Section 2. TESTING THE SYSTEM
Using The Test Mode
After the installation is completed, the Security System should be thoroughly
tested on a partition by partition basis as follows:
1. With the System in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact. If
DISARMED - Press [*] to show faults is displayed, press the [*] key to display
the descriptors of the faulted zone(s). Restore faulted zone(s) if necessary, so
that
****
DISARMED
***
/READY TO ARM (Alpha keypads), or READY (Fixed-
word keypads) is displayed.
2. Enter the security code and press the TEST key. The external sounder (if
used) should sound for 3 seconds and then turn off (the system is operating
on the back-up battery only at this time).
NOTES:
¥ If the sounder does not sound, this may be an indication that the backup
battery is discharged or missing.
¥ As a reminder that the system is in the Test mode, the Keypad will sound a
single beep at 15-second intervals.
¥ In the Test mode, no alarm reports will be sent to the central station. Also, the
external sounder (if used) will not be activated.
Doors and Windows Open and close each protected door and window in turn. Each action should
produce three beeps from the Keypad. The descriptor for each protection zone
will appear on the Keypad display.
Motion Detectors Walk in front of any interior motion detectors. Listen for three beeps when the
detector senses movement. While it is activated, its descriptor will remain
displayed on the Keypad. Note that wireless PIRs will have a 3 minute lockout
between transmissions to conserve battery life (remove cover for walk test to
override the 3-minute lock-out).
Smoke Detectors Follow the test procedure provided by the manufacturer of each smoke detector
to ensure that all detectors are operational and are functioning properly.
NOTE: A 2-wire smoke detector display will not clear until the Test mode is exited.
Turning Off TEST mode
Enter the security code and press the OFF key.
Armed System Test IMPORTANT! A message will be sent to the central station during the following
tests. Notify the central station that a test will be in progress.
NOTE: A display of "COMM. FAILURE" indicates a failure to communicate (no
Kissoff by the receiver at the central station after the maximum number of
transmission attempts is tried). If this occurs, verify that the phone line is
connected, the correct report format is programmed, etc.
1. Arm the system and fault one or more zones. Silence alarm sounder(s) each
time by entering the code and pressing OFF. Check that Entry/Exit delay
zones provide the assigned delay times.
2. Check the keypad-initiated alarms, if programmed in field *05, by pressing the
programmed panic keys (or panic key pairs on some keypads)
A or [*] + [1] ALARM and 95 will be displayed
C or [#] + [3] ALARM and 96 will be displayed
B or [*] + [#] ALARM and 99 will be displayed
If the system has been programmed for audible emergency, the keypad will
emit 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 will be no audible alarms or displays. A report will be sent to the central
station, however.
NOTE: A 2-way voice session will begin (if so programmed) during this test if
any of the Panic keys are programmed to report to the central station.
3. Notify the central station that all tests are finished and verify results with them.
