tinue to flash. The dialer will
continue to dial until all numbers
have been dialed.
ALARM CANCEL
At any time, you can silence
your alarm system by pressing the
SECURITY-OFF key and entering your
code. If the system has reported,
or is in the process of reporting
an alarm to a central station, it
will send the alarm code followed
by a code indicating that the alarm
has been canceled by the user.
If an alarm is canceled before
the dial out delay has expired, the
system will not report any alarm.
If an alarm is canceled during a
voice dial out, the system hangs up
immediately, unless the recipient
of the call has entered a master or
access code.
TROUBLE INDICATIONS
The Model 1503 constantly moni-
tors the alarm loops and several
internal matters and will alert you
if it detects trouble. The particu-
lar trouble is indicated on the
bottom line of the display and a
trouble signal is given by beeping
the console beeper continuously, 2
beeps per second.
When any trouble condition oc-
curs, the console will beep twice
per second and continue to beep
until the CANCEL button is pressed
to acknowledge the trouble. The
console will say TRBL NOW (trouble
now) if the trouble condition actu-
ally exists while you are looking
at the console. It will say HAD
TRBL (had trouble) if the trouble
condition occurred and then cor-
rected itself.
The trouble indications and
their meanings are shown below.
- ZONE NAME TRBL NOW or HAD TRBL:
If the reading for a zone be-
comes abnormal, trouble will be
indicated on that zone. See SHOW
TEST. Trouble in zones is usu-
ally caused by excessive resis-
tance in the contact and wiring.
If the cause is not obvious,
call your installer for service.
- AC POWER OFF TRBL NOW or HAD
TRBL: Indicated if the normal
house current powering the Model
1503 Control/Communicator is
interrupted for more than 3 min-
utes. If this happens without
good cause, check the black wall
mounted transformer to ensure
that it hasn’t come out of the
wall socket; check to see that
the socket has power; check the
fuse on the Model 1503 Termina-
tion Board in the Model 1503
Control/Communicator to be sure
that it is good.
- BATTERY LOW TRBL NOW or HAD
TRBL: Every hour, the Model 1503
makes a dynamic test of the bat-
tery. The charger is turned off
and a load is placed on the bat-
tery for 10 seconds, then the
battery voltage is read. If the
battery voltage is too low, then
the console will indicate BAT-
TERY LOW. If this happens, make
sure that the battery is con-
