Test Procedure
After installation is completed, each partition of the Security System should be
carefully tested, as follows.
1. With the System in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact. If a
NOT READY message is displayed, press the [*I key to display the faulted
zone(s). Restore faulted zone(s) if necessary, so that READY message is
displayed. Fault and restore every sensor individually to assure that it is
being monitored by the system.
2. Enter the security code and press the TEST key. The outside sounder will
sound for 1 second. The keypad should sound 3 beeps each time a contact is
faulted. A test report should be sent (if programmed) to the Central Station
immediately. If the backup battery is discharged or missing, the sounder may
not turn on and a LOW BATTERY report will be transmitted with a TEST
report. The keypad will beep once per minute as a reminder that the system
is in the Test Mode. To turn off the test mode enter security code and press
the OFF key.
Alarm messages will be sent to the central station during the following
tests 3 and 4. Notify them
in advance that tests will be in progress.

TO THE INSTALLER
Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the installer and
frequent testing by the user are vital to continuous satisfactory operation of any
alarm system.
The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and offering a regular
maintenance program to the user as well as acquainting the user with the proper
operation and limitations of the alarm system and its component parts.
Recommendations must be included for a specii% program of frequent testing (at
least weekly) to insure the system’s proper operation at all times.
