Testing Zones/Sensors
Test sensors/zones after all programming is completed, whenever there is a change in environ-
ment, equipment, or programming, and whenever a zone- or sensor-related problem occurs.
If the system does not respond as described in the following procedure, see the “Troubleshoot-
ing” section.
Note
While the sensor test is a
valuable installation and ser-
vice tool, it only tests sensor
operation for the current
conditions. You should per-
form a sensor test after any
change in environment,
equipment, or programming.
1. Place all sensors and zones in their non-alarm state.
2. At an alphanumeric touchpad, enter the sensor test mode by pressing 8 + installer code + 3.
The touchpad sounds one beep and displays
SENSOR TEST. The panel starts a 15 minute
timer.
3. Trip each zone/sensor one at a time. Touchpads (and interior sirens) should sound one short,
high-pitched beep and the display should show the sensor name (or number) and
OK.
4. Press the
STATUS button when you think all zones/sensors are tested. The touchpad displays
any untested sensors/zones and touchpad panics. If all sensors/zones and touchpad panics
have been tested, the display shows
SENSOR TEST OK.
5. Test any untested zones/sensors and touchpad panics.
Note
If you hear a long, low-
pitched beep, proceed to the
following section “If a Wire-
less Sensor Does Not Test.”
6. The system stays in sensor test mode for 15 minutes. When less than 5 minutes remain,
touchpads and interior sirens beep and the panel announces the remaining time over the
speakers once every minute. After 15 minutes the panel disarms to OFF, automatically. If
you need more time to complete the sensor test, press 8 + installer CODE + 3 while the sys-
tem is still in sensor test mode. This restarts the 15 minutes of test time.
7. When all sensors/zones and touchpad panics have been tested, press 1 + installer CODE to
exit sensor test mode.
If a Wireless Sensor Does Not Test
If touchpads display SENSOR FAILURE and sirens sound a long, low-pitched beep when a zone or
sensor is tripped, this indicates that the wireless sensor signal strength is below acceptable limits.
Distance from the receiver, the installation environment, or both, are most likely affecting the
sensor signal strength.
When possible, locate wireless sensors within 100 feet of the panel. While a transmitter may
have a range of 1,000 feet or more out in the open, the environment at the installation site can
have a significant effect on transmitter range. Refer to the “Troubleshooting” section to resolve
the problem.
