o

  A damaged device that has an internal short circuit, or is taking too much 

current. 

L  o  o  p     1     S  h  o r t   S i d e   B   

The Panel has detected a Short circuit between Loop +ve, and loop –ve, on side B, between 
the control panel and the first short circuit loop isolator. To track down, use the same method 
as above 
 

L  o  o  p     1     C  a  b l e   B r e a k     

 
The Panel has detected a break in the circuit. It might be in the +VE or –VE line. 
 
Enter Configuration menu 2, select Edit Device. Press 1 {enter} 1 {enter} to view address 1. 
 
The panel will report this device as Side A only, or side B only. Press Next until the side 
changes. This will give the address of the device before & after the fault (Note that this only 
works if the devices are numbered sequentially) 
Check all the connections on both these addresses. 
 
The panel will also report a break if  there are 2 loop short circuit isolators active. Look for 
isolators, or sounder flasher isolators with Yellow “isolating” LEDs on. 
 

Device faults 

 
If the panel is showing a device fault, pressing enter will bring up further details about 
the fault:- 

M  i  s  s  i  n  g    

A configured device is no longer answering. Check :- 
 

* 

That the device has not been removed 

* 

That the device`s address has not been changed 

*  

check that there are no short circuit faults on the loop. 

A  -  O  n  l  y       

The device is only being seen on side A of the loop. IE there may be a break 
between side B of the loop and this device. 
 

B  -  O  n  l  y       

The device is only being seen on side B of the loop. IE there may be a break 
between side A of the loop and this device.  
 

2 -  A  d  d  r       

Two devices on the loop have been given the same address. The panel can 
only talk to a single device at an address, so the 2 devices must be given 
different addresses. 
To locate the incorrect device, enter the device status menu. Go to address 1. 
Check that the device seen is correct. Press next to move to the next device. 
If the panel skips an address that SHOULD contain a device, then this will be 
the device with the wrong address.
