Testing The System; Test Modes; Armed System Test - Honeywell Lyric LCP300-L Installation And Reference Manual

Testing the System

Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the installer and frequent testing by the user are
vital to continuous satisfactory operation of any alarm system.
The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and offering a regular maintenance program to
the user as well as acquainting the user with the proper operation and limitations of the alarm system and its
component parts. Recommendations must be included for a specific program of frequent testing (at least
weekly) to ensure the system's proper operation at all times.

Testing the System

After installation is completed, the security system should be carefully tested, as follows:
Step
1. With the system in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact. If the Status Shield is not lit
green, select the "Security" icon on the Smart Device followed by the "Zones" icon to display the
faulted zone(s). If necessary, restore faulted zone(s) so that the "Home" button lights. Fault and
restore every sensor individually to assure that it is being monitored by the system.

Armed System Test

Alarm messages will be sent to the Central Station during the following steps 1 and 2. Notify the Central Station
in advance that tests will be in progress.
Step
1. Arm the system and fault one or more zones. Silence alarm sounder(s) and disarm the system by
selecting "Disarmed" and entering the Security Code. Check entry/exit delay zones.
2. Check the keypad-initiated alarms that are in the system by selecting "Emergency" followed by
applicable Panic keys. If the system has been programmed for audible emergency, the keypad will
emit a steady alarm sound, and "Alert" will flash red. In addition, "ALARM" and zone number will be
displayed on Smart Device. Silence the alarm by selecting "Disarmed" and entering the Security
Code. If the system has been programmed for silent emergency, there will be no audible alarms or
displays, but a report will be sent to the Central Station.
3. Notify the Central Station when all tests are finished, and verify results with them.
4. To test the wireless part of the system and the RF receiver, perform the RF Sniffer Mode and Go-No-
Go Tests.
NOTE: System Test mode and Go/No Go Test will be automatically terminated after 3-1/2 to 4 hours if the
installer or user does not manually terminate it. This ensures that fire and panic zones will not remain
disabled. However, Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. You must manually exit Sniffer mode by
selecting the Home key and entering the Master Code, to return to normal operation. During the final 5
minutes the system will emit double beeps indicating that the end of Test mode is nearing.
