Go/No Go Test Mode
The Go/No Go Test verifies adequate RF signal strength from the proposed transmitter location, and allow you
to reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary, before mounting the transmitters permanently. This mode is
similar to the Transmitter Test mode, except that the wireless receiver gain is reduced. This will enable you to
make sure that the RF signal from each transmitter is received with sufficient signal amplitude when the
system is in the normal operating mode.
1. Enter [Installer code (6321)] + [#] + 4 from the partition being tested. For multi-partition systems, repeat
this test for each partition.
2. After you have placed transmitters in their desired locations and the approximate length of wire to be run to
sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw terminals (if used), fault each transmitter. Do not conduct
this test with your hand wrapped around the transmitter, as this will cause inaccurate results.
a. The touchpad will beep three times to indicate signal reception and display the appropriate zone
number.
b. If the touchpad does not beep, you should reorient or move the transmitter to another location. Usually
a few inches in either direction is all that is required.
4. If each transmitter produces the proper touchpad response when it is faulted, you can then permanently
mount each of the transmitters according to the instructions provided with them.
5. Exit the Go/No Go Test mode by entering: [any user code (partition specific)] + OFF.
Dialer Communication Test and Periodic Test Reports
1. Enter Installer Code + 5 [TEST], then press “1” at the prompt to start the Dialer Test (checks phone line
integrity only; does not confirm report transmissions).
1=DIAL, 0=WALK (no special display on English Display Touchpads; displays “DISARMED READY TO ARM”)
The following will be displayed (accompanied by 2 beeps) if test is successful:
PHONE OKAY (“Cd” displayed on English Display Touchpads)
A Contact ID report will also be sent (code 601)
If the dialer test is unsuccessful, the following is displayed:
COMM FAILURE (“FC” displayed on English Display Touchpads)
2. Enter Installer code + OFF to clear the display and exit.
Automatic Periodic Test Report
The system can be set to automatically send test reports (enabled in field *64; Contact ID code 602) at specified
intervals.
Frequency of the reports is set in Scheduling mode (event 11) or by the following key commands:
installer code + [#] + 0 + 0 = test report sent every 24 hours
installer code + [#] + 0 + 1 = test report sent once per week
installer code + [#] + 0 + 2 = test report sent every 28 days
Each mode sets schedule 32 to the selected repeat option; the first test report is sent 12 hours after command..
To ensure that test reports are sent at the times expected, set the Real-Time Clock to the proper time before
entering the test report schedule command.
Automatic Standby Battery Tests
1. An automatic test is conducted every 3 minutes to ensure that a standby battery is present and properly
connected. If a battery is not present or is not properly connected, a “LOW BATTERY” message is
displayed and, if so programmed, will be reported to the central station.
2. A battery capacity test is automatically conducted for 2 minutes every 4 hours, beginning 4 hours after
exiting the Programming mode or after powering up the system. In addition, entry into the Test mode will
also cause a battery capacity test to be initiated. If the battery cannot sustain a load, a “Low Battery”
message is displayed and, if so programmed, will be reported to the central station.
