Troubleshooting
Introduction
The most common problem in a system with multiple control panels attached is panels
with the same ID number. Each Control Panel must have its own ID number. No
panels may have the same ID number.
Upon start-up the panel lights will randomly flash while the panel receives information
from the router.
In a multi-frame system the control panels must be connected to the “master” frame.
Problem Remedy
No power  Confirm that the external power supply is supplying 9VDC.
Panel Lights Scrolling  “Scrolling” panel lights are an indication of the panel not
communicating with the router. Check the RS-485 cable and
baud rate settings of the panel and the router panel port.
Input Lights Flashing  Check that the destination is locked or you have selected an
invalid source.
