How do I clear a ground fault trouble on the Kidde FX-5 when the Ground Fault LED stays lit?

To clear a Ground Fault, you must identify and remove the physical short between the panel circuitry and earth ground (Page 2) [1].
The panel will remain in a trouble state until the electrical path to ground is repaired and the system is manually reset (Page 1) [1].
-
Inspect field wiring to locate the circuit shorted to the chassis or conduit (Page 62) [1].
-
Repair the wiring or device causing the ground contact. 3. Press the Panel Silence button to silence the buzzer during the investigation (Page 1) [1].
-
Press the Reset button. The panel will perform a reset cycle; if the fault is cleared, the Ground Fault and System Trouble LEDs will turn off (Page 19) [1].
