1.2.6.n.2 Period / Time 
 
If “1.2.6.n.1 Test call mode” on page 54 is set to Period, the menu defines the 
interval between automatic test calls. The allowed range is 0 (never repeat) to 
999 hours. 
Note: The first test call occurs after a panel restart or a configuration change. 
If the option “1.2.6.n.3 Extend” below is set to Yes, the real time of the test call 
can vary depending on other events reported to the central station. 
If “1.2.6.n.1 Test call mode” on page 54 is set to Time, the menu defines the time 
when the test call occurs. The test call time is set in 24 h format, as HH:MM. 
1.2.6.n.3 Extend 
 
The Extend option defines whether the test call interval is counted from the 
previous test call or from the last successful event report.  
If this option is set to Yes, after an event transmitted to the central station the test 
call delay is extended and the next test call is postponed.  
If this option is set to No, the next test call occurs in a test call period after the 
previous test call, regardless of other reported events. 
Note: The option is only applicable if “1.2.6.n.1 Test call mode” on page 54 is set 
to Period. 
1.2.6.n.4 Freq TC if FTC 
 
If this option is set to Yes, during the communication fault (FTC) the panel tries to 
establish a communication by initiating a test call every hour. Otherwise, the test 
call is attempted as usual depending on the “1.2.6.n.2 Period / Time” option 
described above. 
1.2.6.n.5 Man. test call 
 
The Manual test call option lets you test the central station reporting. Select the 
central station. The panel now tries to establish a connection with the selected 
central station. 
The call progress status is shown on the display.
