To perform a phone communication test:

1. Disarm the system.

Troubleshooting

Your security system uses a variety of different alarm sirens, status beeps, voice messages and

 

trouble beeps to communicate with you. The next few pages describe the different sounds and

 

what they mean. Try to familiarize yourself with the differences. You will hear sounds each time

 

you tell your security system to do something, like arm or disarm. Some sounds you will hear

 

only when there is a problem with the system, like a low battery. There are also sounds you will

 

only hear in an emergency. Getting to know your system sounds allows you to react quickly and

 

appropriately to the messages you hear.

 

Trouble Beeps and Trouble Messages

 

When your system detects a problem, it lets you know by sounding trouble beeps from system

 

touchpads and sirens, and by displaying trouble signals as messages on touchpads.

 

Trouble beeps are a series of five short beeps once a minute.

 

The table on the next page lists the causes of trouble beeps, the visual display you can expect to

 

see, and possible solutions for the trouble condition.

 

Silencing Trouble Beeps

 

If possible, correct the situation which is causing the trouble beeps. If this is not possible, call for

 

service. If the problem is not corrected, trouble beeps and messages start again 4 or 10 hours

 

later.

 

Your security system also has a feature that will prevent trouble beeps from starting during nor-

 

mal sleeping hours. This “sleep time” period is normally set from 10 pm to 8 am. Contact your

 

installer if you wish to verify or change this setting.

To silence trouble beeps:

1.Perform a system status check by pressing * on a touchpad,

2.Change the arming level.

The table on the next page describes the conditions under which trouble beeps occur and when they begin. (These sounds are heard from interior sirens and touchpads if available.)

As a result, operators can expect lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions, ultimately contributing to a cleaner environment.

The Concord 4 utilizes advanced combustor technology that supports a wide range of fuels, including natural gas, biogas, and liquid fuels. This flexibility ensures that operators can adapt to changing market conditions and regulatory environments while maintaining operational efficiency. Furthermore, the turbine's low emissions profile is a critical advantage in today's environmentally conscious landscape, allowing plants to comply with stringent regulatory standards.

Another key characteristic of the GE Concord 4 is its modular design, which simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime. The turbine's key components can be accessed and serviced efficiently, ensuring that power plants can operate continuously without significant interruptions. This design philosophy extends to the overall lifecycle of the turbine, as longer intervals between maintenance contribute to lower operating costs.

The Concord 4 is equipped with advanced digital technologies that enhance performance monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities. Smart sensors and analytics tools provide real-time data on the turbine’s performance, enabling operators to make informed decisions and optimize operations. This digital integration not only improves reliability but also helps in planning maintenance activities more effectively, reducing operational risks.

In summary, the GE Concord 4 gas turbine stands out for its exceptional efficiency, fuel flexibility, and innovative design. Enhanced by digital technologies, it delivers powerful performance while minimizing environmental impact. This combination of features makes it an ideal choice for energy producers looking to meet both economic and environmental goals in an increasingly competitive market. With the Concord 4, GE continues its legacy of engineering excellence in the field of power generation.
