¾To test pager communication:

1.Call the central station and tell the operator you will be testing the system. If there are voice event notification or pager numbers programmed notify them also.

2.Verify the pager is on.

3.Test each of the panic buttons to verify they are signaling the pager correctly. (See Table 9.)

Voice Event Notification

Testing this feature requires two people; one at the installation site and the other at the location the panel is programmed to call (Option 4 and/or 5). The phone test will fail if the phone is not answered.

Note

Option 11 and /or 12 must be set to 10.

1.Contact the central monitoring station to inform them you are testing the system and not to dispatch help.

2.At the system site, activate a portable panic or press the system Call button.

3.At the calling location, pick up the phone after it starts ringing. You should hear the panel voice announce “Press star for alarm.”

4.Press the * button on the phone and the panel voice announces “Time is x:xx, sensor xx panic alarm.” If the * button is not pressed and the call is ended the panel will call back 8 times.

Note

Pressing 5 on the phone at this point will start a 2-way session with the panel. See Table 10 for the remote phone commands.

5.After listening to the alarm information and/or having a 2-way conversation, press # to termi- nate the call.

6.At the system site, press the Status button to clear the status message. The panel will announce the time and the type of alarm.

If you press the Status button before the panel has delivered the Voice Event Notification the sys- tem clears the alarm message and only the time will be announced.

Remote Phone Operation

Test the system from a remote (off-site) phone using the commands in Table 10. See “Option 20: Ring/Hang/Ring” in the Programming section for information on connecting to CareGard from a remote phone. After a successful Ring/Hang/Ring, enter the Master Access Code + a Phone Command from Table 10.
