Section 10 – Testing the System

10-3

The system automatically exits the Test mode if there is no activity (no doors or windows are opened and

closed, no motion detectors are activated, etc.) for 60 minutes. The system beeps the keypad(s) twice every 5

seconds during the last 5 minutes as a warning that it is about to exit the Test mode and return to normal

operation.

Armed Burglary System Test

• Alarm messages are sent to the central

station during the armed tests. Notify the

central station that a test will be in progress.

• A display of “COMM FAILURE” indicates a

failure to communicate (no kissoff by the

receiver at the central station). If this occurs,

verify that the phone line is connected, the

correct report format is programmed, etc.

To perform an armed burglary test, proceed as follows:

Step Action

1 Notify the central station that a test of the

system is being performed.

2 Arm the system.

3 Fault one or more zones.

4 Silence alarm sounder(s) each time by

entering the code and pressing OFF.

NOTE: The system must be rearmed after

each code + off sequence.

5 Check that entry/exit delay zones provide the

assigned delay times.

Step Action

6 Check the keypad-initiated alarms, if

programmed, by pressing the panic key pairs

(✳ and #, 1 and ✳, and/or 3 and #).

The word ALARM and a descriptor “999” are

displayed for ✳ and #. If [1] and [✳] are

pressed, “995” is displayed; if [3] and [#] are

pressed, “996” is displayed.

7 If the system has been programmed for

audible emergency, the keypad emits a loud,

steady alarm sound. Silence the alarm by

entering the security code and pressing OFF.

If the system has been programmed for silent

panic, there are no audible alarms or

displays. A report is sent to the central

station, however.

8 Notify the central station that all tests are

finished, and verify results with them.

Testing Wireless Transmitters

Transmitter ID Sniffer Mode

Use the Transmitter Sniffer Mode to test that

transmitters have all been properly programmed.

If a transmitter does not have its serial number

“enrolled,” it will not turn off its zone number.

To enter the Transmitter ID Sniffer Mode, proceed as

follows:

Step Action

1 Enter Installer Code + [#] + [3]. The

keypad displays all zone numbers of wireless

units programmed into the system.

2 Fault each wireless zone, causing each device

to transmit.

As the system receives a signal from each of

the transmitters, the zone number of that

transmitter disappears from the display.

3 Enter Installer Code + OFF to exit the

Sniffer Mode.

Go/No Go Test Mode (For Burglary Use Only)

This mode assists in determining good mounting

locations, and that the RF transmission has sufficient

signal amplitude margin for the installed system.

• All partitions with wireless transmitters must

be placed in the test mode for RF receiver

sensitivity reduction (50%). Otherwise, the

RF receiver remains at full strength.

• Make sure that all partitions are disarmed

for this test.

To enter the Go/No Go Test Mode, proceed as follows:

Step Action

1 Enter Installer Code + [5].

2 Fault each wireless transmitter, causing each

device to transmit.

The keypad will beep three times if the signal

is received.

3 If the keypad does not beep, reorient or move

the transmitter to another location. Usually

a few inches in either direction is all that is

required.

4 Enter Installer Code + OFF to exit the

Go/No Go Test Mode.
