the error.
b) Replace the battery.
c) Check wiring.
#87 display = Zone Trouble
#87 display = AC Power Failure
Fire Alarm displays “000”.
Fire Trouble, no zone number.
Fire Trouble ____________

a) A zone is not responding to the control
panel.
b) The zone is programmed for “Trouble on

The Fire Alarm was caused by the “A” key.
When in Commercial Fire Mode, a ground
fault causes this display.
Fire zone wiring problems.
A multiplex smoke detector has failed its
internal sensitivity test.
a) Check wiring to the zone.
OR
If the zone is not to be used, remove from
programming.
b) If using Normally Closed contacts, re-program
zone for alarm on open.
OR
If using Normally Open contacts and trouble on
open is desired, check for opens in the loop.
Remove wiring and place an EOL resistor across
the zone to eliminate a problem with the control.
If the trouble goes away, the problem is in the
wiring or in a contact connected to the zone.
a) Plug the transformer in.
b) Check the wiring.
c) Check the circuit and circuit breakers.
d) Replace the transformer.
e) Connect to a circuit that is not controlled this way.
Use the System Reset command to clear the display.
See #87 Ground Fault display for solution.
If you try to disable the zone by reprogramming it,
you need to reset the control by either entering then
