Testing Your Entire System
All smoke detectors in this installation must be tested by your smoke detector installer or dealer once a year to
ensure they are functioning correctly. It is the user’s responsibility to test the system weekly (excluding smoke
detectors). Ensure you follow all the steps in the ‘Testing Your System’ section above.
NOTE: Should the system fail to function properly, call your installation company for service immediately.
1. Prior to testing, ensure that the system is disarmed and the Ready light is on.
2. Press and close all zones to return the system to the Ready state.
3. Perform a System Test by following the steps in the previous section.
4. To test the zones, activate each detector in turn (e.g., open each door/window or walk in motion detector
areas).
PK5500/LCD5500 keypads will display the following message when each zone (detector) is activated:
“Secure System Before Arming < >”, “Secure System or Enter Code” or “Secure or Arm System”. Use the
keys to view which zones are open. The message will disappear when the zones are closed.
PK5501/LCD5501Z keypads, the display says “Open” when any zone (detector) is activated. To see which
zones are open, press . The keypad will scroll the numbers of all open zones.
NOTE: Some features described above will not be functional unless enabled by your installer. Ask your installer which
features are functional on your system.
Walk Test Mode
The installer can initiate a Walk Test mode for the system. While in Walk Test mode, The Ready, Armed, and Trou-
ble LED's will flash to indicate that Walk Test is active. When the system automatically terminates the Walk Test
modes, it will annunciate with an audible warning (5 beeps every 10 seconds), beginning five minutes prior to the
termination of the test.
Allowing Computer Access To Your System
From time to time, your installer may need to send information to or retrieve information from your security sys-
tem. Your installer will do this by having a computer call your system over the telephone line. You may need to
prepare your system to receive this ‘downloading’ call. To do this:
1. Press [Master code] at any keypad. This allows downloading for a limited period of time. During
this time, the system will answer incoming downloading calls.
For more information on this feature, please ask your installer.
