13.3.7.2 Testing RF Devices
To test RF devices that have been added to the system, press [2] when “Test RF Devices? Press 2.” scrolls
across the display. The display will then show the following:
Loc9 A1 Pt9
Test? Press 9*.

Figure 48: Test RF Devices Display
The display scrolls through all of the properly configured devices (Figure 48 shows Location 9 as an example)
and asks whether you wish to test. Using Location 9 as an example, press [9] followed by [*] to test the RF
device at Location 9. The first line of the display will show “Activate device!”, indicating that the device must be
activated in order to test it. Once the device is activated, the following display will appear:
L03 M01 P08
Loc9 A1 Pt9
Figure 49: RF Device Test Status Display
The first line in Figure 49 shows the RF device’s test status:
• L03: System recognizes the device and that the device is operating properly. Other status displays include:
- L02: System recognizes the device and that the device operation is fair.
- L01: The device must be relocated to allow for proper operation.
• M01: Counts the number of device activations. For example, an RF3401 Point Transmitter is the device being
tested. When the magnetic assembly is removed from the point transmitter base, the activation counter will
count one activation. When the magnetic assembly is returned to the point transmitter base, the counter will
count a second activation. Opening and closing the point transmitter’s case are also considered activations.
• P08: Message packet transmission.
- Alarm, Panic and Restoral messages are transmitted with 8 packets (Alarm and Restoral refer to the
transitions in and out of alarm conditions).
- Supervisory and Test transmissions (smoke detectors) consist of 4 packets.
- RF keypads transmit 4 packets for all keys except the Emergency keys, which transmit 8 packets.
- RF key fobs transmit 4 packets for normal operation and 8 packets for the Panic button (Arm and
Disarm pressed simultaneously).
RF receivers need to receive 7 or 8 data packets from a transmitter in order for that transmitter to be considered
“Good.” When testing RF keypads or key fobs, the panic functions must be used, otherwise the units will only
transmit 4 packets (see packet count above). When testing the installation of a smoke unit, the test button
should not be used. Doing so will result in a 4 packet transmission.
When you have finished testing a device, press [Cmd]. The list of RF devices will begin to scroll beginning with
the first (lowest) location assigned to an RF device. You may select another location to test by entering the
location number followed by the [*] and repeating the procedure described above. If you are finished testing,
press [Cmd] again and the RF Menu will be displayed.
