This is for a relative's system that was in the house when they moved in and
it's not close enough for me to have a look. I'm only a DIY guy but I do
have *some* experience with these panels however I'm struggling trying to
figure out what it is and how often it's sent? I asked them to call the CS
and provide more details, it may have been a one shot deal with the CS?



I  was thinking a low battery too however that's two locations on question
14 (L3 -L4)  and the AC loss is question 13 (L3-L4) and the default(s) are
AA likely to be changed to digits I would think?  I belive the AA is null so
would it still send an F if it can't send two digits? I know they do have
some power outages and the battery is(was) three years old so I did suggest
they changed the battery, that was done today.
