CYAN alarm color indicates which condition?

• A. Alarm point secure.
• B. Power failure.
• C. Trouble failure.
• D. Tamper Alarm.

Answer: (C)

Color coding on alarm panels is designed for quick identification of issue type. Cyan signals a trouble condition, meaning there’s a fault or abnormal condition in a device or circuit that needs maintenance or inspection, but it isn’t an active security breach. This is different from a power failure, which would indicate the device has lost power; a tamper event, which signals unauthorized access to the device; or an active alarm, which is typically shown in red and means the point is currently triggered. When you see cyan, you should check the specific device or circuit for faults—such as sensor issues, wiring problems, or communication faults—and address it to restore proper operation.
