•Alarm messages are not sent to your Central Station while Test mode is on.

4.Fault zones. Open each protected door and window in turn and listen for three beeps from the keypad. Identification (zone number or zone description) of each faulted protection point should appear on the display. The display clears when the door or window is closed.

5.Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps. The identification of the detector should appear on the display when it is activated. The display clears when no motion is detected.

Note that if wireless motion detectors are used, there is a 3-minute delay between activations. This is to conserve battery life.

6.Test all smoke detectors, following the manufacturer's instructions. The identification of each detector should appear on the display when each is activated. If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), call for service immediately.

When all protection points have been checked and are intact (closed), there should be no zone identification numbers displayed on the keypad.
