE feature): When a voice message is in 
memory, the MSG display will also appear (as shown 
in Chapter 3 - Recording a Message). 
To read status information - memory data, open zones 
and  trouble  sources  (in  this  order)  -  click  the 
 button repeatedly. The memory content 
will be displayed first, in the same manner shown in 
Chapter 5 - Reviewing Alarm / Tamper Memory. If the 
system is not ready, open zone information will follow 
in  the  same  manner  as  shown  in  Chapter  2  - 
Preparing  to  Arm.  Trouble  sources  will be  displayed 
last,  in  the  same  manner  shown  in  Chapter  5  - 
Reviewing Trouble Information. 
Correcting Trouble Situations 
The  trouble  indications  (illuminated  TROUBLE 
indicator  and  flashing  TRBL  message)  are  cleared 
once you eliminate the cause for trouble.  If you do 
not  know  how  to  cope  with  a  trouble  situation, 
report it to your installer and seek his advice. 
INACTIVITY:  Once  an  inactive  sensor  or  wireless 
commander renews its periodical transmissions, the 
inactivity trouble no longer exists and will no longer 
be indicated by the control panel. 
LOW  BATTERY:  Upon  replacing  the  battery  in  a 
wireless  device  in  a  keyfob  or  in  a  wireless 
commander  that  reported  a  low  battery,  the  next 
transmission made by the relevant sensor will include 
a “battery restored” message, and “low battery” will no 
longer be indicated by the control panel. 
SYSTEM  TROUBLE:  Correction  of  any  one  of  the 
system  troubles  is  automatically  sensed  by  the 
control  panel,  and  the  trouble  indication  is  cleared 
accordingly.
