5.14 Test Transmission
To ensure that the communication link with the central station is functioning properly, program the panel to send a test trans- mission signal on a regular basis.
The panel can send a Periodic Test Transmission Reporting Code at the programmed Test Transmission Time of Day. The Test Transmission Cycle determines the period of time between tests.
NOTE: The LINKS Test Transmission can only be programmed in days.
If you program the test transmission cycle for a longer period of time than it was programmed for previously, the system will wait the original time period before the next test transmission is sent, and then begin reporting with the new interval.
The panel can also send a test for the LINKS1000 Cellular Communicator, if used. If the LINKS1000 Test Transmission Code is programmed, the panel will send a cellular test at the interval programmed in the LINKS Test Transmission Cycle. Users can also generate a communicator test. If the System Test Reporting Code is programmed, the panel will send the signal when the System Test keypad command is entered. (See “[*][6] User Functions” on page 10.)

5.15 Transmission Delay
If the transmission delay zone attribute is selected for a given zone, the panel will delay reporting an alarm for that zone for the number of seconds programmed for the Transmission Delay Time. If the panel is disarmed before the delay time expires, the panel will not report the event.

5.16 Fire, Auxiliary and Panic Keys
The emergency keys are available on all keypads. These keys must be pressed and held for two seconds before they will activate. This two second delay is designed to help prevent accidental activation.
If the [F] / 
Key option is enabled, when the Fire keys are pressed and held for two seconds, the panel will activate the alarm output following the option programmed in section [013]: [8] (see section 5.13 “Bell” on page 22). The alarm out- put will sound until a code is entered or until the bell
If the [A] / 
Key is pressed and held for two seconds, the panel will sound the keypad beeps three times to verify acti- vation. The panel will beep the keypad ten times rapidly when a kissoff is received, to verify communication to the central station.
If the [P] / 
Key is pressed and held for two seconds, the panel will immediately communicate the signal to central station. If [P] Key Audible Bell and Buzzer option is enabled, when a user presses the [P] / 
key, the keypad will beep three times and the panel will activate the alarm output until an access code is entered or the bell
Each LCD keypad may be programmed to have the [F], [A], &
[P]keys enabled or disabled. Please refer to Appendix B: “Pro- gramming LCD Keypads” on page 44.
NOTE: The Fire, Auxiliary, Panic keys will operate even if Keypad Blanking is active (See 5.22 “Keypad Blanking” on page 25.)

5.17 Arming/Disarming Options
If the Quick Arm option is enabled, the panel can be armed without an access code by entering [*][0] or by pressing the Stay or Away function key. If the Quick Arm option is disabled, users will need to enter an access code after pressing a func- tion key.
The Quick Exit option, if enabled, will allow someone to leave an armed premises through a Delay type zone without having to disarm and
Enable the Arm/Disarm Bell Squawk option to have the panel squawk the alarm output once upon arming and twice upon disarming. If an alarm is in memory, when the panel is disarmed the bell will sound three pairs of disarm squawks.
NOTE: If you enable the Bell Squawk on Arming/Disarming (section [014], option [1]), the bell will sound arm/disarm bell squawks for all access codes, regardless of the programming for attribute [7]. See “[*][5] Programming Access Codes” on page 10.
Enable both the Squawk on Away Arming/Disarming Only and the Arm/Disarm Bell Squawk options to have the panel squawk the bell only when the system is away armed or dis- armed.
The Opening After Alarm Keypad Ringback option will cause the keypad to beep 8 times rapidly after the Opening After Alarm reporting code has been successfully transmitted to the central station. The Opening After Alarm Bell Ring- back option will cause the panel to squawk the bell 8 times rapidly after the Opening After Alarm reporting code has been successfully transmitted to the central station.
NOTE: If the panel is armed using the Stay function key, or by entering [*][9][access code], there will be no bell squawks dur- ing entry and exit delays, except for the arm/disarm bell squawks.
Closing Confirmation, if enabled, will cause the keypad to beep 8 times rapidly after the closing reporting code has been successfully transmitted to central station.
If the Bypass Status Displayed While Armed option is cho- sen, the Bypass light will be ON while the system is armed to indicate that there are bypassed zones.
