About Test Procedures
After the installation is complete, you should perform the following tests:
System Test:
Dialer Test:
Go/No Go Test:
Sensor Sniffer Mode: Allows one-man walk test of entire system.
Battery Tests:
System Test
With the system in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact (not faulted). Doors and
windows with contacts should be closed, PIRs should be covered (use a cloth to mask them
temporarily if necessary). If a "NOT READY" message is displayed, press [∗] to display the faulted
zone(s). Restore faulted zone(s) if necessary, so that the "READY" message is displayed.
1. Enter Installer Code + 5 [ TEST ] , then press "0" at the prompt to start Walk Test mode.
1=DIAL, 0=WALK
The following will be displayed:
TEST IN PROGRESS
A Contact ID report will also be sent (code 607)
2. Upon entering the system test mode, the outside sounder should sound for 1 second.
If the backup battery is discharged or missing, the sounder may not turn on and a "LOW
BATTERY" report will be transmitted with a "TEST" report.
The keypad will beep once per minute as a reminder that the system is in the Test mode.
NOTE: Wireless motion detectors (Passive Infrared units) will send signals out only if they have
been inactive for 3 minutes from their prior transmission (conserves battery life).
3. Test all sensors using the procedure described in the User's Guide "Testing the System" section.
4. After checking sensors, turn off the test mode by entering installer code + OFF.
NOTE: Test mode automatically ends after 4 hours. During the final 5 minutes (after 3 hours 55
minutes of Test mode), the keypad emits a double-beep every 30 seconds to alert that the end of
Test mode is nearing.
Checking Zones Using One-Man Walk Test (Sniffer Mode)
Use this mode to test all zones (wired and wireless) that have been programmed. Make sure all
partitions are disarmed before trying to enter this mode, since this is a system-wide command.
1. Press [Installer code] + [#] + 3.
NOTE: If the communicator is in the process of sending a report to the central station, the
system will not go into the Sniffer mode. If so, wait a few minutes, and try again.
The keypads in all partitions will display all zone numbers (in all partitions) programmed in the
system. Fault each zone in turn, causing each one to send a signal. As the system receives a
signal from each of the zones, the corresponding zone number disappears from the display.
2. After all zones have been checked, exit the Sniffer Mode by keying [Installer code] + OFF.
IMPORTANT: Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. You must manually exit Sniffer Mode
(by entering [Installer code] + OFF) to return to normal operation.
Checks that all zones have been installed properly.
Checks that the phone connection to the central station is working properly.
Checks that transmissions can be received from transmitters. Should be
performed before permanently mounting transmitters.
Automatic battery tests are performed by the system. See Automatic Battery
Test paragraph for details.
