READING ALARM MEMORY AND TROUBLE DATA
D-303974 PowerMaxExpress User's Guide 13
 Communication failure - A message could not
be sent to the central monitoring station or to a
private telephone (or a message was sent but
was not acknowledged).
 CPU low battery - The backup battery within
the control panel is weak and must be replaced
(see Chapter 7 - Replacing Backup Battery).
 CPU tamper - The control panel is being
tampered with.
 Fuse Trouble - The siren fuse is burnt out.
 Line Failure – There is a problem with the
telephone line
IMPORTANT! If the trouble beeps bother you, disarm
the system again (even though it is already disarmed).
This will cancel the trouble beeps for 4 hours.
B. Investigating Trouble Sources
In a state of trouble, a flashing TRBL message is
displayed as shown in the following examples:
READY HH:MM
(alternating)
READY TRBL
or, if the system is not ready for arming -
NOT READY HH:MM
(alternating)
NOT READY TRBL
You can review the current troubles one by one, by
clicking the
OK
I
button.
EXAMPLE: The kitchen sensor - zone No. 9 in
partition 3 - has been inactive and the living room
sensor - zone No. 15 in partition 3 - has reported a
low battery. However, these troubles do not prevent
the system from being “ready to arm”.
To investigate the source of trouble, proceed as
follows:
PRESS
RESULTANT DISPLAY
OK
I
READY HH:MM
OK
I
Z09 INACTIVE
(alternating)
KITCHEN
OK
I
Z15 LOW BATT
(alternating)
LIVING ROOM

READY HH.MM
In response to further clicking of
OK
I
, the
display will show details of other troubles (if any), or
will revert to the initial alternating displays (see
example above).
Reviewing Memory & Troubles at
the Same Time
If alarms / tamper events are retained in the alarm
memory and at the same time a state of trouble
exists, the display will behave as shown below for
partition 1:
READY HH:MM
(alternating)
READY MEMORY
(alternating)
READY TRBL
or, if the system is not ready for arming -
NOT READY HH:MM
(alternating)
NOT READY MEMORY
(alternating)
NOT READY TRBL
To read status information - memory data, open zones
and trouble sources (in this order) - click the
OK
I
button repeatedly. The memory content will be
displayed first, in the same manner shown in Chapter
5 - Reviewing Alarm / Tamper Memory. If the system
is not ready, open zone information will follow in the
same manner as shown in Chapter 2 - Preparing to
Arm. Trouble sources will be displayed last, in the
same manner shown in Chapter 3 - Reviewing
Trouble Information.
Correcting Trouble Situations
The trouble indications (illuminated TROUBLE
indicator and flashing TRBL message) are cleared
once you eliminate the cause for trouble. If you do
not know how to cope with a trouble situation,
report it to your installer and seek his advice.
INACTIVITY: Once an inactive wireless device
renews its periodical transmissions, the inactivity
trouble no longer exists and will no longer be
indicated by the control panel.
LOW BATTERY: Upon replacing the battery in a
wireless sensor in a keyfob or in a wireless
commander that reported a low battery, the next
transmission made by the relevant sensor will include
a “battery restored” message, and “low battery” will no
longer be indicated by the control panel.
SYSTEM TROUBLE: Correction of any one of the
system troubles is automatically sensed by the control
panel, and the trouble indication is cleared accordingly.
