user codes / tags at appropriate keypads / readers.
Check Failed
Input xxx
Input in fault on attempting to
exit Engineer mode.
Applies to 24-hour tamper, or other input types that
would generate an alarm condition if the system were
returned to disarmed mode.
Also applies to tamper fault on other input types.
Check for fault on input, or omit in programming.
Error input
part’ns not
accessible
A input has been programmed
to a partition for which no
arming point is valid to disarm.
It would therefore be impossible to fully disarm the
system after a tamper alarm on that input.
Programming must be adjusted before exiting Engineer
mode.

part’ns cannot
be disarmed
Arming points have been
programmed such that it is
possible to arm a partition, but
not disarm it.
Programming must be adjusted before exiting Engineer
mode.
