What does A-17 mean?

This alarm is displayed on the remote terminal when a button has been held down for an extended period (more than 10 seconds), or if the keypad is disconnected. It suggests a physical issue with the terminal's buttons, or a faulty connection of the keypad itself, which can prevent proper input.

Additional Steps

  1. 3

    Clean the keypad surface and buttons to ensure no foreign material is causing interference.

  2. 4

    If the issue persists after checking buttons and connections, replace the remote display terminal.
