Basic System Troubleshooting

If you have no "READY" light on  your system:

  • At a keypad, determine which zone is open.
  • Check all doors and windows on that zone to ensure that they are all closed.
  • If the problem persists, Bypass the faulty zone and arm your system.
  • Call for repair or service

If your system is beeping:

  • Check for any trouble indication at your keypad.
  • Follow the instructions in your user manual to correct the problem, or silence the trouble sound
  • Call for repairs if necessary

If there is no indication of trouble at the keypad and the beeping sound does not come from the keypad:

  • Check whether the sound is issuing from the smoke detectors installed by your homebuilder.
  • The batteries in these detectors should be changed annually.
  • Smoke detectors on your alarm system are powered by the alarm system and do not contain batteries.       

Emergency Shutdown Procedure

If you are unable to disarm or silence your alarm,  you must shut off all power to the system.

  • First disconnect the electrical power to the system by unplugging the transformer from the electrical outlet.  This may require a small flat tip screwdriver.
  • Next, disconnect one of the leads to the battery.  The battery is inside the alarm control panel enclosure.  This may require a key to unlock the enclosure or a screwdriver to free the enclosure door.
  • Ensure that you know where the transformer powering the alarm system and the alarm system enclosure are located now, before you need to do anything.  Ensure that you know the location of any required screwdrivers or keys before you need them.
