Bosch Solution Alarm Keypad Keeps Beeping
If you encounter nuisance beeping coming from the keypad this means you will have a fault condition.
The beeps will be heard at one-minute intervals, and either a FAULT light or an exclamation mark trouble indicator icon will flash on the keypad.
To acknowledge the fault, press the [AWAY] or [#] button; the indicator will stop flashing and remain on in a solid state, and the beeping will stop; however, this may start again after an arm/disarm cycle.
To remove the fault altogether, you will need to diagnose and correct the issue causing it.
Fault Analysis
Solution Series alarm systems have a comprehensive index of possible faults to indicate just about any abnormal or undesirable condition.
To better understand what might be causing the trouble beeps, it is important to conduct a Fault Analysis:
- Hold down button [ 5 ] on the keypad for a few seconds.
- Take note of the number(s) that display, indicating the general fault(s).
- Press/hold the corresponding number button of a general fault to see its specific fault(s).
- When finished, press the [AWAY] or [#] button.
For example, at Step 2, Fault Analysis may show the number 1, indicating a System Fault; pressing/holding the number [ 1 ] button as indicated by Step 3 may show the number 2, indicating Date & Time.
The most common Fault Analysis will show 1 – System Fault ⇨ 1 – Low Battery and/or 2 – Date & Time.
If multiple numbers show at Step 2, you will need to run Fault Analysis multiple times to look into each one as per Step 3.
For a more accurate list of faults and their descriptions, please refer to the specific manual for your system, as Fault Analysis Mode will vary slightly, depending on the model of your alarm panel.
