Testing Phone Communication; Testing Central Station/Pager Communication; Testing Outputs/Sirens - GE 60-806-95R-16Z - Security Concord Express System Control Panel Installation Instructions Manual

Note
The way information is dis-
played varies with pager ser-
vices and may not match the
example to the right.
Account numbers with
alpha-characters also vary
when displayed, depending
on pager service. Account
numbers are not displayed if
Streamlining is turned on.
Testing the System
When possible, locate wireless sensors within 100 feet of the panel. While a transmitter may
have a range of 1,000 feet or more out in the open, the environment at the installation site can
have a significant effect on transmitter range. Refer to the "Troubleshooting" section to resolve
the problem.
For wireless sensors that don't respond, use an ITI RF Sniffer (60-401) test tool to verify that the
sensor is transmitting. Constant beeps from the RF Sniffer indicate a runaway (faulty) sensor.
Remove the sensor battery and replace the sensor.

Testing Phone Communication

Perform a phone test to check the phone communication between the panel and the central moni-
toring station.
¾
To perform a phone test:
1. Contact the central monitoring station to inform them that you are testing the system.
2. Press 8 + system master CODE + 2 . The display shows
sounds one beep.
When the panel completes the test, the system returns to the previous arming level automatically.
If the display continues to show
CODE and refer to the "Troubleshooting" section.

Testing Central Station/Pager Communication

After performing sensor and phone tests, check that the system is reporting alarms successfully
to the central station (or pager).
¾
To test communication with the central station/pager:
1. Call the central station and tell the operator that you will be testing the system.
2. Arm the system.
3. Test each of the touchpad and wireless panic buttons and trip at least one sensor of each type
(fire, intrusion, etc.) to verify correct operation.
4. Check pager displays to verify reports are received. Pagers display an event code, digit sensor
number, and the last four digits of the account number.
For example, a pager display of
002
condition, = sensor/zone in alarm or user number, and
account number. Table 5 describes pager system event codes. Table 6 describes pager sensor/
zone number and user number report codes
5. When you finish testing the system, call the central monitoring station to verify that the
alarms were received.

Testing Outputs/Sirens

All outputs (Onboard and SnapCard) should be tested to verify configuration programming.
¾
To Test Outputs:
1. Contact the central monitoring station to inform them that you are testing the system.
2. Verify that all wiring at the panel and output devices is correct.
3. Activate the appropriate device to trigger each output as programmed.
4. Verify that each output responds according to the programmed configuration number. For
outputs that trigger sirens, verify that the correct alarm sounds are produced from these
sirens. Table 7 describes the system alarm sounds you should hear for each alarm event.
Contact the central monitoring station when you are finished testing.
!
Be sure to contact the central monitoring station before activating outputs that
trigger from an alarm condition.
Caution
for 1½ minutes or more, enter 1 + system master
