RF Sniffer Test Mode

This mode is used after all transmitters have been entered to check that all transmitters have been properly
programmed. Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. Sniffer mode must be manually exited to return to
normal operation.

Notes: (1) All button-type units must physically be activated to clear the display, since they do not automatically send check-in signals.
(2) When one button of a button type, supervised or unsupervised RF transmitter is activated, all zones assigned to other buttons
on that transmitter are cleared. This also applies to 5816 transmitters that have multiple loops (zones).
(3) Any transmitter that is not "entered" will not turn off its zone number.
(4) For SIA installations, the following devices may be used as specified for panic (24-hour) alarm response:
• wireless keys which have two-button panic pairs available, on which only the two-button panic pairs may be programmed for
any 24-hour alarm response
• wireless keypads (e.g., 5828/5828V) keypads that have a two-second delay on the special function keys, or two-button panic
pairs
• built-in keypad panic key

Go-No-Go Test Mode

Conducting this test with your hand wrapped around the transmitter will cause inaccurate results.
On button type transmitters that have been programmed to set ARM AWAY, ARM STAY, or DISARM, pressing a
button will take the system out of the Go-No-Go Test mode causing the programmed action to occur.
The Go-No-Go tests will verify adequate RF signal strength from the proposed transmitter location, and
allow you to reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary, before mounting the transmitters permanently.
This mode is similar to the transmitter Test mode, except that the wireless receiver gain is reduced. This
will enable you to make sure that the RF signal from each transmitter is received with sufficient signal
amplitude when the system is in the normal operating mode.

1. At the Tools Screen, select "Test". The following options are displayed.
Walk Test
Go-No-Go Test
2. Select "RF Sniffer Test" from the options.
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.
3. The system displays all programmed zone numbers and zone descriptors, which have a
non-zero Zone Type. Fault each transmitter in turn, causing each one to send a signal. As
the system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of that
transmitter disappears from the display. The transmitters may be checked upon installation,
or in an installed system. The system will beep once every 30-40 seconds while the RF
Sniffer Test mode is active.
4. When all transmitters have been checked, Exit RF Sniffer Test mode by depressing the
Home key and entering the Installer or a User Code.
1. At the Tools Screen, select "Test". The following options are displayed.
Walk Test
Go-No-Go Test
2. Select "Go-No-Go Test".
3. Once all transmitters have been placed in their desired locations, and the approximate
length of wire to be run to sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw terminals (if
used), fault each transmitter.
a. The keypad beeps three times indicating signal reception, displays the appropriate
zone number and announced the zone description.
b. If the keypad does not beep, reorient or move the transmitter to another location.
Usually a few inches in either direction is all that is required.
4. If each transmitter produces the proper keypad response when faulted, they can be
permanently mounted according to their respective instructions.
5. The system will beep once every 30-40 seconds while the Go-No-Go Test mode is active.
6. Exit Go-No-Go Test mode by depressing the Home key and entering the Installer or a
User Code.
