TEST

2. Enter your security code and press the

5

key.

3.The external sounder should sound for 3 seconds and then turn off. If the sounder does not sound, it may be due to dialer communication activity. Wait a few minutes and try again. If the sounder still does not sound, CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.

4.The keypad will sound a single beep every 15 seconds as a reminder that the system is in Test mode. Each time a protection zone is faulted (opened); the keypad should beep three times. If the sounder does not sound, CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.

NOTES:

•No alarm reports will be sent to the central monitoring station while the system is in Test mode.

•The system will automatically exit 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 will beep 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.

Testing Your System

1.Open and close each protected door and window in turn and listen for three beeps. Each faulted protection point should appear on the display.

2.Walk in front of any motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps as movement is detected (wireless motion detectors have a 3-1/2 minute lockout between trips). Each detector’s should appear on the display when it is activated.

3.Follow the manufacturer's instructions to test all smoke detectors to ensure that all are functioning properly. Each detector should appear on the display when activated.

4.When all protection points have been checked, there should be no zone identification numbers displayed. If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.

5.Turn off Test mode by entering the security code + the OFF key.
