Alarm Sirens; System Tests - Interlogix advisorone Quick Operation Manual

Alarm sirens

Exterior and interior sirens make three different alarm sounds on the premises, each indicating a different type of alarm. Sirens are
programmed by the installer to time out and stop sounding after a specified time. Consult with your installer to determine if your
system is configured with a communicator delay. A communicator delay will prevent a report to the central station if the control
panel is disarmed within 30-45 seconds after an intrusion alarm is triggered. Note that fire-type alarms are normally reported
without a delay.
Table 5 below describes the siren sounds used by the security system.

Notes:
Alarms will not be transmitted in test mode.
Temporal 3 refers to a continuous pattern of three siren pulses, then off for 1.5 seconds, three siren pulses, then off for 1.5
seconds.
Auxiliary/Emergency alarms have not been evaluated for medical applications by UL and should not be used for medical
emergencies.
Devices that are not UL Listed are not for UL applications. Among these may include unlisted water detection devices,
environmental sensors, key fobs, asset management devices, garage door openers, electric gate, motors etc.

System tests

The system should be tested every week. Test with both AC and Battery connected in USA. In Canada, test with AC and Battery
and once a month with Battery only (ULC requirement).
Sensor test
Sensors should be tested one at a time to make sure they are sending strong signals to the panel. Sensors should be tested at
least once a week.
To perform the sensor test:
1. Place all sensors in their secured (non alarm) state.
2. From the main Options screen, press TESTS.
3. From the Testing screen, press SENSORS.
4. Trip the sensor (see Table below). The signal level is recorded under the sensor on the Sensors screen.
