Troubleshooting
Message Description
Circuit Trouble
Normally when a circuit trouble occurs, its designated trouble indicator will be illuminated, as well as the Common
Trouble indicator and Trouble buzzer. To correct the fault, check for open wiring on that particular circuit loop or see
if the circuit disconnect switch is in the ON or CLOSED position. Note: disconnecting a circuit will cause a system
trouble (off-normal position).
Remote Fail
The panel will display a Remote Fail for any failure reported by or failure to communicate with a remote
annunciator or other remote device.
Ground Fault
The FA-1000 panel has a Common Ground Fault Detector. To correct the fault, check for any external wiring
touching the chassis or other earth ground connection.
Battery/Charger Trouble
Check for the presence of batteries and their conditions. Low voltage (below 20.4V) will cause a battery trouble. If
battery/charger trouble condition persists, replace the batteries as soon as possible. If the problem still persists,
main board may need to be replaced.
Configuration Mode
If the Test/Config Mode LED is illuminated steadily, the system is in either configuration mode or walk test mode. If
the LED is flashing, the configuration has been corrupted and has been reset to defaults; you must therefore
review / re-enter your configuration.
Common Trouble
If only a common trouble is indicated on the main panel and none of the above confirming trouble indicators are on,
then check the following for possible fault:
i) Check for any missing interconnection wiring.
ii) Check for any missing modules that are part of the configuration.
iii) Check jumper positions. Particularly ensure that the continuity jumper is installed only
on the last circuit adder module in the system.
iv) Check for improperly secured cabling.
CPU Fault
This LED will only illuminate for a short period upon power up when system is normal.It will illuminate steadily
when there has been a major CPU failure. This indicates the system is not functioning and main board must be
replaced
