Issue
Unable to enter into program mode whether using a passcode or shorting out the solder pins, and the panel is not locked out of programming mode.
Solution
Make sure the panel does not have a ground fault issue. The best way to tell is to check the following:
Take a voltage reading from aux power positive to Earth ground.
The voltage should read - 6.7VDC.
If the voltage is lower or higher than -6.7VDC, a ground fault is present.
The panel may indicated this trouble if it is turned on.
If the voltage is 0VDC - the ground fault condition is on the positive side of the panel
If the voltage is 13 VDC then the ground fault is on the negative side of the panel.
Leave the volt meter accross the terminal and start disconnecting wires until the voltage goes to -6.7VDC
Issue
What is the force arm or bypass max on the DS7100?
Solution
The bypass max is only limited by point programming, if the point is programmed in data digit 3 as bypassable then it may be bypassed no matter how many other zones may also be bypassed while arming.
Issue
Can zones 7 and 8 be used as normally open zones, and do they require any supervision?
Solution
Zones 7and 8 are not supervised on the D2112 and D2212 panels and therefore can only be used as normally closed zones, they will not work as normally open zones because no EOL is used. Voltages of 2.4 to 13.9VDC would be an open condition while voltages 0.0 to 1.4VDC would indicate a closed circuit on these points.
Issue
Keypad displays check zone, then displays the zone number.
Solution
Check followed by zone# or zone #'s indicates which points must be tested or bypassed before arming the system. Any zone on the control can be programmed to check before arming as well as multiple zones. Some systems are programmed this way to check for proper operation of the zone or zone's before it will allow you to arm. To disable this feature follow directions below.
1. Enter pgm mode
A. At the keypad enter the 5 digit programmers code followed by #0 ie... 98765#0, should now be in program mode (Led keypad will toggle leds back and forth)(alpha keypad will display program mode). If not, press the S1 switch located above zone 1 on the control.
B. Once in program mode enter 20 00000#
C. Press the * key for 3 seconds and release it. Should now be out of program mode.
Reattempt to arm the system.
