Diagnostics > [ ZONE FINDER ]

The second Diagnostic function is the Zone Finder.

Press COMMAND to display [ ZONE FINDER ]. This function allows you to identify

individual zones on devices connected to the LX-Bus of an interface card, the panel, or

any zones on the keypad data bus.

To use ZONE FINDER, press any Select key. The display changes to [ FAULT ZONE ].

The next zone on the system that changes from a normal state to an OPEN or SHORT

state is displayed as [ ZONE NO: * * * ]. This remains in the display until another zone

changes state.

To continue, press the Back Arrow key.

Diagnostics > [ ZONE STATE ]

This Diagnostics function allows you to enter any zone number and check its current

electrical state (Normal, Open, or Shorted).

At the [ ZONE STATE ] display, press any Select key. The display changes to [ ZONE

NUMBER:- ]. Enter in the zone number you want to check and press COMMAND.

The panel displays the zone name (first ten characters only) and the current electrical

state of the zone as NORML (normal), OPEN, or SHORT. Example: [FRONT DOOR-

NORML].

When the state of the zone changes, the display also changes to reflect the change.

The ZONE STATE feature is a much better way to troubleshoot zone problems than the

Zone Status function in the User Menu because the ZONE STATE display remains until you

exit back into the Diagnostics menu.
