Installer Testing
When installaon and programming is complete, use the
opon in the Installer Toolbox to test for proper system
operaons.
Access the Installer Toolbox
To access the Installer Toolbox:
1. At the Home screen, tap the system logo in the lower-
right corner.
2. At the Enter a Code screen, enter the installer code (the
default installer code is 1561).
The Installer Toolbox(1 of 3) screen appears.
Disable/Enable Sounder
When tesng the Control Panel, both the internal and external
sounder (if installed) will be acvated. To limit noise during
the tesng process, the Control Panel oers an opon to
disable the sounder.
Disable the Sounder
To disable the sounder:
1. At the Installer Toolbox (1 of 2) screen, tap Disable
Sounder.
2. At the Disable Sounder? screen, tap OK. NOTE: The
internal sounder emits a siren for two (2) seconds. If
an external sounder is connected, four (4) chirps are
emied.
3. At the Sounder Disabled screen, tap OK.
NOTE: The sounder will be automacally re-enabled in 30
minutes or you can manually enable it. See “Enable the
Sounder”, below.
4. While disabled, the Sounder Disabled icon appears in the
status bar.

Sensor Type (Zone) Report Test
To verify that the Central Staon correctly receives reports
from each zone (sensor type):
1. Nofy the Central Staon. Because the system sends
test signals, nofy the Central Staon that you will be
tesng the system.
2. Fire Test. Trigger a 24-Hour re sensor (if installed)
or tap the Control Panel’s Emergency
buon
and then tap the Fire buon (if enabled). Wait for
approximately 45 seconds for the report to complete,
then disarm the console.
3. Panic Test. Trigger a 24-Hour Panic sensor (if
installed) or tap the Control Panel’s Emergency
buon and then tap the Panic buon (if enabled).
Wait about 45 seconds for the report to complete,
then disarm the console.
4. Emergency Test. Trigger a 24-Hour emergency sensor
(if installed) or tap the Emergency
buon (if
enabled), wait ab out 45 seconds for the report to
complete, then disarm the console.
5. Burglary Test. Arm the system, then trigger a
burglary sensor, wait for the system to go into alarm
mode, then wait about 45 seconds for the report to
complete, and then disarm the console.
6. Verify Tests with Central Staon. Check with the
Central Staon that each zone (sensor type) was
reported, then inform the Central Staon that the
tesng is complete.
Walk Test
Radio quality can vary when there is background noise on
the operang frequency. Examples of background noise
sources include telephones, microwaves, high-frequency
digital products, and other radio communicaons.
To determine the best locaon to mount each sensor, it is
recommended that you place each sensor in the desired
mounng locaon and then perform a Walk Test. This
helps you to idenfy whether the desired locaon has
good/weak signal strength. When you nd a locaon with
good signal strength, you can then mount the sensor.
To place the panel into Walk Test mode:
1. At the Installer Toolbox (1 of 2) screen, tap Walk Test.
NOTE: When placing the Control Panel into Walk Test
mode, you have 25 minutes to complete the test before
the screen mes out. The system also sends a “Start Test”
report to the Central Staon and beeps once every 30
seconds. During the last ve (5) minutes of the test, the
system beeps two (2) mes every 30 seconds and the
icon ashes in the status bar.
Enable the Sounder
If the sounder is disabled, you can manually re-enable it as
follows:
1. At the Installer Toolbox screen, tap Enable Sounder.
2. At the Sounder Enabled screen, tap OK.
