Issue - Panel display's Open SLC 1 or Open SLC Solution - When the SLC loops are wired Class A, an open on the positve (S+) loop wiring will cause the the panel to display "Open SLC1 or Open SLC 2". *Note - This is a latching fault condition and will not clear until RESET is pressed.** To find an intermittent open, program the SLC to be a SINGLE CLASS B LOOP and remove the wires from the return loop S2+ and SC2-. When the fault occurs again all the points beyond the break will report as missing. ... View more

Question - Why does the panel go into alarm when I connect the 2-Wire DUCT or Smoke Detector wiring to the UL Listed 2-Wire zone? If I reset the panel it goes right back into alarm after the reset is done. Answer - The wiring is wired in reverse polarity or you have a short on the loop wiring. Use a meter to verify the polarity of the wire and that the loop is not shorted. At the DUCT or smoke detector wire the positive  to the Positive Terminal of the loop. The negative or common to Negative Terminal of the loop. Use a meter to verify the polarity of the wire. *Note -Never trust the color of the wire. Voltage is color blind. ... View more

Question: Can I program one of the on board relays to toggle on either a Trouble or Supervisory? Answer: No; programming one of the On Board Relays as General Trouble Output (62) cannot be combined with any other Output Function. Therefore, Output programming for the relay should be as follows: A = (62); B = (00); C = (00); D = (00). Note: When the On Board Relay is programmed as General Trouble Output (62), the Relay will be energized until a trouble happens. So, when the panel is in a System Normal State, the NC contact of the relay will be open and the NO will be shorted. *NOTE - The FPD-7024 added a third on board relay. ... View more
