Testing The System; Armed System Test; Additional Tests - Honeywell Lyric Programming Manual

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 "Home" button is not lit,
select 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 the Home key and entering the Security Code. Check entry/exit delay zones.
2. Check the keypad-initiated alarms that are in the system by selecting the Panic key. If the system
has been programmed for audible emergency, the keypad will emit a steady alarm sound, and
"ALARM" and zone number will be displayed. Silence the alarm by pressing the Home key 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.

Additional Tests

The Test button provides access to several test modes. The system displays the selected Test Mode in the
status bar and beeps every 30-40 seconds.
RF Sniffer Test Mode
This mode is used to verify that all transmitters have been properly programmed. Sniffer Mode does not
automatically expire. You must manually exit Sniffer Mode to return to normal operation.
Go-No-Go Test Mode
Conducting this test with your hand wrapped around the transmitter will cause inaccurate results.
If a button is pressed on a transmitter that has been programmed to set ARM AWAY, ARM STAY, or
DISARM, the system will exit the Go/No Go Test mode and the programmed action will occur.
The Go-No-Go tests is used to verify adequate RF signal strength from the proposed transmitter location, and
allow you to reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary, before mounting the transmitters permanently. This
mode is similar to the RF Sniffer Mode, except that the wireless receiver gain is reduced. This will enable you to
make sure that the RF signal from each transmitter is received with sufficient signal amplitude when the system
is in the normal operating mode.
Walk Test Mode
The Walk Test mode allows each protection point to be checked for proper operation.
Zone Discovery Mode
Zone Discovery Mode requires Installer supervision when in use. The system is not fully operational for fire
or life safety while Zone Discovery Mode is active.
Zone discovery mode can be used to remotely view all zones that have been programmed in the system for
operation. The zones must have a response type programmed and in the case of RF zones, must also have a
serial number programmed. All programmed zones (except for duress) will be displayed.
Programming Field
1. Open each protected door and window and all sensors and listen for three beeps
Walk Test
2. When all protection points have been checked and restored, there should be no zone
from the control, followed by the zone's Voice Descriptor, if it is programmed.
Identification of each faulted protection point should appear on the display. The
display will clear when the zone is restored.
