send a test signal
Where What
I ran a diagnostics and received an OK
That won't work, the panel has to send a signal which it can't while you are online
I said remotely Can I clear it from the shop?
Call it up, program it to send a successful download signal. When you disconnect, it will send the signal, and your com fail will clear.
That is if:
1) the panel is proper connected to a working phone line2) you are able to connect with accurate security code
3) you are able to properly program via DL9004) the list can go on and on and on.
Thank you
Ya there my accounts
You have to make some checks and get them in to the panel.
down load, prog, log full.
manual comm test
something else.
Well, duh.
log full? umm ok....
the place where test signals go.
any communication with the cs will clear the FTC. easiest remotely would be to do as alarman said and send signal on download. after you turn that on in programming. if you use daily tests it will clear itself in 1 day or less.
the question is why did you get a FTC and what was the event caused it? I have had to change test times on some systems to stop ftcs caused by the test signal.
another good way to clear FTC's is to turn on manual test to send a test signal to the central station for the end users. then they can do manual test that will also send cs test by pressing [*4]. you can also prog manual test to do a battery test and siren test at the same time as the cs test signal. A nice feature for the user to ensure that battery, siren and comm is wOrKing.
Every time I read this board it puts a smile on my face... ha ha ha
