GE 60-960-95 installation instructions System doesn’t go into alarm when zone is tripped

Feature

Problem Action/Solution

1.Check for correct wiring at speaker and panel terminals; correct where necessary.

2.Speaker output has shut down because panel detected terminal 7 or 8 is shorted to ground. Disconnect panel AC and battery backup power. Locate short and correct. Apply panel AC and backup battery power and retest.

3.Alarm is in partition 2 and speaker is connected to panel terminals 7 and 8, which activate only for partition 1 alarms.

Sirens

Piezo sirens connected to SnapCard, or onboard (panel) outputs 1 and/or 2 don’t produce any alarm sounds.

1.Check for incorrect wiring between siren and panel; correct where necessary.

2.Output has not been configured (set up) to activate sirens. Enter program mode and configure output (see ACCESSORY MODULES—BUSDEVICES—SNAP CARD, or ONBOARD OPTIONS— OUTPUT 1, 2 in the “Programming” section).

Supervised Wireless Sirens

Sirens don’t produce any sounds and LED doesn’t respond.

1.Check to make sure siren is not plugged into an outlet controlled by a switch. Move siren to a nonswitched outlet location and test.

2.Panel is not powered by a power line carrier transformer. Replace existing transformer with a power line carrier transformer.

3.Power transformer and sirens are not plugged into outlets on the same electrical phase. Relocate sirens at different outlets to determine working locations.

4.Siren is programmed with incorrect partition house code. Clear siren house code by pressing and holding siren button for 20 seconds. Reprogram with correct partition house code and retest. See “Installing Supervised Wireless Sirens” (60-736-95) for more information.

5.Siren house code is not programmed into panel. Enter program mode and set SWS and parti- tion house codes.

Siren only works part of the time and/or at odd, irregular intervals.

Check that siren and/or panel transformer is not plugged into an outlet shared with a major appli- ance, television, or computer which may generate noise and degrade the line carrier signal.

Hardwire Zones

System doesn’t go into alarm when zone is tripped.

1.System is disarmed. Arm system and then trip the zone.

2.Zone is not learned into panel memory. Enter installer/dealer program mode—LEARN SENSORS, and learn zone into memory.

3.Zone is learned into wrong partition. Delete zone and learn into correct partition or change the partition in the EDIT SENSORS menu.

4.For HIM zones, check that the HIM LED is blinking to verify communication with the panel. If LED is off, check wiring between HIM and panel.

Zone reports trouble condition.

1.Check that onboard HIM and SnapCard zone inputs have a 2k-ohm EOL resistor installed at the last device on the loop in series for N/C loops, in parallel for N/O loops.

2.Check for zone wire fault—short circuit on N/C loops, open circuit on N/O loops.

3.Make sure all devices on zone are in non-alarm state. Enter disarm command to reset zone.

Wireless Sensor Zones

System doesn’t respond (in sensor test or when armed) when sensor is tripped.

1.Verify that receiver antennas are installed and connections are secure.

2.Check that the wireless sensor battery(s) are installed.

3.Check the sensor battery(s) for low voltage. Replace battery(s) if necessary.

4.Use an RF Sniffer (60-401) to verify that sensor is transmitting.

5.Sensor is not learned into panel memory. Enter installer/dealer program mode—LEARN SEN- SORS, and learn sensor into memory.

6.Zone is learned into wrong partition. Delete zone and learn into correct partition or change the partition in the EDIT SENSORS menu.

Sensor reports trouble condition.

1.Sensor tamper switch is tripped—sensor cover is off, not latched securely, or sensor is not mounted securely. Secure sensor mounting and/or cover. Trip sensor to clear the condition.

2.Check the sensor battery for low voltage. Replace batteries, if necessary.
