6.1 Trouble Conditions

The control panel always watches for possible trouble conditions. If a trouble condition occurs, the keypad "Trouble"
light will turn on and the keypad will beep. Press [*][2] to display the trouble conditions.
The following trouble conditions apply to the RF5132 and/or any enrolled devices.
• General System Tamper (on Power panels v.2.01 and below) - This trouble is generated when the RF5132
detects an RF Jamming condition.
• General System Supervisory - This trouble will be generated if the panel loses communication with any
module connected to the Keybus. The event buffer will log a detailed description of the event.
• Device Low Battery - This trouble is generated when a wireless device exhibits a low battery condition. Press [7]
one, two, or three times to view which devices are experiencing battery failure. An LED keypad will indicate battery
failure using zone lights 1 to 8.
• Zone Tamper - This trouble is generated when an enrolled wireless device is removed from its mounting location.
• Zone Fault - Each wireless device will send a supervisory signal every 64 minutes (15 minutes for EU). If the
receiver does not receive a signal within the time programmed for the Wireless Supervisory Window, it will generate
a zone fault.
• RF Delinquency (EU only) - Each wireless zone will send a supervisory signal every 15 minutes. If the receiver
does not receive a signal within 15 minutes, it will generate a RF Delinquency Trouble for that zone. This condition
exists only on PC1616/PC1832/PC1864 panels v4.1.

6.2 Jamming Signal Detection

The RF5132 receiver detects jamming signals that can prevent the receiver from properly receiving transmissions from
enrolled devices. See section 4.4 "RF Jam Detect Zone" for information on jamming signal detection programming.
NOTE: For UL Listed installations, the RF Jam feature must be enabled - Section [804], subsection [90], Option
[7] OFF.

6.3 Wireless Zone Low Battery Transmission

Within any transmission, the device will indicate the status of the battery. If a battery is low, the system will indicate a
Device Low Battery trouble.
The system will delay reporting the event to the central station for the number of days programmed for Zone Low
Battery Transmission Delay in section [370] of the panel. This will prevent unnecessary reporting of the event if the user
has been instructed on how to replace batteries.
Replacing Batteries in Wireless Devices
1. Refer to the battery installation instructions on the installation sheet of each device. Be sure to note the proper
orientation of the batteries as you install them.
2. When the fresh batteries are in place and the device tamper is restored, the device sends a battery trouble restoral
signal to the RF5132. The battery trouble is now clear and the device should function normally.
NOTE: When batteries in one device need to be replaced, the batteries in all devices may need to be replaced at
the same time.
