Performance Verification (PV) Test

After the FELCOM is installed, the installer usually confirms that it is functioning
properly, by logging in and conducting the PV test. This test consists of the

distress alert test.
The results of the test appear on the PV test result display.
The PV test cannot be conducted from an auxiliary terminal unit. Note that the
test can also be initiated by an NCS.
