Fault codes in this document
Upgrading an Existing Configuration
| Code / display | Meaning | Cause | Action | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Panel reports the existing configuration is an incompatible version | Non-matching configuration – panel repeatedly restarts | Configuration does not match the Panel Exec firmware installed (e.g., panel Exec firmware was updated and the configuration was not upgraded with the compatible programmer version) | The upgraded version of the configuration must be downloaded before normal operation will resume | 17 |
AS1668 Fan Faults
| Code / display | Meaning | Cause | Action | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amber "FLT" LED ON | Mechanical Services Board fault | The Mechanical Services Board sends a fault (e.g., mains failure) to the Multi-Point I/O; the Multi-Point I/O sends the fault condition to the panel | 74 | |
| Amber Fault LED ON | AS1668 Fan Start Failure | Panel sent a control to close the relay that controls the fan to start (e.g., as result of Manual start or auto start) but the air flow sensor in the duct did not send the panel an indication that the air flow is ON; indicated after a programmable delay to allow the fan to speed up | 74 | |
| Amber Fault LED ON | AS1668 Fan Stop Failure | Panel sent a control to open the relay that controls the fan to stop but the air flow sensor in the duct did not send the panel an indication via the Multi-Point I/O that the air flow is OFF; indicated after a programmable delay to allow the fan to slow down | 74 | |
| FAN #1 FAULT | Fan fault trouble point (P1265, point type TROUBLE) that drives the amber fault LED | Sets when the fan control relay is set to operate the fan but the airflow indicator does not report that air is flowing; when the fan control relay is set to stop the fan but the airflow indicator reports that air is flowing; or when a fault signal is received from the Mechanical Services Board (after the FAN FAULT DELAY timer/setpoint) | 82 |
System Digital Pseudo Points
| Code / display | Meaning | Cause | Action | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P132 ANALOG SENSOR ALMOST DIRTY LOG ENABLE | Trouble point. When activated, lowers the dirty threshold by 10 analog units so any analog sensors approaching the dirty threshold report as dirty to the historical trouble log (for Field Service use) | Must be logged in at Level 3 to force system pseudo points on or off | 118 | |
| P214 Clear Alarm Verification Tallies (Trouble) | When activated, clears all alarm verification tallies in the local panel; the Alarm Verification Tally Limit Exceeded trouble point is cleared by this point | Activate P214 (must be logged in at Level 3 to force system pseudo points on or off) | 118 | |
| P248 EARTH FAULT LATCH ENABLE | Trouble point that is turned on when earth fault latching is enabled | User enables earth fault latching from the diagnostic menu | This pseudo point should not be directly controlled by Custom Control equations | 118 |
| P447 IDNET DUPLICATE SEARCH ACTIVE | Trouble pseudo that is ON when IDNet Duplicate Search is activated | IDNet Duplicate Search activated | 118 | |
| P448 IDNET WEAK SEARCH ACTIVE | Trouble pseudo that is ON when IDNet Weak Search is activated | IDNet Weak Search activated | 118 | |
| P478 Inhibit Device Troubles while Disabled (V12.06) | If this point is on, device level troubles (e.g., head missing, no answer, wrong type) are inhibited when the point is disabled; if the pseudo is off, those troubles will report even if a point is disabled | Turned ON after reboot by CC Equation 3-7 | 118 | |
| P482 RECURRING TROUBLE FILTERING ACTIVE | Trouble point the master activates whenever the algorithm to filter recurring runaway device troubles has been activated | Recurring trouble filtering set on the Systems Option Page in the ES Programmer (default is 0) | 118 | |
| P484 INSTALL MODE ACTIVE | Trouble point the master activates whenever a point is in Install Mode | A point is in Install Mode | This trouble will clear when there are no points in Install Mode | 119 |
| P480 COMPACT FLASH MISSING/ FAILED | Trouble point the master activates when the Compact Flash is missing or failed | Compact flash removed, or is full or cannot be read | Fitting a new compact flash in the CPU will clear this trouble | 119 |
| P499 FIRMWARE NEEDS UPDATE | Trouble point the master activates when the firmware needs update | Incompatible Firmware version or corrupted .BIN file | Reload the firmware with the IP File Transfer utility using the Download config and all execs option, or use the History/Undo tab to restore to factory default | 119 |
System Analog Pseudo Points
| Code / display | Meaning | Cause | Action | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A98 BATTERY TROUBLE COUNTER | Stores the number of times a Battery Fault has been detected since last reboot | 119 | ||
| A99 AC POWER FAIL COUNTER | Stores the number of times a Mains Fail Fault has been detected since last reboot | 119 | ||
| A112 GROUND TROUBLE COUNTER | Stores the number of times an Earth Fault has been detected since last reboot | 120 | ||
| A115 EXCESSIVELY DIRTY (OUT OF RANGE) | Stores the number of Excessively Dirty detectors | 120 | ||
| A116 DIRTY SENSOR COUNTER | Stores the number of Dirty detectors | 120 | ||
| A117 ALMOST DIRTY COUNTER | Stores the number of Almost Dirty detectors | 120 |
