Alarm Fault Code

[KB RED]

Hi I have an Optima/Accenta and in the last few days the alarm has just started going off for now reason (at midnight but at 3am yesterday).

 

i have 8 zones and the panel reads like this after it has been reset

 

12345678  TP

F0000000  00

 

Would really appreciate some help and advice.

Hi,

 

The display is showing zone 1 as currently open, so if this is what the displayed showed when you disarmed it I so would suggest its an issue with zone 1.

Have a look at the detector that is zone 1, does there appear to be any damage to it or the cable that goes it it? 

Obviously speculating here & would need to be checked out properly but very possibly a faulty detector and or cable ..

Is zone 1 a door contact?

Can you not scroll through the "log" to see what activates at night? 

 

Or perhaps system battery

 

Or as you say zone fault

Wow - thanks for fast replies!  

 

Ok - when it went of I just put in the code to I set.  Saw that error message and then pressed reset and the message then went and the display said 'system unset'

 

i will check out the pir and the cable (the battery was changed 2 years ago)

 

i will now check the log and see what that says and get back on here with the report.  Thanks

Or is zone one the PIR adjacent the keypad and picking them up?

I was going to say, 'fault' is stretching it a bit far as I assume all these range of panels are global tamper only*, so 'open (for whatever reason)' seems a more appropriate comment to make.

 

*There was one, single, rareish, Optima that supported EOL though wasn't there?

That don't make sense , you mean you have entered walk test and that's what picked you at keypad 

 

Must be getting old , I am sure in my earlier house bashing days that was walk test procedure , so better you look at log dude and find out why it's going off

Accenta ABI supported EOL, there's also the iD Accenta that catches a few people out, as it seems...
