All zones on a system can be monitored for correct operation by performing a monitoring test.
To perform a zone monitoring test:
1. Scroll to ZONE MONITOR.
2. Press SELECT.
3. Scroll to a preferred zone and press SELECT, or enter the zone number directly.
If the zone is located close to the keypad, the status of the keypad can be viewed as it
changes. The Zone status and resistance value displays on the top right.
4. Change the state of the sensor; for example, for a door contact sensor, open the door.
The keypad buzzer beeps and the status of the sensor changes from CL (Closed) to OP
(Open). The corresponding resistance value changes to a value that depends on the EOL
resistance scheme.
