With the System in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact. If NOT
READY is displayed, press the ~] key to display the faulted zone(s). Re-
store faulted zone(s) if necessary, so that READY is displayed. Fault and re--
store every sensor individually to assure that it is being monitored by the
system.
Enter the security code and press the TEST key. The outside sounder
will sound for 1 second. The console shouldsound 3 beeps each time a con-
tact is faulted. A test reportshouldbe transmitted(if programmed)to the Cen-
tral Station immediately. if the backup battery is discharged or missing, the
sounder may not turn on and a LOW BATTERY report will be transmitted with
a TEST repott. The console will beep once per minute as a reminder that the
system is in the Test Mode, To turn off the test mode enter the security
code and press the OFF key.
Nofe: For 5800 systems, triggering a zone set to Arm Away, Arm Stay, or
Disarm will take the system out of TEST and cause that action.
Alarm messages will be sent to the central station during the
following tests 3 and 4. Notify them in advance that tests will
be In progress.
Arm the system and fault one or more zones. After 15 seconds (if optionaldi-
aler delay is selected), silence alarm sounder(s) by entering the code and
pressing OFF. Check Entry/Exit delay zones.
Check the keypad-initiated alarms that are in the system by pressing the
Panic key pairs. If the system has been programmed for audible emergency,
the console will emit a steady alarm sound, and ALARM and zone num-
ber will be displayed. Silence the alarm by entering the security code and
pressing OFF.
If the system has been programmed for silent emergency, there will be no
audible alarms or displays, but a report will be sent to the central station.
If output
Relay Units have
been installed, test their programmed action.
Notify the central station when all tests are finished, and verify results with
them.
To
test the wireless part of the system and the RF Receiver, 3 additional test
modes are available:
a. HOUSE ID SNIFFER MODE (not applicable to, or necessary with,
5800 RF system): By pressing Master code + # + 2, a house code
"sniffer" mode is enabled. The console will display the house code of any
RF transmission it receives. In this way, you can check that you are not
using the same house code as any nearby system (suggested test
period: ap rox. 2 hrs). This mode can be exited by keying the Master
8 code + FF.
b. TRANSMITTER SNIFFER MODE: Pressing Master code + # + 3
initiates a procedure to check that all transmitters have been properly pro-
grammed. The console will display all zone numbers of wireless units pro-
grammed into the system. As the system receives a signal from each of
the transmitters, the zone number of that transmitter will disappear from
the display. The transmitter codes may be checked upon installation, or in
an installed system. All the wireless addresses should disappear after
about 1-1/2 hours. This mode can be exited by keying Master code +
OFF. (/Yote: With a 5800 RF system, a transmitter not learned will not
turn off its zone number.)
c. GO/NO GO TEST MODE: By pressing Master code + # + 4, a
mode similar to the user test mode (code + TEST) is entered, but the
wireless receiver gain is reduced. Checking in this mode assists in
determining good mounting locations for the transmitters when the
% system is emg installed and verifies that the RF transmission has
sufficient signal amplitude mar in for the installed system. Exit the mode
8 by entering Master code + FF.
Note: If the battery standby capacity is exceeded during an AC power failure,
the control will automatically shut itself off.
