Phone communication
Do a phone test to check the phone communication between the panel and the central monitoring station.
To test phone communication, do the following:
1. Contact the central monitoring station to inform them that you are testing the system.
2. Press 8 + system master code + 2. The display reads PHONE TEST and the touchpad sounds one
beep. When the panel completes the test, the system returns to the previous arming level automatically.
3. If the display continues to show PHONE TEST for 90 seconds or more, enter 1 + system master code
and refer to Troubleshooting on page 126.
Central station/pager communication
After doing sensor and phone tests, check that the system is reporting alarms successfully to the central station
or pager.
Account numbers vary when displayed, depending on pager service. Account numbers are not displayed if
Streamlining is turned on.
To test communication with the central station/pager, do the following:
1. Call the central station and tell the operator that you will be testing the system.
2. Arm the system.
3. Test each of the touchpad and wireless panic buttons and trip at least one sensor of each type (fire,
intrusion, etc.) to verify correct operation.
4. Check pager displays to verify reports are received. Pagers display an event code, digit sensor number,
and the last four digits of the account number. A pager display of 999 002 7468 indicates the
following:
• 999 (alarm condition)
• 002 (sensor/zone in alarm or user number)
• 7468 (last four digits of account number)
5. When you finish testing the system, call the central monitoring station to verify they received the
alarms.
CAUTION: Be sure to contact the central monitoring station before activating outputs that trigger from an alarm
condition.
