Frequently asked questions

What happens if the panel configuration checksum fails?

The point is activated, and the panel will start a shutdown procedure which results in it restarting and locking into a 'safe state'.

How are FIM Local I/O pseudo points cleared?

They are cleared if the health report indicates OK or when communication resumes, depending on the specific fault.

What action is required for Stage 1 or Stage 2 Image Fail validation errors?

In all cases, a replacement board must be sourced as the component is not easily serviceable.
