Walk Test
Radio quality can vary when there is background noise on
the operating frequency. Examples of background noise
sources include telephones, microwaves, high-frequency
digital products, and other radio communications.
To determine the best location to mount each sensor, it is
recommended that you place each sensor in the desired
mounting location and then perform a Walk Test. This
helps you to identify whether the desired location has
good/weak signal strength. When you find a location with
good signal strength, you can then mount the sensor .
To place the panel into Walk Test mode:
At the Installer Toolbox (1 of 2) screen, tap Walk Test .
1.
NOTE: When placing the Control Panel into Walk Test
mode, you have 25 minutes to complete the test before
the screen times out. The system also sends a "Start Test"
report to the Central Station and beeps once every 30
seconds. During the last five (5) minutes of the test, the
system beeps two (2) times every 30 seconds and the
icon flashes in the status bar.
