FAQs
Why is my Alarm Expander Board (CICP1600AB) not being recognized by the Continental Controller?
1) Verify the address jumper is correct on the Alarm Board. The address jumpers are X1, X2, X3 or X4.
2) Verify the ribbon cable is positioned correctly. Verify pin 1 on the cable goes to pin 1 on the Alarm board.
3) Install the power cable to the Alarm board.
3)VERY IMPORTANT: On the Alarm board, if the Green XTM LED does not illuminate solid or flashes on startup, this indicates the alarm board needs to be initialized. To initialize the Alarm board, place a jumper on the first input (J4) of the Alarm board. Then press the red reset button on the Continental Controller. The Green XTM LED should illuminate solid at this point.
