TesTInG proCedure
We recommend that you test your Sensaphone weekly to be sure it is functioning properly. This will
ensure that when a problem arises the Sensaphone will be ready to alert the appropriate personnel.
There are several tests that can be performed:
1.) Create an alarm on each zone by tripping all connected sensors.
Temperature sensors: Heat or cool the sensor.
Motion sensors: Have someone walk in front of the sensor.
Door/window sensors: open the door/window.
Water sensors: Apply a small amount of water beneath the sensor or use a wet towel and touch it to the
sensor probes.
Humidity sensors: Raise the humidity around the sensor by holding a cup of very hot water beneath the
sensor.
2.) Allow the unit to contact all programmed users. This will make sure that the Sensaphone is pro-
grammed properly. It will also prepare personnel to respond appropriately when they receive a message
from the Sensaphone.
3.) Test the battery (if installed) by unplugging the AC adapter and making sure that the Sensaphone
continues to function. Keep the AC adapter unplugged so that a Power Failure alarm occurs. Plug in the
AC adapter after the unit has finished.
4.) Keep a log of your tests, noting the date and whether the Sentinel Pro passed in each category tested.
An example of such a log is shown below. (See “Test Log” at the end of this manual.)
