Simon Security System 25
Testing As an added safeguard, there are system tests you should do yourself on a regular
basis. It is recommended that you test your system weekly.
Testing Sensors
You can test sensors one at a time to make sure they are sending strong signals to the
panel. You should test the security system at least once a week.

The RF Electronic Thermo-

cally tested when a sensor
test begins. The panel will

OK. There can be delays
when the thermostat and
DTIM are automatically
tested.
The panel will voice prompt you with a list of your programmed sensors that you need
to test. The panel will start with sensor 1 and announce Test sensor 1, sensor name.
When you trip a sensor and it communicates successfully it will be removed from the
list. You may trip the sensors in any order.
After all sensors have been successfully tested, the panel will announce Sensor test
complete, press DONE. Press DONE. The panel will announce Sensor test ok.
If any of the sensors did not test successfully and you want to terminate the test, press
