11. SYSTEM TROUBLE INDICATIONS
✦The DUAL 824P Control Panel is a self- monitoring supervised wireless system. If the Control Panel 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).
CONTROL PANEL POWER
✦The Control Panel constantly charges and monitors the optional backup battery (if installed).
✴The POWER indicator normally glows when AC power is on.
✦If the Control Panel’s power condition is abnormal, the keypad's TROUBLE indicator will light. The POWER light will indicate the type of trouble.
✴With a charged backup battery installed, if the Control Panel looses AC power, the POWER indicator will blink as the Control Panel 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, or the battery fuse is blown, the POWER indicator will be off (in this case, the system has no power, all indicators are dark, and the system is disabled).
✦Normal battery life for the type of backup battery used in the Control Panel is
WIRELESS SENSOR LOW BATTERIES
✴If the TROUBLE indicator lights, and the BATTERIES indicator is blinking, one or more wireless sensors have a low battery.
