Troubleshooting

Quick diagnostic flow

  1. Confirm exact model/SKU on label matches official install guide.
  2. Clear panel AC and cell troubles before diagnosing wireless devices.
  3. Read zone trouble — tamper and low battery before "missing."
  4. Verify 5800 Series vs SiX encrypted sensor matches panel hardware.
  5. For cell modules: ICCID, antenna, RSSI, and dealer platform match.
  6. Power-cycle panel only per dealer policy — document user codes first.
