Linear DVS-1200 - Manual (Page 23)

21
✦ The DVS-1200 Console is a self-monitoring
supervised wireless system.
✦ If the Console detects a problem with any of the
supervised system sensors or with its power, it
will display the appropriate trouble indication and,
if monitored, report the trouble to the Central
Station through the communicator (depending on
communicator programming).
CONSOLE LOW BATTERY
✦ The Console constantly charges and monitors the
optional backup battery (if installed).
✦ If the backup battery condition is abnormal, the
Console's POWER light will indicate the trouble.
✴ The POWER indicator normally glows when AC power is on.
✴ With a charged backup battery installed, if the Console
looses AC power, the POWER indicator will dim as the
Console runs on the backup battery.
✴ If the backup battery is low, recharging, or not installed, the
POWER indicator blinks when AC power is present.
✴ If the AC power is off and no backup battery is installed, the
POWER indicator will be off (in this case, the system has no
power and is disabled).
✦ Normal battery life for the type of backup battery
used in the Console is 3-4 years. If the battery does
not take a charge in 72 hours, it should be replaced.
SENSOR LOW BATTERIES
✴ If the BATTERIES indicator on the Console blinks, one or
more sensors have a low battery.
1. Press for one second to view sensor status. The
sensor status indicator for any sensor with a low
battery will light along with the BATTERIES indicator.
Any trouble indications will follow during the fi ve
second status cycle.
2. Replace the sensor's battery as described in its
instructions.
3. Switch to Test Mode after replacing the sensor
battery and completely test the system (see Test
Mode). Switching to Test Mode clears the low
battery indication.
SENSOR RADIO TROUBLE
✴ When the TROUBLE indicator blinks, one or more sensors
have not reported status during the eight hour status time
window.
1. Press for one second to view sensor status.
The sensor status indicator for any sensor that has
not reported in will light along with the TROUBLE
indicator. Any low battery indications will follow
during the fi ve second status cycle.
2. Switch to Test Mode after servicing the sensor and
completely test the system (see Test Mode). Switching
to Test Mode clears the trouble indication.
