Test LX-Bus

This menu allows you to test the panel’s ability to communicate with zone and output expander modules connected to the LX-Bus circuits.

Enter the LX-Bus number (1-5), then enter the LX-Bus device address. Only enter addresses that modules have been set at. When TEST LX-BUS displays, press any select key or area.

The keypad displays TESTING…STOP during the test. You can select STOP to end polling. The panel records the number of no responses from the device. If all polls are received by the panel correctly, the keypad displays 00000/65535 FAIL.

If one or more polling attempts fail, the keypad displays the number of failed polling attempts followed by /65535 FAIL. If 65535/65535 FAIL displays, there may be a problem with the interface card or its LX-Bus wiring. Possible causes include a faulty wire, an improperly connected harness, excessive noise or cable distance, or a mismatch between the zone number and device address.

Zone Finder

This menu allows you to identify individual zones on devices connected to the LX-Bus of an interface card, the panel, or any zones on the keypad data bus.

Press any select key or area. The display changes to FAULT ZONE. The next zone on the system to change from a normal state to an open or shorted state displays its zone number.

Zone State

This menu allows you to enter any zone number and verify its current electrical state (normal, open or shorted).

Press any select key or area, then the display changes to ZONE NUMBER: -. Once you enter the zone number, the panel displays one of the following zone states:

• NRML (normal)

• OPEN

• SHORT

LX-Bus Status

This menu allows the panel to poll all devices connected to the LX-Bus of an interface card and check for Overlapped, Missing, or Extra addresses.

Select one of the following options to check the LX-Bus devices:

OVLP (Overlap) — Occurs when one device address is the same as any of the last three zones on another 714 or 715 module. The overlap feature does not determine when two devices have the same address.

MIS (Missing) — Occurs when a wireless zone (500-999) has been programmed in Zone Information and no device with that zone address has been installed on the LX-Bus

EXT (Extra) — Occurs when a device is installed on the LX-Bus but none of its zones are programmed in the system

X-Bus

This menu displays the firmware version of the connected external wireless receiver.

MAC Address

This menu displays the panel’s onboard network hardware address.

Serial Number

This menu displays the network communicator serial number. Reference this number for communicator date-of-manufacture, hardware version, and more.

Loader Version

This menu displays the factory loader version.

Carrier Selection

📍 Displays if DualSIM is active

If remote connectivity is unavailable, carrier options can be manually switched on the keypad.

To switch to a single carrier, press ATT (AT&T) or VZW (Verizon). To switch to DualSIM operation, select BOTH.

Signal Strength Test

If DualSIM is activated, the panel automatically selects a primary carrier (AT&T or Verizon) when the panel is turned on. Once the primary is established, the panel tests the signal strength of the primary every hour.

During the test, if the primary’s signal drops by 10d b or more, the panel then tests the backup carrier. If the backup has a stronger signal, it becomes the new primary. Every five hours, the panel automatically tests the backup’s signal strength to determine the stronger signal.

Communication Status

This menu allows you to test the individual components of cellular or network communication.

The display changes to PATH: -. Enter the communication path you want to check.

The test proceeds until the first component failure is detected or until all components have been tested with positive results. The test screen displays after each component is tested and displays for two seconds or until CMD has been pressed.

See Cellular Results and Network Results for the results that may display.

Cell Signal

This menu allows you to test the cellular signal strength of the nearest tower for the SIM card carrier.

Press any select key or area to display cell signal strength. The X’s represent the numerical value of the cell signal strength in -dBm.

▐ = signal strength 0-7

Stop

Press any select key or area to save and end the Diagnostics program. The keypad returns to the Status List display.
