TESTING THE SYSTEM

(TO BE CONDUCTED WEEKLY)
The TEST key puts your system into Test mode, which allows each protection
point to be checked for proper operation.
1. Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The keypad's
READY message should be displayed.
2. Enter your security code and press the TEST key.
3. When the Test mode is entered, the internal siren or bell will sound for one
second and then turn off.
The keypad will sound a single beep every 40 seconds as a reminder that the
system is in the test mode.
If these sounds do not occur, call for service immediately.
4. Open and close each protected door and window in turn. Each time a
protection point is faulted, the keypad should sound 3 beeps. The
identification of each faulted protection point should also appear on the
keypad display.
5. Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for the
required beeps as movement is detected. The identification of the detector
should appear on the display when it is activated.
Note: Wireless PIR (Passive Infrared) units will send signals out only if they
have been inactive (no one has entered the protected area) for 3
minutes.
6. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to test all smoke detectors, to ensure
that all are functioning properly. The identification of each detector should
appear on the display when each is activated.
