System doesn't respond (in sensor test or when armed) when sensor is tripped.
• Verify that receiver antennas are routed through holes on top of enclosure and
antenna shrouds are installed.
• Check that the wireless sensor batteries are installed.
• Check the sensor batteries for low voltage. Replace batteries if necessary.
• Use an RF Sniffer (60-401) to verify that sensor is transmitting.
