Zone faults are usually caused by open or short circuits (or because an end-of-line
resistor was not properly placed (4k7))
The normal reasons for a Power Supply Fault are the absence of mains voltage,
batteries not installed or at low voltage, or defective/broken fuses, either in the mains
input or the battery input.
Sounder faults are normally caused by a failure of the protective fuses or to short or
open circuit lines. A badly placed end-of-line resistor in the sounder line may also
cause problems.
