It is important to be aware of the various trouble conditions that can be reported to your monitoring station. When a trouble condition occurs, the TBL key or light on your keypad will be illuminated.
Some systems may also emit a beeping sound every five seconds to alert you of a new trouble condition. You can stop this "trouble beep" by pressing the TBL key.
How do I access the Trouble Display?
- Press the [TBL] key.
The [TBL] key will flash and number(s) corresponding to the trouble(s) will illuminate (except MG32LCD) - Check the trouble condition
- Press the [CLEAR] key to exit.
