Verifying system operation

Your system should be inspected daily for proper operation. To verify system operation, walk through the system corridor with a secured library item. This should result in an audible alarm and a flashing alarm light at the top of the panels. There is no need for repetitive walk-through testing. During normal operation, the current patron count is displayed. Each pass through the system should increment the patron counter by one.
