E. Carry on as in Section 9 of the programming guide.

4.3 Keyfob Transmitter Test

Initiate transmission from each transmitter enrolled as a
keyfob unit (according to the list in Table A2, Appendix A).
Use each transmitter to arm the control panel AWAY and
immediately disarm it. Upon pressing the keyfob unit's
AWAY key, the ARM indicator should light, and the display
should respond as follows:
A R M I N G A W A Y
P L E A S E E X I T N O W
The exit delay beeps will begin.
Press the keyfob unit's DISARM (
indicator should extinguish, the "Happy Tune" (- - - –––)
should sound and the display should revert to:
R E A D Y
Test the AUX button in each keyfob in accordance with the
information noted in Table A.2, Appendix A. Verify that the
AUX button performs its duty as programmed.
If the AUX ( ) button is defined as "STATUS", system
status should be displayed and announced upon
pressing the button.
If the AUX ( ) button is defined as "INSTANT", press
the AWAY button and then the AUX button. The
response should be:
A R M I N G I N S T A N T
(alternating)
P L E A S E E X I T N O W
and the exit delay beeps will start. Press the DISARM
( ) key immediately to disarm.

5. MAINTENANCE

5.1 Dismounting the Control Panel

Remove PowerMax from its bracket (see fig. 3, steps 1-5).

5.2 Replacing the Backup Battery

CAUTION! If you replace rechargeable cells
with alkaline (dry) cells, be sure to install the
battery-type jumper in the "DRY" position.
Failure to do so will result in rapid cell
destruction and leakage (acid leakage may
cause further damage).
Replacement and first-time insertion of cells are similar
(see figure 1). The only difference is the necessity to
remove the old cells and to inspect the battery holder
contacts and springs for signs of corrosion.

) key. The ARM

If the AUX ( ) button is programmed as "PGM / X-10"
and permitted to activate one or several X-10 units,
pressing ( ) should activate the appliance controlled
by the chosen X-10 unit(s).
If the AUX ( ) button is programmed as "PGM / X-10"
and permitted to activate the PGM output, pressing ( )
should activate the device wired to the PGM output.

4.4 Appliance ON/OFF Test

The "X-10 unit assignment" information that you noted in
Appendix B to this manual is very useful for this test.
Go over the table in Appendix B column by column. If, for
instance the "ON by arming" column has "X"s marked in
the rows pertaining to units 1, 5 and 7 - then arm the
system and verify that the appliances controlled by these
units are actually activated upon arming.
Continue in the same manner in the following columns,
always creating the state or event that will activate the
relevant units. Verify that all appliances are activated as
programmed.
IMPORTANT! Before testing "On by Timer" and "On by
Zone", make sure that these forms of control are permitted
- click repeatedly and verify that the display shows:
B Y T I M E R O N
and:
B Y S E N S O R O N
A dark box at the extreme right means that these functions
are enabled.
The easiest way to test timed activation is to select the
ninth item in the installer's menu ("9. USER SETTINGS")
and set the system clock a few minutes before the relevant
"start time". Do not forget to return the clock to the correct
time after completion of this test.

4.5 Emergency Transmitter Test

Initiate transmission from each transmitter enrolled to an
emergency zone (according to the list in Table A3,
Appendix A). For example, upon pressing the transmit
button of an emergency transmitter enrolled to zone 22,
the display should read:
Z 2 2 E M E R G E N C Y
(alternating)
V I O L A T E D
It is advisable to let the central station know that you are
conducting this test, or just disconnect the telephone line
from the PowerMax during the test, to prevent false alarms.
If corrosion is found in the battery holder, clean it first with
a piece of cloth dampened with hot water and then file the
contacts clean until they shine. In extreme cases, the
entire battery holder should be replaced.
With fresh battery cells, correct insertion and tightened
battery compartment lid, the TROUBLE indicator should
extinguish. However, the "MEMORY" message will now
blink in the display (caused by the "tamper" alarm you
triggered when opening the battery compartment lid). Clear
it by arming the system and immediately disarming.
