yellow trouble light ADT Power series
Good Morning Please help- I have an unmonitored security system and recently the yellow trouble light is on- the alarm still gets set and works but unsure what the trouble light means and get it off. I could find no info in the manual. Thanks chances are this is a DSC power series panel used by ADT press *2, see which LED's light up- that will tell you what the trouble condition is (the LED's for zones will light, or if its an LCD display something will show up there the most common is a low panel battery. these should be need replaced every 3 - 5 years. has it went into alarm recently? it cold be a fail to communicate also. report back Hi thanks for the quick reply- I tried the *2 and zone 1 lit up!?! Now what? As far as the battery I didn't think there was one I appreciate your advice- I am at a loss Kathy ok- 1 on, press 1 - then see which light comes on - so, *2 , ( LED for zone 1 on ) press 1 now, another or more than 1 will light if its another 1, or doesnt appear to do anything, its a LOW panel battery- yes, there is a rechargable battery in a metal box somewhere in the house. basement, or closet its either a 12 volt, 4 amp (standard) or a 12 volt, 7 or 8 amp battery. if after pressing the 1 button, its NOT zone 1 lighting up- then that zone/s that do light up mean something else- iam not going to list them all, as there are 8 of them respond back with your findings I tried pressing *2 1 and only 1 stayed on . I then entered my code and tried it again and no zone light up and the ready light isn't even on now?!?!? You have a low battery. Replace the battery. The battery is in the metal box with the motherboard. You need a 12V 4 to 7aH battery. You don't have to power down. the connectors are just slip on connectors. thanks so much - I will try that- I really appreciate all the help this forum has provided. I called ADT and they wouldn't tell me anything because I wasn't monitored- you guys are the best. Merry Christmas I am having a similar problem. Our is showing a failure to communicate, which makes sense since we cancelled monitoring, but it also shows a problem with zone 4...our glassbreak. I have no idea get the cover off the glassbreak. I thought I might need to change the battery. But then, isn't it hardwired? Perhaps I need to replace the main battery? Thanks in advance! You are misreading the trouble display. Trouble 4 is loss of telephone line, trouble 7 is failure to communicate. The only way to correct this is to either restore telephone communications or to access programming and disable the communicator and telephone line monitor function. If this is an ADT installed system, you can find the installer code by websearching with the phrase: ADT installer code Once you have this, you can use the steps outlined in the sticky titled Alarm Forum FAQ (Please read before posting) in the section on DSC hardware.
