Testing Your System 
 
System Tests 
 
Your security system is only as effective as each of the components. This includes your 
sirens, communicator, back up battery, and detection devices.  
Each of these should be tested at least once per week and maintained to provide the 
highest level of security. Failure to conduct regular testing can result in system failure 
when most required.  
The four system tests to perform are: 
Perform a Walk Test
