Testing the system

Before testing, we recommend that you close the panel cabinet door and the covers
on all modules (mounted outside the cabinet.) The testing environment should match
the system working environment.
You should test the system after installation or service and after adding or removing
devices from the system. See "Cellular backup communication" on page 100 if you do
not achieve correct test results.
