This chapter contains two flowcharts, one containing the 4010’s power up

sequence and one that can be used to troubleshoot AC power problems.

Be aware of the following when using these flowcharts.

• The power up sequence occurs quickly. On a properly functioning

system, some phases of the power up sequence (for example, the span of

time during which the boot software revision is displayed) appear on the

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for only a few seconds. It may be necessary

to run the power up sequence several times, as you read the flow chart, to

properly interpret what is happening.

• You can skip these flowcharts if your system has powered up correctly

and is displaying a trouble message on the LCD. Refer to Chapter 2 for

descriptions of the 4010’s trouble messages.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

Note 1: When the system displays “1.02.xx”, this indicates the revision level of the boot software and does not

indicate the revision level of the panel’s BIN file. Refer to “Determining the BIN File Software Revision,” in

Appendix C of this manual for additional information.

Note 2: Revision 1 systems containing greater than 175 TrueAlarm isolator devices may reboot at this point. If this

occurs, upgrade the BIN file and programmer software to Rev. 2. Refer to Appendix A.

Note 3: Keep the following in mind about mismatched CFIG and BIN files:

- If a Rev. 2 job (CFIG) is downloaded to an SFIO board containing a Rev. 1 BIN file, the system reverts to a

Rev. 1 factory default job.

- If a Rev. 1 job (CFIG) is downloaded to an SFIO board containing a Rev. 2 BIN file, the system reverts to a

Rev. 2 factory default job.

Note 4: The SFIO board must be factory adjusted, tested, and loaded with the latest version of BIN file prior to

shipment. If a new SFIO board is received in the field and there is no BIN file loaded on it (i.e., a system with a

new SFIO enters a continuous link scan/code scan loop), this indicates that the board has not been factory adjusted

and tested. Order a new SFIO board, call Service Support to report the problem, and refer to Appendix B of this

manual for information on brownout potentiometer adjustment.

Note 5: The BIN file is available on the FTP site, the Technical Services Intranet site, or by ordering

NACs 1 & 2 Class A

or

NACs 3 & 4 Class A

Check the following:

• Verify that a Class A adapter card is actually installed. This error

occurs if the NAC’s device type is Class A and the adapter card is

not installed.

• Power down the panel, remove the Class A card and reseat it in the

header on the NAC. Check to see that the pins of the Class A card

are properly seated in the header on the NAC card and power on

the panel. If the trouble does not clear, power down the panel

again and swap another Class A card in place of the suspect card.

If the problem still occurs, replace the SFIO board.

• Check the field wiring for opens and shorts.

Type Trouble Message Possible Causes / Troubleshooting

NAC

Card

Troubles

NAC 1 Signal Power

NAC 2 Signal Power

NAC 3 Signal Power

NAC 4 Signal Power

Indicates a power trouble on the NAC. Check the following:

• Check the load on the NAC in question while it is in the alarm state.

The load on each NAC must not exceed 2A. The SFIO board has

overcurrent protection for each NAC. An overloaded NAC trips this

protection and displays a NAC Signal Power Trouble for the circuit.

Unless the circuit is grossly overloaded, you should have several

seconds to measure the voltage before the protection trips. Measure

the current in either one of the following ways:

- Current Draw for a Single NAC. Use a DC ammeter, connected

in series with the load, to measure the load.

- Current Draw for all NACs. Measure the voltage across R150,

which is located above the LCD on the left-hand side of the SFIO.

Divide the measured voltage by .025. The result is the sum of all

NAC and auxiliary power loads.

• If the problem is with NAC 3 or 4, and they are powered by the 4010’s

Expansion Power Supply (EPS), check the following:

- Verify that the red shunt has been removed from connector P13

on the SFIO board.

- Verify that the red (power) harness is connected to P1 on the

EPS and P13 on the SFIO board. Verify the white harness

(communication) is connected to P14 on the SFIO and P2 on the

EPS.

- Remove the harness and visually inspect each female pin on

both harness connectors. Make sure that none of the pins is

pushed back into the connector. Gently tug on each wire at the

back of the connector. If a wire pulls out from the connector,

re-insert it until the pin clicks back into place. Meter each wire for

continuity.

- Verify that no circuit draws more than 2A.

Expansion Power Supply

Indicates an Expansion Power Supply (EPS) problem. Try the

following:

• Verify that the AC circuit to which the power supply connects is

supplying 120 VAC (+ 10% / - 15%).

- If voltage is present, suspect the EPS transformer, the EPS

bridge rectifier, the connectors, or the harness running from the

EPS to the SFIO. Refer to Appendix B for information on

troubleshooting these components of the EPS.

- If no voltage is present, check the AC circuit feeding the panel.

• Verify that the black battery wire on the EPS connects to the – Batt

terminal on the 4010. Even if you are not using battery backup for

the EPS, you must connect the black wire to the – Batt terminal.

Run the Earth Fault search diagnostic. If the results of the Earth Fault

search do not isolate the source of the fault, try the following:

• Disable each NAC one at a time, checking each time to see if the

fault clears.

• Disconnect the AUX power from the panel. Check to see if the fault

clears.

• Disconnect the N2 communications from the panel. Check to see if

the fault clears.

If the fault is intermittent, use the Earth Fault Latch, located in the

Function menu, to silence the fault until the intermittent problem can be

isolated and fixed. Note: After fixing the problem, you will need to

perform a system reset to clear the Earth Fault Latch.

If a negative ground is isolated to the dual RS-232 card and one port of

this card attaches to a DC-powered printer and the other port connects

to an AC-powered CRT, upgrade 565-810 to Revision A1 or greater.

You can also remove jumpers P17 and P18 from this card, if ground

detection is not required.

Table 2-2. Power Supply Troubles (continued)

Type Trouble Message Possible Causes / Troubleshooting

Battery Low

Indicates the battery voltage is low (less than 22.8 V), battery standby

is running low, and action is required.

Note that this may or may not indicate a problem. Do the following:

• Note the time of the Battery Low event and determine if the battery

has charged since the event occurred. If the battery is charging,

allow it to charge for a full 48 hours and then check the voltage of

each battery separately.

• If this event occurs without an AC Power fail (check the panel’s

history log for AC power failure events), suspect either bad

batteries (i.e., won’t hold a charge) or a battery charger problem.

See the battery charger troubleshooting in the “Battery

Depleted/Disconnected” trouble.

Battery

Depleted/Disconnected

Indicates the battery has a voltage less than 19.5 V. Do the following:

• Check the voltage at the battery terminal block on the SFIO board.

The voltage should be 27.6 VDC (+/- 200 mV). If voltage is

present, but less than 27.6 VDC, use R256 to adjust the charger

voltage. See “Battery Charger Trouble” description later in this

section.

• Check the fuse and replace if necessary.

• Check the voltage of each battery separately from the other

battery. If one battery is good and the other is bad, replace both

batteries. (Note: Batteries are always replaced as a set.)

Power

Points

Battery Low Cutout

This trouble only occurs if the Depleted Battery system option is

enabled. Indicates the battery has reached a depleted state, and the

system will function in one of two ways:

• Shut the system down. This is the ULC-required operation for

Canada. Depleted Battery system option requires a special wiring

harness to function in this way.

• When an alarm occurs, the system does not energize the panel’s

NAC circuits. This functionality occurs when the Depleted Battery

option is enabled, but the special harness is not used.
