Testing the Installation
Using an Unregistered 7835C to Test the Installation
An unregistered 7835C can send three types of test messages: unvalidated, validated, and test registration.
Refer to the table below.
Unvalidated Test Message
Use this to test the path from the 7835C to the cell.
SINGLE click the tamper switch to send a test message
to the local cell. The RSSI bar graph displays how well the
7835C is receiving this cell. Read the RSSI display from
left to right: If the yellow and the next two green LEDs are
illuminated, the display is read as "three bars."
yellow and the next two green LEDs are lit solid with the
following green LED flashing, the display is read as "three
and a half bars." This is a stronger received signal than the
previous example. Refer to the Full Scale RSSI Display
diagram on the previous page.
Validated Test Message
Use this to test the path from the 7835C to AlarmNet and
back to the 7835C.
DOUBLE click the tamper switch to send a test
message to AlarmNet with a validation request. The yellow
radio status LED blinks rapidly while waiting for
validation. Validation is a low priority receipt from
AlarmNet to the 7835C and may take several minutes to
receive. If a message is not validated by AlarmNet within
90 seconds, the 7835C will retransmit the test message and
wait for validation.
NOTE: When a good test message is sent from the 7835C, it can be assumed with a high degree certainty
that it reached AlarmNet without waiting for validation
To cancel any test message, SINGLE click the tamper switch.
Test Registration
Use this to test the path from the 7835C to AlarmNet, then to the central station, and back to the 7835C.
This confirms the radio's programming and routing across the AlarmNet network without actually
registering it.
NOTE: Quick Start Programming Options 2, 3, and 4 must be programmed to use this feature.
Use the "T" command on the 7720P to initiate test registration. Refer to section 5 for a detailed description
of this feature
