Zone Fault troubleshooting

MrRon,
How to I troubleshoot, work through a zone fault? Changed the battery and still showing a fault. Thanks you

 

A battery fault is different from a zone fault. Most zone faults will say "check Z?" or "fault Z?".

What is shown on the keypad ?

 

Also, please ALWAYS tell us the make and model of your control panel. Different panels and keypads have slightly different displays for zone faults.

When mentioning a problem of the zone, MENTION the ZONE NUMBER, and what's on that zone. A fire/smoke sensor zone, for instance, is treated differently than a window or door zone.
It makes a difference whether the zone is hardwired or wireless. With most panel models, any zone number above 8 can be either. Working with hardwired zones is different than with wireless sensor/transmitters.

Alarm systems are, by their nature, all custom-made. It speeds the troubleshooting process when you tell us what you're working with.

Thanks for helping me.

 

Check/replace the battery in the wireless contact.

 

Changed battery with Zone 14 to make sure good battery, Zone 14 working, Zone 13 still saying fault- reads 13 Fault left shop roll up.

 

If you have replaced the battery with a known good battery, and you are certain that the battery cover is properly in place, then the only thing remaining is a failed transmitter.

It's an electronic device, and it sounds like it may be in a harsh environment (by electronics standards a garage is rough).

 

Replaced the garage door magnet and all is good. Turned out to be a bad magnetic contact. We flooded back in August of last year and I assume corrosion set in to wiring of magnetic contact. Thanks for all your help always!
