Is there a way to clear a FAULT reported by the keypad??? I understand
that when the wireless receiver supervision does not receive the "i am
ok" from a wireless device within the window that is programmed the
receiver declares a device FAULT. The device in this instance is a
wireless smoke.
I don't know why wireless smoke causes FAULT occasionally. It is
supposed to send the "I am OK" signal to the receiver every 64
minutes. In this case, a window of 8 hours or more should be more
than sufficient.
The Wireless smoke tests OK (push button causes sound, using an actual
smoking source created an alarm signal and pressing a magnet against
designated spot on the smoke housing creates an alarm signal.
The smoke is located nearer the receiver than several MIRs and
window/door switches. These father located devices do not fault unless
a very short window is programmed (a 1 hour window generates many
faults of course)
Disconnecting both AC & battery power "clears" the fault. It may or
may not reappear hours later. Having to disconnect battery & AC power
to CLEAR the FAULT seems drastic.
Yes, I understand that setting the supervision window to the maximum
of 96 x 15 min increments(the 24 hour window default value) minimizes
chance for FAULT unless wireless device REALLY is not sending "I am
OK" supervision signal every 64 mins. Should a setting of 8 hours be
so short that any working device is faulted?
Thanks for your help,
