Troubleshooting Your PanelView 5500

PanelView 5500 Startup Failure

If your PanelView 5500 fails to startup properly, always check the power supply first. Ensure the terminal is receiving the correct voltage and that the wiring and connections to the power source are valid. Check both the AC and DC power requirements. Confirm that all power wiring is correct for the AC and DC power wiring and that all wiring specifications are met. Finally, check for stuck keys or see if anything is touching the display.

If you continue to have startup issues, check the status indicators. 

PanelView 5500 Status Indicators

Two status indicators are located on the back of your PanelView 5500 terminal. The STS indicator is green and reflects the terminal is powered on and operational. The ERR indicator is red and reflects firmware and hardware faults. Upon startup, the ERR indicator should be off and the STS indicator on. If the ERR indicator flashes a few times at startup, this is not a concern. However, if both indicators are off you should check the power cable. See the table below to interpret the terminal's indicator status:
