Trouble Messages
The following messages are displayed on the 6160/6160CR-2 when a problem exists on the Communications Device:
1. “LRR Battery”: The battery connected to the Communications Device is low.
2. “PLL out of Lock”: The Communications Device has an internal fault and cannot transmit any messages.
3. “Early Power Detect”: RF power is detected without a valid transmission.
4. “Power Unattained”: Full RF power was never attained.
5. “Frwd. Power Loss”: RF power was not sustained throughout the transmission.
6. “Antenna Fault”: A problem with the antenna has been detected.
7. “LRR CRC is bad”: The Communications Device’s EEPROM is corrupt (the internal CRC is bad).
NOTES:
Items 2 and 3 require factory service.
Items 4 and 5 could be the result of a bad or low battery.
If the item 6 message appears, check the antenna, connection and cable; if they are secure, factory service is required.
All these messages are displayed in conjunction with the “CHECK 8xx” message, which indicates a trouble on the
address to which the Communications Device is programmed in the control.
All of these events except Antenna Fault are sent to the event log and reported to the central station using Contact ID
Event Code 333 (expansion device trouble). Antenna Fault uses Event Code 357. If the tamper is tripped on the
Communications Device, it uses Event Code 341 (expansion device tamper).
Event Log Connections
This system has the ability to record up to 512 events of various categories in the Event Log (history log). Each event is
recorded with the time and date of its occurrence (if real-time clock is set).
The categories are Alarm, Supervisory/Check, Bypass, Open/Close, System and Test conditions. The log may be viewed
on an alpha keypad or printed on a serial printer.
• When using a printer, field 3*19 must be programmed for RS232 input (1).
• If you are using a serial printer, J2 pins 5 and 9 on the control panel cannot be used to interface with
Automation software.
Connecting the Transformer
The control panel kit you purchased comes with the appropriate transformer: an external transformer or a factory
mounted internal transformer. Both transformers have a manually resettable circuit breaker.
Use the following instructions for mounting and wiring the 18VAC secondary winding of the external transformer.
To connect the external transformer to the control, perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Remove the front cover of the enclosure.
2 Mount the enclosure to the wall near the control panel. The enclosure has four mounting holes on its back
surface for this purpose.
3
Run 120VAC wiring to the enclosure in conduit. A dedicated circuit must be used.
4 Use wire nuts to splice the 120VAC wires to the transformer’s white and black primary leads.
5 Connect the earth ground post on the back of the enclosure to a good earth ground.
6 Run 16AWG wire in conduit from the enclosure to the control panel.
7 Use wire nuts to splice the transformer blue 18VAC secondary leads to the 16AWG wire. Connect the
16AWG wire at the control panel to terminals 1 and 2.
8 Replace the front cover of the enclosure and fasten it with the screws supplied.
• Use wires having insulation rated for at least 90°C operation and suitable for non-power limited applications.
• Use care to keep 18VAC wiring separated from all other wiring inside the control panel’s enclosure. This must be
done by running, non-power-limited 18VAC wiring into the control panel’s enclosure via one of the knockouts on
the left-hand side, and then tie-wrapping these wires to the tie-wrap loops located near the knockout.
