Trouble Indication Trouble Symptom Possible Solutions
Lost: <Handset Name>
(Handset)
1) Display indicates communication
has been lost to the Handset
2) Trouble beep
A handset may have been removed from the system after installation. Removal
could mean the battery has been removed from the handset. Verify that the battery
is connected.
The handset could have been moved out of range from the system. Bring the Handset
back in range.
A structural change (interference) in the home may have changed the wireless pattern
resulting in the Handset being lost. If this interference is unavoidable, move the
Handset to a new location.
Lost: <Grid Controller
Name>
(Grid Controller) (GC)
1) Display indicates communication
has been lost to the Grid Controller
2) Trouble beep
A GC may have been removed from the system after installation. Removal could mean
no power is applied to the GC or the GC has been moved out of range of the system.
Verify that the GC has power applied through the battery or electrical outlet. If not,
apply power. If you have lost power to your home, the battery should maintain a GC
connection for up to 24 hours.
Verify that the GC is within range of the system. If not, move the GC within range.
A structural change (interference) in the home may have changed the wireless pattern,
resulting in the GC being lost. If this interference is unavoidable, then move the GC to a
new location or add an additional GC to your system.
Lost: <Sensor Name>
(Sensor)
1) Display indicates communication
has been lost to a Sensor
2) Trouble beep
A Sensor may have been removed from the system after installation. Removal could
mean no power is applied to the Sensor (battery dead) or the Sensor and GC have
been moved out of range of each other.
Verify that the Sensor battery is still good by replacing it.
Verify that the GC has not been moved. It is possible that one or more GCs have been
moved and that the Sensor is no longer in the GC coverage range. Move the GC back
within range or add another GC to your system.
A structural change (interference) in the home may have changed the wireless pattern
resulting in the GC and Sensor not being within range of each other. If this interference
is unavoidable, then either move the GC to a new location or add an additional GC to
your system.
