TESTING THE SYSTEM

Using the 5

TEST Key

The system must be tested weekly. No alarm reports will be sent to the

central monitoring station while the system is in the TEST mode.

The TEST key puts your system into the TEST mode, which allows each

protection point to be checked for proper operation.

1. Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The

keypad's “READY” message should be displayed and the READY indicator

(if present) should be lit.

2. Enter your security code and press the TEST key.

3. As the TEST mode is entered, the external siren or bell will sound for one

second and then turn off. Each time a protection zone is faulted, the

keypad will sound 3 beeps. The keypad will sound a single beep every 40

seconds as a reminder that the system is in the TEST mode.

If these sounds do not occur, call for service immediately!

4. Open and close each protected door and window in turn and listen for the

required sounds. The identification of each faulted protection point should

appear on the display.

5. Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for the

required sound as movement is detected. The identification of the detector

should appear on the display when it is activated.

Note: Wireless PIR (passive infrared) units will send signals out only if they

have been inactive for 3 minutes.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to test all smoke detectors, to

ensure that all are functioning properly. The identification of each

detector should appear on the display when each is activated.

After all protection points have been checked and restored, there should

be no zone identification numbers displayed. If you experience a

problem with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no

display), CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.

Turn off the TEST mode by entering the security code and pressing the

OFF key.
