Checking Zones Using One-Man Walk Test (Sniffer Mode)

Use this mode to test all zones (wired and wireless) that have been programmed. Make sure all

partitions are disarmed before trying to enter this mode, since this is a system-wide command.

1. Press [Installer code] + [#] + 3.

NOTE: If the communicator is in the process of sending a report to the central station, the

system will not go into the Sniffer mode. If so, wait a few minutes, and try again.

The keypads in all partitions will display all zone numbers (in all partitions) programmed in

the system. Fault each zone in turn, causing each one to send a signal. As the system receives

a signal from each of the zones, the corresponding zone number disappears from the display.

2. After all zones have been checked, exit the Sniffer Mode by keying [Installer code] + OFF.

IMPORTANT: Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. You must manually exit Sniffer

Mode (by entering [Installer code] + OFF) to return to normal operation.

NOTES:

• All BR type RF units (e.g., 5804) must physically be activated to clear the display.

• When one button of a transmitter (RF, UR, or BR) is activated, all zones assigned to other

buttons on that transmitter are cleared. This also applies to multiple-loop transmitters (e.g.,.

5816 and 5817).

• Any transmitter not “enrolled” or any zone that is not faulted will not turn off its zone

number.

Go/No Go Test Mode

The Go/No Go Test verifies adequate RF signal strength from the proposed transmitter location, and

allows you to reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary, before mounting the transmitters

permanently. This mode is similar to the Transmitter Test mode, except that the wireless receiver gain

is reduced. This will enable you to make sure that the RF signal from each transmitter is received with

sufficient signal power when the system is in the normal operating mode.

1. Enter [Installer code] + [#] + 4 from the partition being tested. Repeat this test for each

partition.

2. After you have placed transmitters in their desired locations and the approximate length of

wire to be run to sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw terminals (if used), fault each

transmitter.

3. Do not conduct this test with your hand wrapped around the transmitter.

a. Keypad beeps three times to indicate signal reception and displays the appropriate zone

number.

b. If the keypad does not beep, you should reorient or move the transmitter to another

location. Usually a few centimeters in either direction is all that is required.

4. If each transmitter produces the proper keypad response when it is faulted, you can then

permanently mount each of the transmitters according to the instructions provided with them.

5. Exit the Go/No Go Test mode by entering: [Installer code] + OFF.
