Troubleshooting Tips

  1. Panel won't send despite correct programming:

    • Rarely, a default may be needed
    • Power down, default, reprogram

  2. Account number issues:

    • MUST be entered at both 811 and 812
    • With LED keypad: type account code twice at loc 811

  3. PGM trigger issues:

    • Jumper on motherboard above PGMs sets positive trigger
    • One model only sets one PGM as positive (not both)
    • Paradox fixing in next PCB version

  4. 6500 Panel on serial:

    • Does not send account code
    • Only sends signal ONCE
