Testing the System
Using the Test mode allows each detection point to be checked for proper operation. Testing
should be conducted weekly to ensure proper operation.
• The keypad sounds a single beep about every 30 seconds as a reminder that the system is in the
Test mode. Alarm messages are not sent to your Central Station during testing.
If a problem is experienced with any detection point (no confirming sounds, no display), call for
service immediately.
1. Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The ready indicator LED should
be lit if all zones are intact.
2. At the Master Menu Screen Select the “Test” icon followed by the “Walk Test” icon.
3. Listen. The sounder should beep one time and “Walk Test-Off to Quit” should be displayed. The
control sounds a single beep every 30 seconds while the test is in progress. If the sounder
does not sound, CALL FOR SERVICE.
4. Fault zones. Open each protected door and window in turn and listen for three beeps from the
keypad followed by the zone’s voice descriptor. Each faulted detection point should appear on
the display. The display clears when the door or window is closed.
5. Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps. Each detector
should appear on the display when it is activated. The display clears when no motion is detected.
Note that if wireless motion detectors are used, there is a 3-minute delay between activations to
conserve battery life.
6. Test all smoke detectors, following the manufacturer's instructions.
7. When all detection points have been checked and restored (closed), there should be no zone
numbers displayed.
8. Exit test mode by entering an Off Sequence.
