Part 13: User Operation
13.1 Trouble Display
The Spectra system continuously monitors fourteen possible trouble conditions. When a trouble condition occurs, the [TBL] key or
[TRBL] indicator will illuminate on the LED keypads or “Trouble” will appear on the LCD keypad’s screen. Press the [TBL] or [TRBL]
key to switch to the trouble display. The [
TBL] key or [TRBL] indicator will flash and lights corresponding to an existing trouble
condition will illuminate on the LED keypads (see Table 11) or the appropriate trouble message will appear on the LCD keypad.
Press the [
CLEAR] key to exit the trouble display.
Please note that the keypad can be programmed to emit a
BEEP every 5 seconds whenever a new trouble condition has occurred.
Pressing the [
TBL] or [TRBL] key will stop the beeping.
Table 11: Trouble List
LED # Description Details
[1]
No/Low Battery Failure The control panel performs a dynamic battery test under load every 60 seconds.
This trouble indicates that the back up battery is disconnected or that the battery
should be replaced, as it will not provide adequate current in case of AC loss. This
trouble will also appear when the control panel is running on battery power and the
battery voltage has dropped to 10.5V or lower. This means the battery must be
recharged or replaced.
[2]
Wireless Transmitter
Low Battery
The battery voltage of an Magellan wireless transmitter has dropped below
recommended limits. To determine the zones generating the trouble, examine the
Low Battery LED indicators on all the transmitters. The batteries should be
replaced.
[3]
Power Failure Upon power failure, the AC LED on all keypads will turn off. The control panel can
transmit the report code programmed in section [205]. This report code can be
delayed by programming a Power Failure Report Delay in section [086]. The AC
LED turns back on as soon as power is restored.
[4]
Bell Disconnected This trouble occurs when a bell or siren is not connected to the bell output
terminals. If you are not using the
BELL terminals, connect a 1KΩ resistor across
the bell output.
[5]
Maximum Bell Current The BELL output uses a fuseless circuit and will automatically shut down if the
current exceeds 3A. After opening the short or reducing the load, the bell current is
restored upon the following alarm generation. This trouble indicator will only
appear when a condition has occurred that would activate the bell output
(e.g. during an alarm).
[6]
Maximum Auxiliary Current The auxiliary output uses a fuseless circuit to protect the power supply against
current overload and automatically shuts down if the current exceeds 1.1A. After
opening the short or reducing the load, the panel will restore power to the auxiliary
output.
[7]
Communicator Report Fail The control panel has failed all attempts to communicate with the central
monitoring station.
[8]
Timer Loss The control panel’s internal clock must be re-programmed. To re-program the timer
press the [8] key followed by the current time using the 24-hour clock
(i.e. 8:30PM = 20:30).
[9]
Tamper/Zone Wiring Fail If the Tamper Recognition options are enabled (see page 25), this trouble indicates
a wiring problem on one or more zones or that the cover has been removed on one
or more wireless transmitters. To provide line short recognition the zone
connections must have EOL resistors. If you press the [9] key, the keypad will
display which zones are in trouble. Enter the Installer Code to clear Tamper
troubles.
[10]
Telephone Line Monitoring If the Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM) feature is enabled (see section [135]), this
trouble indicates that the control panel has not detected the presence of a
telephone line for 30 seconds.
[
STAY] or
[11]
Fire Loop Trouble Indicates a wiring problem on a fire zone. Press [
STAY] to view the zones that are
generating this trouble.
