Troubleshooting

Trouble [1] Service Required

Press [1] to determine specific trouble

[1] Low Battery

Main panel battery less than 11 V

DC

NOTE: This trouble condition will not
clear until the battery voltage is
12.5V

DC

min., under load.

NOTE: If battery is new allow 1 Hr. for battery to charge.

Verify voltage measured across AC terminals is
16-18 V

AC

. Replace transformer if required.

Disconnect battery wire leads
• Verify battery charging voltage measured across bat-

tery leads = 13.70 - 13.80 V

DC

.

Connect battery, remove AC power
• Verify measured voltage across battery terminals is

12.5V

DC

min.

[2] Bell Circuit

Bell+, Bell-...Open Circuit

Disconnect Bell-/Bell+ wire leads, measure resistance
of wire leads.
• Open circuit indicates break in wiring or defective

siren/bell

Jumper Bell+, Bell- with 1K resistor (Brown, Black, Red)
• Verify trouble clears

[3] General System Trouble

PC5204 Output#1 Open Circuit

If Output#1 is unused: Ensure that terminals O1, AUX
are jumpered with 1K resistor (Brown, Black, Red)

If Output #1 is used: Disconnect wire leads from O1,
AUX terminals, measure the resistance of the wire leads
• Open circuit indicates a break in the wiring

PC5204 AUX

Verify voltage measured across AC input terminals is
16-18V

AC

.

Disconnect all connections to PC5204 AUX terminal.
• Verify AUX voltage is 13.70 - 13.80 V

DC

.

Printer connected to PC5400 offline

Verify printer operation (out of paper, paper jam etc.)

T-Link Network Fault present
T-Link Receiver Trouble present
T-Link Interface Trouble present

Refer to the T-Link TL250/350 Installation Manual for details.

[4] General System Tamper

Tamper input on module(s) open
circuit

Short tamper terminal to COM terminal on unused modules
connected to KEYBUS (PC5100, PC5108, PC5200,
PC5204, PC5208, PC5320, PC5400, PC5700).

Wireless Receiver - excessive noise
detected

Check for external 433MHZ signal sources
To disable RF Jam: enable Option [7] in program section
[804] subsection [90].

[5] Module Supervision

Panel does not communicate with
module(s) on KEYBUS

Keypad assigned to incorrect slot.

Modules are immediately enrolled and supervised when
detected on the KEYBUS. If a module has been removed, or
if the slot assignment of a keypad has been changed, mod-
ule supervision must be reset.

View the event buffer (via DLS or LCD5500 keypad) to
identify the specific module(s) in trouble

To reset module supervision:
• Enter Program Section [902].
• Press [#] (wait 1 minute for panel to scan KEYBUS).

Enter Program Section [903] to identify modules
connected to KEYBUS.

[6] RF Jam Detected

Wireless Receiver - excessive noise
detected.

Check for external 433MHZ signal sources
To disable RF Jam: enable Option [7] in program section
[804] subsection [90].

[7] PC5204 Low Battery

PC5204 battery less than 11.5V

DC

NOTE: This trouble condition will not
clear until the battery voltage is
12.5V

DC

min., under load.

See [1] Low Battery above

[8] PC5204 AC Failure

No AC at PC5204 AC inputs

Verify voltage measured across AC terminals is 16-18V

AC

.

Replace transformer if required.
