7.14.7 Error Displays/Warnings
This section explains the procedure for reading Error displays and Warnings.
Control Panel Errors are indicated by a flashing green Power Light. The DS7447/DS7447E display will also read “Control Trouble,
Enter #87.” The DS7445/DS7445i will only flash the green Power Light. The Error displays may only be read when the control is
disarmed. Control Panel Errors will send a “System Trouble” report if it is programmed.
Control Panel Warnings are indicated by a display message on the DS7447/DS7447E keypad and a keypad beep every ten seconds.
The keypad beep may be silenced by performing a disarm command [PIN] + [OFF]. The warning message will continue to be displayed
until the problem is repaired. Control Panel Warnings will not send a “System Trouble” report even if it is programmed.
Contact your installing company if the problems persist.
Error Messages:
1. DS7447/DS7447E - “AC Power Failure” / DS7445/DS7445i -
LED 1 turns on steady: There is a power failure and the panel
is operating on backup battery.
2. DS7447/DS7447E - “Battery Trouble” / DS7445/DS7445i - LED
2 turns on steady: If the system has just been through a power
failure, wait at least two hours for the battery to recharge,
then enter a [PIN] + [System Reset] to perform a battery test.
3. DS7447/DS7447E - “Communicator Err” / DS7445/DS7445i -
LED 3 turns on steady: The communicator failed to communi-
cate with the central station.
4. DS7447/DS7447E - “System Fault” / DS7445/DS7445i - LED
4 turns on steady: Internal error in the control circuitry or option-
al circuitry. These faults are designated as follows (see charts
below):
5. DS7447/DS7447E - “Keypad Fault” / DS7445/DS7445i - LED
5 turns on steady: One of the keypads is not responding to the
control panel.
6. DS7447/DS7447E - “Keypad Tamper” / DS7445/DS7445i -
LED 6 turns on steady:
One of the keypads is tampered.
7. DS7447/DS7447E - “Multiplex Bus” / DS7445/DS7445i - LED
7 turns on steady: The multiplex bus is defective or has been
shorted.
8. DS7447/DS7447E - “Aux Power Fault” / DS7445/DS7445i -
LED 8 turns on steady: The auxiliary power has been shorted.
9. DS7447/DS7447E - “Zone Trouble”: One of the zones is not
responding to the control panel. This may also be displayed
during power-up (if so, ignore).
Warning Messages:
1. DS7447/DS7447E - “Dirty Chamber”: One of the Multiplex
smoke detectors has failed the sensitivity test and may require
cleaning or replacement.

Caution: Clear the error display only on the advice of your installing
company or if you are certain the problem has been remedied.

display will only clear by the [System Reset] command or the next successful automatic system off normal report
even after the problem has been remedied. All the other error displays will self clear from the keypads once the problem has been remedie

Note: System Faults may be read
from any keypad because they are
system-wide.
All other Error Displays are limited
to the partition the Standard keypad
is in. If you are on a Master keypad,
you may read Error Displays one
partition at a time.
If you want reports to be sent for
these system faults, you must
program Address 0334 to send
System Trouble Reports.
