9.1 Before Turning the Power On
1. To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering
the system from the main AC supply.
2. Check that all modules are installed in the proper location with the proper connections.
3. Check all field (external) wiring for opens, shorts, and ground.
4. Check that all interconnection cables are secure, and that all connectors are plugged in
properly.
5. Check all jumpers and switches for proper setting.
6. Check the AC power wiring for proper connection.
7. Check that the chassis is connected to EARTH GROUND (cold water pipe).
9.2 Power-Up Procedure
1. After completing the above procedures, power up the panel (AC only). The green AC On
LED and the Common Trouble LED should illuminate, and the buzzer should sound.
2. Press the System Reset button. Since the batteries are not connected, the Battery
Trouble LED should illuminate, the trouble buzzer should sound intermittently, and the
Common Trouble LED should flash.
3. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity: the red wire is positive (+) and the
black wire is negative (-). All indicators should extinguish except for the AC On LED and
the LCD should show a normal status condition.
4. Auto-Configure or PC Configure the fire alarm control panel as described in the
configurator software.
9.3 Troubleshooting
Note: When using Class A and isolators on an addressable loop, configure system as
Class B, wire loop as Class A, except do not connect the last device back to the
panel. Do a system checkout. Then connect the return of the Class A circuit and
configure as Class A.

Message Description
Circuit Trouble Normally when a circuit trouble occurs, its designated trouble indicator
will be illuminated, as well as the Common Trouble indicator and
Trouble buzzer. To correct the fault, check for open wiring on that
particular circuit loop or see if the circuit disconnect switch is in the ON
or CLOSED position. Note: disconnecting a circuit will cause a system
trouble (off-normal position).
Ground Fault The FX-2000 panel has a Ground Fault Detector. To correct the fault,
check for any external wiring touching the chassis or other earth ground
connection.
Battery Trouble Check for the presence of batteries and their condition. Low voltage
(below 20.4V) will cause a battery trouble. If battery trouble condition
persists, replace the batteries as soon as possible.
