Firealarm.com Technician: “Hey there! Sorry to hear about the trouble with your HPFF8. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
Check Power Supply: Ensure that the power supply to the panel is stable and sufficient. Sometimes fluctuations or inadequate power can cause malfunctions.
Inspect Wiring: Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and properly connected. Loose or damaged wiring can cause intermittent issues.

Reset Panel: Sometimes, a simple reset of the panel can resolve minor issues. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safely resetting the panel.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it might be best to contact a certified technician for further assistance or to schedule a maintenance visit. Let us know if you have any other questions or if you need additional help!
