18.1 Diagnostics Function
The XR200-485/485B panel contains a Diagnostics function that allows LX-Bus™ communication integrity
testing, identies individual zones, and displays the present state of any zone. To use Diagnostics, reset
the panel, enter the Diagnostics code 2313 (DIAG), and press COMMAND.
Test LX-Bus
The rst Diagnostic function you see displayed is: TEST LX-BUS. This function allows you to test the ability
of the 462N, 462P, 462FM, 472, and 481 Interface Cards to communicate with zone and output expander
modules connected to their LX-Bus circuits.
To continue, press any top row Select key. The keypad displays LX-BUS 1 2. Press the Select key under 1
to test LX-Bus circuit number 1. Press the Select key under 2 to test LX-Bus circuit number 2. The keypad
now displays ADDRESS: - . Enter a 2-digit LX-Bus device address and press COMMAND. When testing LX-Bus
devices, enter only the addresses to which the modules have been set.
Important Note: A device address is not the same as a zone number. If you are testing 714 or 715 Zone
Expander Modules, which each contain four zones, the device address is the rst zone number. When the
panel polls a 714 on the LX-Bus, it recognizes it as a four zone device and does not poll the remaining three
zones. The 714 module internally polls the remaining zones and transmits any status changes to the panel.
This greatly reduces the amount of time it takes the panel to poll all LX-Bus devices.
The keypad next displays TESTING . . . STOP during the device testing. At any time, you can press the
Select key under STOP to end the polling. The panel records the number of no responses from the device.
If all polls are received back by the panel correctly, the keypad displays 00000/65535 FAIL.
If one or more polling attempts fail, the keypad displays * * * * */65535 FAIL with the * representing the
number of failed polling attempts. A display of 65535/65535 FAIL indicates a problem with the interface
card or its LX-Bus wiring such as a bad or broken wire, harness not properly connected, or excessive noise
or distance. It can also mean that a zone number was entered that did not match a device address. Press
the Back Arrow key to enter a new device address or press COMMAND to exit the TEST LX-BUS.
Zone Finder
The second Diagnostic function is the Zone Finder. Press the COMMAND to display ZONE FINDER. This
function allows you to identify individual zones on devices connected to the interface card LX-Bus, the
panel, or any zones on the keypad data bus. To use ZONE FINDER, press any top row Select key. The
display changes to FAULT ZONE. The next zone on the system that changes from a normal to an open or
shorted state is displayed as ZONE NO: * * *. To continue, press the Back Arrow key.
Zone State
Press the COMMAND key to display the third Diagnostic function: ZONE STATE. This function allows you to
enter any zone number and check its current state (Normal, Open, or Shorted). Press any Select key. The
display changes to ZONE NUMBER: _ . Enter the zone number you want to check and press COMMAND. The
panel then displays the current state of the zone as either NRML (normal), OPEN, or SHORT.
Note: Inovonics Wireless zones states are as follows:
• OPEN: Transmitter tamper header or receiver problem, or a transmitter is not learned into the system.
• NRML: Wireless zones are OK.
• SHORT: A zone is tripped or a transmitter is programmed incorrectly: Be sure that the NORMALLY
OPEN programming option is correctly set to YES or NO, depending upon how the transmitter is used.
NORMALLY OPEN is in Zone Information > Wireless Options.
LX-Bus Status
The fourth Diagnostic function is the LX-BUS STATUS. This function allows the panel to poll all devices
connected to the LX-Bus of an interface card and check for any Overlapped, Missing, or Extra addresses.
Below is a description of each status item:
