SYSTEM TROUBLE ALERTS
The system continually polls wired sensors, wireless
sensors and the Control Panel itself to ensure optimal
operating conditions at all times. If trouble is detected, the
system alerts you.
The system monitors the following conditions among
others:
● AC power to the Control Panel
● The cell telephone connection (if used)
● The Control Panel's backup battery
● The Sensor batteries
● Sensor supervisory status (if used)
● External sounder connection
● Sensor radio reception and sensor tampering
(sensor's case opened) when disarmed
● Control Panel tampering (panel's case opening) when
disarmed (optional)
● Communication to the Central Station. You have the
option to have any or all trouble conditions reported
to the Central Station. If a trouble condition exists,
service your system immediately to ensure no lapse in
service or protection.
TROUBLE ALERT ICON
If the system detects trouble, it flashes the trouble Alert
icon on the Security screen and sounds 6 alert beeps
every minute. Scrolling text along the top of the display also
describes the trouble condition.
The trouble Alert
icon displays a number in the upper
right corner that shows the number of current trouble alerts.
The trouble Alert
icon flashes until the trouble alerts
are acknowledged, then it remains constantly lit until all the
troubles are corrected. When all troubles are corrected, the
icon disappears completely.

TROUBLE ALERT BEEP HOLD-OFF
During the installation, as an option, the system can be
programmed by your installer to suppress the trouble alert
sounder from 10 pm to 9 am. Any trouble alerts will still be
displayed and reported (if enabled), but the sounder does
not beep during nighttime hours. Some trouble conditions
may clear automatically while other trouble conditions may
require service to correct. If a trouble condition still exists
after 9 am, the sounder beeps to indicate trouble.
NOTE: Regardless of whether the trouble alert sounder
is suppressed or not, every trouble condition is always
displayed on the trouble alert list and recorded in the
system history event log.
