Testing Your System

System Tests
Your security system is only as effective as each of the components. This includes your
sirens, communicator, back up battery, and detection devices.
Each of these should be tested at least once per week and maintained to provide the
highest level of security. Failure to conduct regular testing can result in system failure
when most required.
The four system tests to perform are:
Perform a Walk Test
This is an important test to use regularly to verify that each zone is working correctly.

Perform a Siren Test
The Sirens are used as audible deterrents in the event of your security system activating.
As this test sounds all the audible devices connected to your security system, it is
advisable to notify neighbors and other persons within the premises prior to activating this
test. Using hearing protection is also recommended.
