5. PERIODIC TEST
5.1 General Guidance
This mode provides you with the means to conduct a periodic test of all system sirens, detectors, keyfobs, keypads,
repeaters and other peripheral devices, via the "PERIODIC TEST" menu, at least once a week and after an alarm event.
When you are instructed to perform a periodic test, walk throughout the site to check the detectors / sensors (except for
Temperature Sensors). When a detector/sensor is triggered into alarm, its name, number and the alarm reception level
should be indicated (for example, "Bathroom", "Z19 strong") and the buzzer should sound according to the alarm
reception level (1 of 3). Each device should be tested according to the device Installation Instructions.
To enter the "PERIODIC TEST" menu and to conduct a periodic test, proceed as follows:

5.2 Conducting a Periodic Test
The PowerMaster 360 enables you to conduct the periodic test in five parts:
Siren Test: Each siren of the system is automatically activated for 3 seconds (outdoor sirens with low volume).
Temperature Sensor Test: When Temperature Sensors are enrolled in the system, the Virtual Keypad displays the
temperature of each zone in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Test all devices: All devices are tested.
Other Device Test: Each of the other devices in the system is activated by the installer and the display indicates which
devices were not yet tested. The "it's me" indication helps to identify the untested devices if necessary. A counter also
indicates the number of devices that remain untested.
Email Test: Generates an event to be sent to the predefined private email addresses.

You can test wireless sirens and strobes and sirens of smoke sensors.
To initiate the siren test, press
zone location assigned to the siren that is currently being tested.
The first siren enrolled in the panel sounds for 3 seconds after which the PowerMaster 360
system will automatically repeat the procedure for the next siren enrolled in the system until all
sirens are tested. You should listen to the sirens sounds and make sure that all sirens sound.
Once all the sirens have been tested, the control panel will now test the sirens of smoke
sensors that are enrolled in the alarm system. The display now reads "Zxx: SMOKE SIREN",
where "Zxx" indicates the zone number of the smoke sensor, and alternates with "<OK> TO
CONTINUE". During this time, the siren of the tested smoke sensor will sound for up to one
minute.
Press
