Action

Check the keypad-initiated alarms, if programmed, by pressing the panic key pairs (and #, 1 and , and/or 3 and #).

The word ALARM and a descriptor “99” are displayed for and #. If [1] and [] are pressed, “95” is displayed; if [3] and [#] are pressed, “96” is displayed.

If the system has been programmed for audible emergency, the keypad emits a loud, steady alarm sound. Silence the alarm by entering the security code and pressing OFF. If the system has been programmed for silent panic, there are no audible alarms or displays. A report is sent to the central station, however.

Notify the central station that all tests are finished, and verify results with them.

Testing Wireless Transmitters

Transmitter ID Sniffer Mode

Use the Transmitter Sniffer Mode to test that transmitters have all been properly programmed.

If a transmitter does not have its serial number “enrolled,” it will not turn off its zone number.

To enter the Transmitter ID Sniffer Mode, proceed as follows:

Step Action

1Enter Installer Code + [#] + [3]. The keypad displays all zone numbers of wireless units programmed into the system.

2Fault each wireless zone, causing each device to transmit.

As the system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of that transmitter disappears from the display.

3Enter Installer Code + OFF to exit the Sniffer Mode.

Go/No Go Test Mode

Checking the transmitters in this mode assists in determining good mounting locations, and verifies that the RF transmission has sufficient signal amplitude margin for the installed system.

All partitions containing wireless transmitters must be placed in the test mode for sensitivity reduction of the RF receiver (50% sensitivity). Otherwise, the RF receiver remains at full strength.

Make sure that all partitions are disarmed when performing this test, as the wireless receiver gain is reduced in half.

To enter the Go/No Go Test Mode, proceed as follows:

Step Action

1Enter Installer Code + [5].

2Fault each wireless transmitter, causing each device to transmit.

NOTE: If a single receiver is used, the keypad beeps three times to indicate signal reception. If two receivers are used, the keypad beeps once if the first receiver received the signal, twice if the second receiver received the signal, and three times if both receivers heard the signal.

3If the keypad does not beep, reorient or move the transmitter to another location. Usually a few inches in either direction is all that is required.

4Enter Installer Code + OFF to exit the Go/No Go Test Mode.
