Vista SEM 300 Sync Error Troubleshooting Guide

Gateway LED Reference

The enclosure gateway LEDs can be used to indicate communication errors, panel communication, network communication, and signal strength.

Trouble LED

Flash pattern Description
1 The Alarm.com module cannot communicate with the panel. Perform a power cycle on the panel.
2 then 4 The Alarm.com module provisioning process could not be completed. Power cycle the system.
2 then 5 The Alarm.com module provisioning process could not be completed because the module is currently roaming off the carrier’s primary network.
3 The Alarm.com module is trying to register on the cellular network. If it persists for more than a few minutes, the module is having problems registering. Check L4 for signal level. If signal level is lower than 2 bars, change the panel’s location or use a remote antenna option.
4 The Alarm.com module is registered on the cellular network but could not connect with Alarm.com.
5 The radio on the module is not working correctly. If this persists for more than a few minutes, the module may need to be replaced. This error is extremely rare, so please verify that the module is flashing 5 times.
6 This indicates an error only if it persists for more than a minute. Otherwise, it’s an indication that the module is resolving an unusual condition regarding communication with the cellular network.
7 The SEM is unable to access panel programming. Check the panel wiring and installer code.
8 If this error persists, the account may have been set up incorrectly. Check that the serial number being used matches the serial number used to create the account.
