12.0 Testing and Maintenance
12.1 Burglar Alarm Testing
Two people are needed to complete this test. One person will watch the screen on the keypad while the other person walks around the protected areas and opens the zones (i.e. opens the doors and windows that are protected, walk in the path of the motion detectors, etc.). The screen will display the opened zones, but if a zone does not register, contact your installer.

| Do NOT use an open flame or burning materials to test your fire detection devices. Your |
|
|

| Speak to your installer before conducting a System Test since the system must be | |
|
|
| |
|
|
| programmed to respond to the test instructions. It is normally recommended that you |
|
|
| conduct the system test once a week, but contact your installer for instructions |
|
|
| concerning your particular system. |
To conduct the system test:
1.Call your monitoring station to advise them that you are testing your system.
2.Enter your [ACCESS CODE].
3.Press the [8] button.
The system will test all its connections and can send a report to your monitoring station. If the system detects a problem, the Trouble Display will show on the screen (refer to section 9.0 on page 19). Call your installer for repairs if any troubles occur.
