System Testing

You can test the components of the system—the sirens, the telephone hookup and the sensors—without causing a false alarm. This section describes how you can be sure that the system is functioning properly.

Important Notice: Test Monthly

Your Residential Services Contract (or Small Business Contract) requires you to conduct these tests at least once a month. Weekly testing is recommended.

Siren and Transmission Test

This test helps to ensure that the system’s siren is working properly and that the system is able to send an alarm signal to ADT’s Customer Monitoring Centers. You will not receive a call from ADT.

4. If you do not hear the beep or blast and the TROUBLE light turns on, the test failed. Call 800.445.0872.
