Most frequently asked questions and answers about the Advantage Lithium Flash Codes.
What do I do when I have a trouble condition?
If and when you have a trouble condition ,indicated by the LED on the front of the panel, you will need to refer to the flash code guide.
What does a single flash(1X) on the service system LED indicate?
This indicates an issue in Detection Zone 1. Use the following points to being troubleshooting:
Check for continuity on detection zone 1.
Resistance between terminal strip row A position 1 – 2 should read 470K ohms +/- 23.5K ohms
If L.T. 445K ohms, check for moisture intrusion or chaffed wire
If G.T. 495K ohms, check for poor connections or damaged wiring
What do two flashes (2X) on the service system LED indicate?
This indicates an issue in Detection Zone 2. Use the following points to being troubleshooting:
Check for continuity on detection zone 2.
Resistance between terminal strip row A position 1 – 2 should read 470K ohms +/- 23.5K ohms
If L.T. 445K ohms, check for moisture intrusion or chaffed wire
If G.T. 495K ohms, check for poor connections or damaged wiring
What do three flashes (3X) on the service system LED indicate?
This indicates an issue in the Manual Release Zone. Use the following points to being troubleshooting:
Check for continuity on manual release zone.
Resistance between terminal strip row A position 5 – 6 should read 470K ohms +/- 23.5K ohms
If L.T. 445K ohms, check for moisture intrusion or chaffed wire
If G.T. 495K ohms, check for poor connections or damaged wiring
What do four flashes (4X) on the service system LED indicate?
This indicates an issue in Actuation Zone 1. Use the following points to being troubleshooting:
Ensure actuator(s) is/are connected
Check to ensure actuator is intact and not fired
Inspect wiring to look for breaks or chafing
Take care not to apply voltage to the actuation circuit if using a multimeter or other device to check for continuity
What do five flashes (5X) on the service system LED indicate?
This indicates an issue in Actuation Zone 2. Use the following points to being troubleshooting:
Ensure actuator(s) is/are connected
Check to ensure actuator is intact and not fired
Inspect wiring to look for breaks or chafing
Take care not to apply voltage to the actuation circuit if using a multimeter or other device to check for continuity
What do six flashes (6X) on the service system LED indicate?
This indicates an issue in the Auxiliary Switch.Use the following points to being troubleshooting:
Check for continuity on auxiliary switch input
Resistance between terminal strip row A position 11 – 12 should read 0 ohms
What do seven flashes (7X) on the service system LED indicate.
This indicates an Actuation Disable issue. Use the following points to being troubleshooting:
Check the actuation disable toggle switch.
Unless intentionally switched, the toggle should be in the Normal position
What do eight flashes (8X) on the service system LED indicate?
This indicates an issue in the Local Buzzer.Use the following points to being troubleshooting:
Check the buzzer internal wiring to ensure it is connected
Verify the buzzer wiring has not been pinched
Check the front of the buzzer to verify no damage has taken place
Press the Push to Test button to verify buzzer is operating
What do nine flashes (9X) on the service system LED indicate.
This indicates a Ground Fault issue. Use the following points to being troubleshooting:
The AdvantageLi panel monitors for Ground fault on all field wiring circuits.
To determine if and where a wiring ground fault exists, flip the Actuation Disable switch then sequentially disconnect each circuit pair and use a jumper wire between each pair until the Ground Fault condition disappears. This indicates where the Ground Fault problem exists.
What do 10 flashes (10X) on the service system LED indicate?
This indicates an Abort Switch Fault. Use the following points to being troubleshooting:
Check for continuity on the Abort Switch
Resistance between terminal strip row A position 13-14 should read 470K ohms +/- 23.5K ohms
If L.T. 445K ohms, check for moisture intrusion or chaffed wire. If G.T. 495K ohms, check for poor connections or damaged wiring.
What do eleven flashes (11X) on the service system LED indicate?
This indicates a Cross Zone Fault. Use the following points to being troubleshooting:
This fault indicates a single detection zone is in Alarm when cross zoning is programmed.
What do 12 flashes (12X) on the service system LED indicate?
This indicates a Temperature Fault. Use the following points to being troubleshooting:
This fault indicates a high internal temperature of greater than 120°F has been recorded by the AdvantageLi panel
