Conducting a secure test
Secure testing is typically used for inputs that you need to test whilst the area is
being armed, for example, to enable you to test a door contact at the end of the
day when arming the area.
Your system may be programmed to automatically go into secure test mode
when arming areas that contain inputs configured for secure testing. In such a
case, the RAS beeper sounds during the test interval, and the LCD screen
indicates that the secure test is running (Figure 7 below).

“0”- Cancel:
The secure (armed) test is a defined interval during which specific inputs may be
tested to see if they are operating correctly when the area is unoccupied. The
inputs must be programmed to be included in secure tests (determined by the
input’s test type).
The area is armed after one of the following occurs:
• The secure test is cancelled by the user.
• The required inputs are tested (toggled from sealed to unsealed and back to
sealed).
• The secure test time expires.
An input’s secure test is recorded as completed if the input is toggled from sealed
to unsealed and back to sealed.
Following a secure test, you can view the secure test report to see if any of the
required inputs are untested (see “Secure test report” on page 22).
Cancelling a secure test
From the secure test RAS display (Figure 7 above), press [0] [ENTER] [ENTER].
The RAS beeper stops sounding (after the auto test interval expires) and the
selected areas are armed.
The secure test takes a little time to finish, in order to give the tested inputs time
to reseal.
