Testing Procedures; Preparations; Diagnostic Test; Keyfob Transmitter Test - Visonic POWERMAX PRO Installer's Manual

5. TESTING PROCEDURES

Note: The system is intended to be checked by a qualified
technician at least every 3 years.

5.1 Preparations

Make sure all windows and doors are closed and all zones
are secured (undisturbed). If the partition is enabled the
control panel displays the current status of the selected
partition. For example, if the current partition is 3, the
display should read:
P 3 R D Y
If the display is "NOT READY", query the control panel by
pressing the
of the problem(s) will be displayed and read aloud. Take the
necessary measures to eliminate the problem(s) before
testing the system (see next paragraph).

5.2 Diagnostic Test

To verify proper function of all detectors in the system, a
comprehensive diagnostic test is required. To perform this
test, refer to Figure 4.10.

5.3 Keyfob Transmitter Test

Initiate transmission from each transmitter enrolled as a
keyfob unit (according to the list in Table A2, Appendix A).
Use each transmitter to arm the control panel AWAY and
immediately disarm it. Upon pressing the keyfob unit's
AWAY key, the ARM indicator should light.
For example, If the current partition is 3, the display should
respond as follows:
P 3 A R M I N G A W A Y
P 3 P L S E X I T N O W
The exit delay beeps will begin.
Press the keyfob unit's DISARM (
indicator should extinguish, the announcement "Disarm,
ready to arm" should be heard and the display should
revert to:
P 3 R D Y
Test the AUX button in each keyfob in accordance with the
information noted in Table A.2, Appendix A. Verify that the
AUX button performs its duty as programmed.
If the AUX ( ) button is defined as "STATUS", system
status should be displayed and announced upon
pressing the button.
If the AUX ( ) button is defined as "INSTANT" at
partition 3, press the AWAY button and then the AUX
button. The response should be:
P 3 A R M I N S T A N T
(alternating)
P 3 P L S E X I T N O W

6. MAINTENANCE

6.1 Dismounting the Control Panel

A. Release the 2 screws that fasten the front unit to the
back unit (see Figure 3.1H).
B. Remove the 3 screws that fasten the back unit to the
mounting surface (see Figure 3.1A) and remove the
control panel.

and the exit delay beeps will start. Press the DISARM (
key immediately to disarm.
If the AUX ( ) button is programmed as "PGM / X-10"
and permitted to activate one or several X-10 units,
pressing ( ) should activate the appliance controlled by
the chosen X-10 unit(s).
If the AUX ( ) button is programmed as "PGM / X-10"
and permitted to activate the PGM output, pressing ( )
should activate the device wired to the PGM output.

5.4 Appliance ON/OFF Test

The "X-10 unit assignment" information that you noted in
Appendix B of this manual is very useful for this test.
Go over the table in Appendix B column by column. If, for
instance, the "BY ARM AWAY" column has "X"s marked in
the rows pertaining to units 1, 5 and 15 - then arm AWAY
the system and verify that the appliances controlled by
these units are actually activated upon arming.
Continue in the same manner in the following columns,
always creating the state or event that will activate the
relevant units. Verify that all appliances are activated as
programmed.
IMPORTANT! Before testing "BY TIMER" and "BY ZONE",
make sure that these forms of control are permitted - click
repeatedly and verify that the display shows:
B Y T I M E R O N
and:
B Y S E N S O R O N
A dark box at the extreme right means that these functions
are enabled.
The easiest way for test timed activation is to select the
ninth item in the installer's menu ("10. USER SETTINGS")
and set the system clock a few minutes before the relevant
"start time". Do not forget to return the clock to the correct
time after completion of this test.

5.5 Emergency Transmitter Test

Initiate transmission from each transmitter enrolled to an
emergency zone (according to the list in Table A3,
Appendix A). For example, upon pressing the transmit
button of an emergency transmitter enrolled to zone 22 at
partition 1, the display should read:
P1 Z22
(alternating)
P1 Z22
It is advisable to let the central station know that you are
conducting this test, or just disconnect the telephone line from
the PowerMax Pro during the test, to prevent false alarms.

6.2 Replacing the Backup Battery

Replacement and first-time insertion of battery pack is
similar (see Figure 3.1C).
Insert a fresh battery pack, and then tighten the battery
compartment lid; the

blink in the display (caused by the "tamper" alarm you
