programming is completed and whenever a touch screen
related problem occurs.
To verify communication between the panel and the touch
screen, exit programming mode and then press the System
Status icon on the touch screen. The touch screen should
announce the correct system status.
To relocate the touch screen:
1. Test the touch screen a few inches from the original
position.
2. Increase the distance from the original position. Retest
until an acceptable location is found.
3. Mount the touch screen in the new location (see Figure 1
on page 4).
Note: If you cannot get the touch screen to trip, test a known
good touch screen at the same location. If the replacement
touch screen functions, contact UTC Fire & Security for repair
or replacement of the faulty touch screen.
To mount the touch screen:
1. Remove the touch screen from the mounting base by
inserting a small screwdriver into the slot on the bottom of
the touch screen (see Figure 1 on page 4).
2. Hold the base on the wall at the mounting location and
mark the mounting holes, antenna drop, and power drop.
3. Drill 1/8 inch holes into the wall for plastic anchors at the
mounting hole locations. Cut both the antenna and power
wire drop openings to the size of the opening in the base.
4. Push the two plastic anchors into the drilled holes and
tighten screws within a ¼ inch of the anchors.
5. Feed the power supply plug through the power wire
opening.
6. Hang the base over the screws, level, and tighten the
screws.
7. Load four AAA batteries into the battery compartment on
the back of the touch screen.
8. Plug the power into the back of the touch screen, and
secure the power wire to the loop with the tie wrap
provided.
9. Feed the antenna wire from the back of the touch screen
through the rectangular wire drop opening in the wall.
10. Angle the top of the touch screen into the hooks on the top
of the base. Start feeding the power cable through the wire
drop, and swing the bottom of the touch screen into the
lower part of the base until you hear it click.
11. When choosing the AC outlet for the power supply, make
sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch.
Note: If necessary, use a soft cloth to clear smudges on the
screen; do not use glass cleaner on the screen.
