TESTING THE SYSTEM

There are three ways to test your sys- tem:

Testing Coverage

Testing the Siren

Testing the Monitoring Service

TESTING COVERAGE

Periodically test the coverage to be sure your system will detect intruders. To do this, disarm the system. Then walk around the covered area. When the system detects your movement, the red ARMED indicator flashes. If the system does not sense your movement, reread “Installation” to be sure it is properly in- stalled.

TESTING THE MONITORING SERVICE

Periodically have the system call the monitoring service to confirm they are properly receiving its signals during an alert. Before you do this, have your password handy. First call ORCA Mon- itoring Services at 1-800-FOR-ORCA to let them know you are going to test the system. Then arm the system, wait for the exit delay to expire, and walk through the covered area.

ORCA Monitoring Services should call you within a few minutes of the alert. Give them the password and advise them again that you were testing the system.

TESTING THE SIREN

Periodically test the siren to be sure it will sound when triggered. To do this, lift the handset of any phone connected to the same line as the system. Then dial 1-800-YOUR PIN and T (8) then hang up within 60 seconds. The system waits for the exit delay. Then, when it detects motion, it sounds the siren for 3 sec- onds.
