Driller Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone, Hope you're getting along ok in these difficult times. I've been getting what seems to me to be an odd PSU fault for the last week (G244 with 2 x powered RIOs). In the unset state the keypad will randomly go into the alert state with the dreaded beep. On inputing the master code the screen shows the following fault: AC Fail PSU 103 which I assumed to be the PSU on the second RIO unit (103=3rd PSU after main panel?) but now not so sure. On opening all 3 panels all would appear to be fine inside with the red LED in the RIO units flashing at the correct rate. I installed the main panel back in 2011 which has been flawless and the 2 RIOs early this year and they've both been fine too. Any ideas from the Galaxy experts here? Many thanks, Richard Edited September 17, 2020 by Driller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks, Richard I am definitely not an expert lol But seen these throw up a fault , how have you wired up the power lines ? From the panel what did you wire to the PSU rio Just now, MrHappy said: have you considered buying a dog ? Have you got a dog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 If its reporting ac fail on 103 I'd start there. Measure ac side and dc side. Asuming that's all OK id assume a smart PSU failure Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Nova-Security Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Could be the smart RIO PSU card (one on the right) if its the newer switch mode PSU, seen a few with a dodgy capacitor.

Driller Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Thanks for the suggestions (and Mr Happy's inimitable input ;-)). I'll be able to get a tester on it tomorrow and see what it says. Cheers Nova for the heads up on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driller Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Of course you had, I imagine the answer came as a bit of a relief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driller Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Just because I know Mr Happy was waiting for this, it's started doing it again intermittently: AC FAIL PSU 103. Opened the powered RIO panel, couldn't see a problem, tested mains side (good) and got 13V odd on the other side. The ribbon connector on the RIO side was slightly loose so pressed that home (moved maybe a millimeter). Anyone have any more news about this fault on the newer boards? I still do not have a dog.
