Trouble Cause Troubleshooting
Trouble [5] Zone Fault (Cont.)
One or more wireless devices have not
checked in within the programmed time
If the trouble occurs immediately, a conflict with a hard wired
zone exists:
The zone being used is already assigned to a PC5108 zone
expander
The zone being used is assigned as a keypad zone
Perform a Module Placement Test – Program Section [904] and
verify the wireless device is in a good location.
If bad test results occur, test the wireless device in another
location
If the wireless device now tests good, the original mounting
location is bad
If the wireless device continues to give bad test results
replace the wireless device
A short circuit is present on one or more
zones with double end-of-line resistors
enabled
Remove the wire leads from Z and COM terminals and measure
the resistance of the wire leads.
A short circuit indicates a short in the wiring.
Connect a 5.6K resistor (Green, Blue, Red) across the Z and
COM terminals.
Verify the trouble condition clears.
Trouble [6] Zone Tamper Press [6] to determine specific zones with a tamper trouble
A tamper condition is present on one or
more wireless devices
Perform a Module Placement Test –Section [904]
Violate, then restore the tamper:
If no test result then replace wireless device
An open circuit is present on one or more
zones with double end-of-line resistors
enabled
Remove the wire leads from Z and COM terminals.
Measure the resistance of the wire leads.
Open circuit indicates a break in the wiring.
Connect a 5.6K resistor (Green, Blue, Red) across the Z and
COM terminals.
Verify the trouble condition clears.
