4. G Repeater Fault Cause This type of fault occurs when the panel is programmed to communicate on the network with a Global Repeater using Netx_check and the Global Repeater fails to respond to this communication Diagnostic 1 Check that the Global Repeater has its network communications assigned to communicate with the panel indicating the fault This is done under the Network menu option in the Communications menu 2 Check the network cable for continuity between the panel and the Global Repeater Also check the cable polarity connections and the cable resistance to earth Note that the panel does not check the network cable for earth faults 3 Ensure that the network cable is correctly terminated where required To Clear This fault will automatically clear when communications between the panel and the Global Repeater have been established 3 2 1 20 Hardware Test Cause This type of fault occurs when the panel finds a problem with the internal panel hardware or firmware The panel performs a transparent hardware test at random times every hour automatically A test number always accompanies this message and is of the utmost importance The test number will indicate to the service technician what type of hardware failure the panel has experienced Diagnostic Under most conditions the panel would automatically try to recover from this failure by restarting This means that normally no operator or technician s inte
