2. Enter your security code and press the 5 key.
3. The external sounder should sound for 3 seconds and then turn off. If the
sounder does not sound, it may be due to dialer communication activity.
Wait a few minutes and try again. If the sounder still does not sound,
CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
4. The keypad will sound a single beep every 15 seconds as a reminder that
the system is in Test mode. Each time a protection zone is faulted
(opened), the keypad should beep three times. If the sounder does not
sound, CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
Notes: No alarm reports will be sent to the central monitoring station while the
system is in Test mode.

three beeps. Each faulted protection point should appear on the display.

ensure that all are functioning properly. Each detector should appear on
the display when activated.

protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), CALL FOR
