The WindowMaster 104 control panel is our standard EN12101-10 tested smoke vent panel

This single zone panel is most often used to control AOV’s in stairwells, such as AOV windows, AOV hatches and AOV skylights to vent smoke to a smoke free escape route.

While they are quite simple to install and use, it can be sometimes a little bit confusing checking the fault code to know what to do next, most of the time it is a simple process after you have identified what the fault is.

Reading the fault code

The fault code is displayed by a series of blinks on the control board, so you need to note down the number of blinks and refer to the table below for the issue & next step to take:

We have prepared a short video of how to read the WSC 104 fault codes to help:

Top 3 Fault Codes

Fault Meaning Next Steps
5.1.1 Actuator Configuration Check WSA 514 EOL monitoring module is correctly wired OR ensure this the EOL module is removed from the circuit when using WindowMaster Motorlink actuators.
6.2.4 Break glass detector input If you have a WSK 501 break glass, insert a WSA 501 10kΩ resistor across either:

  • Terminals 7&8 (if input un-used)
  • Last smoke detector in the run (e.g. WSA 300 / WSA 311)
  • Across the terminals of your fire alarm/input output module
7.1.1 Smoke detector/Fire alarm input If the input is used, insert a WSA 501 10kΩ resistor in either

  • The last smoke detector in the run
  • Across the terminals of your fire alarm/input output module

Always remember to run the auto-configuration on the panel after making any changes by pressing the two buttons together until the red status indicator appears.
Auto-configuration can take up to 2min to fully complete.
