i-on Range
The end of the bottom line shows the resistance of the zone. For 4-wire CC zones the
display alternates between the Alarm resistance ("A") and the Tamper resistance ("T").
"O/C" means Open Circuit.
"0k00" means zero resistance or closed circuit.

Signal Strengths

This option allows you check the received signal strength from all the radio transmitters
belonging to the system.
The keypad display shows first: the strength of the most recent signal it has received from
a transmitter, and second: (in brackets) the minimum strength signal it has received from
the transmitter since the records were last reset. The control unit is always recording
signal strengths, whether or not you are using the Signal Strength menu.
Note: If you have fitted a WAM to act as a repeater for weak detector signals then you will
not see any change in the signal strength reported for those detectors. However, you
should note the signal strength of the WAM, since that device is now passing on the
information from the detectors whose signal you are trying to amplify.
To reset the signal strength records press "D" while you are in the Tests – Signal Strength
menu. When you press "D" then the control unit resets the signal strength records for ALL
transmitters.
You can also reset the signal strength record of individual transmitters. To do this press "#"
while the display shows the signal strength of the transmitter you wish to reset.
There are four sections to the Signal Strength menu: Detector Signals, Radio Sirens,
Radio Keypads, and WAMs. Press  or  followed by  to select the section you want
to test.
Detectors
The display shows the strength of the most recently received signal from each learned
radio zone. The bottom line of the display shows the zone name. To see the zone number
press  or .
Radio Keypads
The display shows a list of the received signal strengths from each radio keypad.
External Sirens
The display shows a list of the received signal strengths from each 760ES siren.
WAM Signals
30 40 50 160
The display shows a list of the received signal strengths from each learned WAM.

Outputs

This option has three sections: Radio Outputs, Wired Outputs and Plug-by Outputs.
Note that the i-on16 does not have plug-by outputs, and will not show that option.
Press  or  followed by  to select the section you want to test.
Within each section the bottom line of the display shows one from a list of outputs
belonging to the section. Press  or  to display the output you wish to test then press 
to activate the output. Press  again to deactivate the output. Press  to finish the test.
Note: If you have programmed one of the plug-by outputs as an ATS Test output, then
when you test that output the control unit will pulse the output active for the correct
length of time to start a call in any connected dual-signalling communicator. You do
