Armed Burglary System Test; Testing Wireless Transmitters - Honeywell VISTA-32FBPT Installation And Setup Manual

Armed Burglary System Test

Alarm messages are sent to the central station during the armed tests. Notify the central station that a test will
•
be in progress.
A display of "COMM FAILURE" indicates a failure to communicate (no kissoff by the receiver at the central
•
station). If this occurs, verify that the phone line is connected, the correct report format is programmed, etc.
To perform an armed burglary test, proceed as follows:
Step Action
1 Notify the central station that a test of the system is being performed.
2 Arm the system.
3 Fault one or more zones.
4 Silence alarm sounder(s) each time by entering the code and pressing OFF.
NOTE: The system must be rearmed after each code + off sequence.
5 Check that entry/exit delay zones provide the assigned delay times.
6
Check the keypad-initiated alarms, if programmed, by pressing the panic key pairs (∗ and #, 1 and∗, and/or 3
and #).
The word ALARM and a descriptor "999" are displayed for ∗ and #. If [1] and [∗] are pressed, "995" is
displayed; if [3] and [#] are pressed, "996" is displayed.
7 If the system has been programmed for audible emergency, the keypad emits a loud, steady alarm sound.
Silence the alarm by entering the security code and pressing OFF. If the system has been programmed for
silent panic, there are no audible alarms or displays. A report is sent to the central station, however.
8 Notify the central station that all tests are finished, and verify results with them.

Testing Wireless Transmitters

Transmitter ID Sniffer Mode
Use the Transmitter Sniffer Mode to test that transmitters have all been properly programmed.
If a transmitter does not have its serial number "enrolled," it will not turn off its zone number.
To enter the Transmitter ID Sniffer Mode, proceed as follows:
Step Action
1 Enter Installer Code + [#] + [3]. The keypad displays all zone numbers of wireless units programmed into
the system.
2 Fault each wireless zone, causing each device to transmit.
As the system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of that transmitter
disappears from the display.
3 Enter Installer Code + OFF to exit the Sniffer Mode.
Go/No Go Test Mode (For Burglary Use Only)
This mode assists in determining good mounting locations, and that the RF transmission has sufficient signal amplitude
margin for the installed system.
All partitions with wireless transmitters must be placed in the test mode for RF receiver sensitivity reduction
•
(50%). Otherwise, the RF receiver remains at full strength.
Make sure that all partitions are disarmed for this test.
