Walk Test LED Explanation
Green Is Good - Green “ECI(Environmental
Caution Indicator) LEDs ON mean each technology
is stable and ready for walk-test. Optional XL-
Sounder is silent.
Passive Infrared Sensor is in Alarm - Passive
Infrared Alarm RED LED is ON, but sensor is not
in alarm. Optional XL-Sounder beeps slow (2
beeps per second).
Microwave Sensor is in Alarm - Microwave
Alarm YELLOW LED is ON, but sensor is not in
alarm. Optional XL-Sounder beeps fast (8 beeps
per second).
Sensor is in Alarm - Master Alarm RED LED
is ON, because Passive Infrared Alarm RED LED
and Microwave Alarm YELLOW LED are ON
simultaneously. Optional XL-Sounder sounds a
continuous tone.
