7. Testing the system
Periodic test
The components of your security system are designed to be maintenance-free as much as possible.
Nevertheless, it is mandatory to test the system at least once a week and after an alarm event to verify that all
system sirens, detectors, keyfobs, keypads and other peripherals function properly. Proceed as described in this
section and if there is any problem, notify your installer at once.
The test is performed in four parts:
Siren Test: Each siren of the system is automatically activated for 3 seconds (outdoor sirens with low volume).
In addition, the system tests the siren of enrolled smoke sensors.
Temp/Light Test: For devices with temperature sensing, the panel displays the temperature of each zone in
Celsius or Fahrenheit. For devices that have both temperature and light sensing, the panel displays the
temperature and light intensity of each zone.
Other Device Test: Each of the other devices in the system is activated by the user and the display indicates
which devices were not yet tested. The "it's me" indication helps to identify the untested devices if necessary.
A counter also indicates the number of devices that remain untested.
Email Test: Generates an event to be sent to the predefined private email addresses (see Chapter 4,
section B.12)
Carefully read the section titled "Additional Information" according to the indicated references
see table at end of this section.
