Quick Reference Guide
If a device connected to the PCX is not installed correctly or
lost communication with the panel, “DEVICE FAIL” will be
shown on the LCD keypad followed by a 3-figure device code.
The first digit identifies each type of device:
The digits after refer to that devices address, for example:
DEVICE FAIL 401 = Means that the Remote Input Expander
addressed as 01 has a problem. Check the connections
DEVICE FAIL 202 = Means that the LCD keypad addressed
as 02 has a problem. Check the connections.
DIGI COM FAIL 100: Call to ARC failed. Check all ARC call
details and signalling formats.
MODEM FAULT: System unable to communicate with digi
modem card. Check that it is installed properly (power
system down before removing it/installing it).

LINE FAULT: Line fault signalled by digi modem card,
check voltage across A and B terminals (50V). Check line
dials out OK with a normal telephone.
ERROR INPUT PARTITION NOT ACCESSIBLE: An input
has been programmed to a partition for which no arming
point is valid to disarm.
ENGINEER MODE ACCESS DENIED: Means that a
partition is armed on the system or a fault hasn’t been
cleared. Make sure you clear the fault or disarm the
partition on the corresponding keypad.

In the Engineers Menu, Press m until you reach
‘DIAGNOSTICS’. Press l key.
‘View PSU’s’ will be displayed.
This displays the voltages and
current for the Endstation,
RIXs, ROXs, Keypads and
Readers. Press l if you wish to view this, or press
m for the next option.
‘View Inputs’ will be displayed.
This displays the resistence values for each input on the
Endstation, RIXs, Keypads and Readers.
Press l if you wish to view this:
‘Endstation Inputs’ will be
displayed, press l key.
“cccccccc” should be
displayed if all inputs are
closed. (c = closed. o = open. F = fault (input not reading
correctly))
Press l again to view the
resistance reading of each
input.
Press m to scroll to RIX, Keypad, or Reader inputs.
‘Calibration’ will be displayed. Press m.
You will be returned to Engineers Menu.
In the Engineers Menu, Press m until you reach
‘ENGINEER TESTS’. Press l. Select a sound using the
© key to play when a test has been accepted. Press l.
‘Walk Test’ will be displayed. Press l and select the
partitions to be walk tested. Press l. The inputs will be
displayed until they have been walk tested,‘Walk Test
Complete’ will be shown once all completed. Press l.
‘Test Control’ will be displayed, this can be used to soak
test inputs for a number of days. Press l for this function
or m for thenext option.
‘Test Bell’ will be displayed. This will test both the strobe
and bell outputs. Press l for this or m for the next option.
‘Battery Load Test’ will be displayed. To perform a battery
load test press l or m for the next option.
‘Test PGM’s’ will test any PGM output on the system. This
can be used for testing signals to the central station (both
the ATE pins and Digi channels are programmed from
PGM outputs).Press l.
Enter the PGM number you would like to test (see below)
or use the { and } arrow keys to scroll through them.
Press l to test that output. Press m to cancel.Press m.
