Testing
It is recommended that the system be tested on a weekly basis. NOTE: Perform
tests in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.
1 Inform the monitoring station that you are testing your system.
2 Disarm the system (“Ready” light should be ON).
3 Perform a battery/bell test by pressing [
*
], [6], [Master Code], [8]. The alarm
will sound for about 2 seconds. If a trouble occurs after the test, press [
*
], [2]
to view the trouble condition.
4 Activate each sensor in turn. For example, open a door or window. Observe the
zone light come ON as each sensor is activated. The zone light will go OFF as
each sensor is restored to normal (door or window is closed).
5 Press the [F] key. The signal will sound in a pulsed mode. Arm then disable the
panel to silence the signal. Repeat this test by pressing the [A]
and [P] keys in
turn. Remember, the [A] key does not ring the bell and the [P] key may not be
programmed for an audible signal.
6 If the fire zone is used, activation will cause the signal to sound in a pulsed mode.
CAUTION: Do not use open flame or burning materials to test a smoke
detector.
Contact your installer for information on safe methods to activate a
smoke detector.
7 Should your system fail to operate properly, call your installer for service.
8 When testing is complete, call and advise the monitoring station.
Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following should
be observed:
1 Do not wash the keypad with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a barely damp cloth
should remove normal accumulations of dust.
2 The battery/bell test is designed to determine battery condition, however it is
recommended that the stand-by battery be replaced every three years.
3 For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic
or microwave motion detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the respective
manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance.
