23.2 Diagnostics function
The XR500 Series Canadian panel contains a Diagnostics function that allows you to test the communication
integrityoftheLX-Bus™,identifyindividualzones,andalsodisplaythepresentelectricalstateofany
zone. The Diagnostics function also allows you to test the integrity of the cellular communication, cellular
signal, and email communication. To use Diagnostics, reset the panel, enter the Diagnostics code 2313
(DIAG),andpressCOMMAND.

modulesconnectedtotheirLX-Buscircuits.
To continue, press any top row Select key. The keypad displays LX-BUS:. Using the digit keys, enter the
LX-Busnumber,1to5,totestthatLX-Buscircuit.ThekeypadnowdisplaysADDRESS: -.Entera2-digit

The keypad next displays TESTING . . . STOP during the device testing. At any time, you can Select
STOP to end polling. The panel records the number of no responses from the device. If all polls are
received back by the panel correctly, the keypad displays 00000/65535 FAIL.
If one or more polling attempts fail, the keypad displays * * * * */65535 FAILwiththe*representingthe
number of failed polling attempts. A display of 65535/65535 FAIL indicates a problem with the interface
cardoritsLX-Buswiringsuchasabadorbrokenwire,harnessnotproperlyconnected,orexcessivenoise
or distance. It can also mean that a zone number was entered that did not match a device address. Press

Zone Finder
ThesecondDiagnosticfunctionistheZoneFinder.PressCOMMANDtodisplayZONE FINDER. This function
allowsyoutoidentifyindividualzonesondevicesconnectedtotheLX-Busofaninterfacecard,thepanel,
or any zones on the keypad data bus. To use ZONE FINDER, press any top row Select key. The display
changes to FAULT ZONE. The next zone on the system that changes from a normal to an open or shorted
state is displayed as ZONE NO: * * *. To continue, press the Back Arrow key.
Zone State
PresstheCOMMANDtodisplaythethirdDiagnosticfunction:ZONE STATE. This function allows you to

LX-Bus Status
The fourth Diagnostic function is the LX-BUS STATUS. This function allows the panel to poll all devices
connectedtotheLX-BusofaninterfacecardandcheckforanyOverlapped,Missing,orExtraaddresses.
Below is a description of each status item:
