Performing A Siren - Interlogix ZEROWIRE ZW-6404 Installation Manual

Performing 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 neighbours and other persons within the premises prior to activating this
test. Using hearing protection is also recommended.

Performing a Battery Test
The backup battery is located on the rear of the ZeroWire behind a cover. It provides
temporary power to the ZeroWire when mains power is not available. This may occur
during a power outage or an intruder cutting power to a property.
The ZeroWire will automatically test the battery each day. If the battery fails then your
system can no longer protect your property in a power outage. This is why replacing it
when needed is very important.
The battery is a consumable part of the system and should be replaced every 5 years or
when the battery test fails (whichever is sooner). Contact your service provider for
replacement parts.

Performing a Communicator Test
The communicator is a part of the ZeroWire responsible for sending alarm messages. The
communicator test is only available if your security system has been set up to report to a
central monitoring station. Proper operation of this is very important for alarm reporting.
When testing your communicator, no sirens will sound and a test message will be sent to
the central monitoring station.
