4.18 WALK-TEST

This mode (see Figure 4.1a) provides you with the means to conduct a periodic test, via the walk-test menu, at least once
a week and after an alarm event.

5. TESTING PROCEDURES

5.1 Preparations

Make sure all windows and doors are closed. If all zones
are secured (undisturbed), the display should read:
R E A D Y
If the display is "NOT READY", query the control panel by
pressing the button repeatedly. The source(s) of the
I OK
problem(s) will be displayed and read aloud. Take the
necessary measures to eliminate the problem(s) before
testing the system (see next paragraph).

5.2 Diagnostic Test

To verify proper function of all detectors in the system, a
comprehensive diagnostic test is required. To perform this
test, refer to figure 4.10.

5.3 Keyfob Transmitter Test

Initiate transmission from each transmitter enrolled as a
keyfob unit (according to the list in Table B2, APPENDIX
B). 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.
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 (
should extinguish, the announcement "Disarm, ready to arm"
should be heard and the display should revert to:
R E A D Y

6. MAINTENANCE

6.1 Dismounting the Control Panel

A. Remove the screw that fastens the front unit to the
back unit (see figure 3.1H).
B. Remove the 3 screws that fasten the back unit to the
mounting surface (see figure 3.1A) and remove the
control panel.

6.2 Replacing the Backup Battery

Replacement and first-time insertion of battery pack is
similar (see figure 3.1C).
With fresh battery pack, 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.

Test the AUX button in each keyfob in accordance with the
information noted in Table B2, APPENDIX B. Verify that
the AUX button performs its duty as programmed.

 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

AUX (*) button is defined as "skip exit delay",
press the AWAY button and while you hear the exit
beeps press the AUX button – the exit beeps will be
stopped immediately and the system will be armed
AWAY. Press the DISARM key
disarm the system.

5.4 Emergency Transmitter Test

Initiate transmission from each transmitter enrolled to an
emergency zone (according to the list in Table B3,
APPENDIX B). For example, upon pressing the transmit
button of an emergency transmitter enrolled to zone 22,
the display should read:
Z 2 2
(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 PowerMaxExpress during the test, to prevent false alarms.

6.3 Fuse Replacement

The PowerMaxExpress has an internal fuse that has
automatic reset. Therefore, there is no need to replace fuse.
When over current condition occurs, the fuse cuts off the
circuit current. Upon fault current being removed for
several seconds, the fuse is automatically reset and allows
current flow through the circuit again.

6.4 Replacing/Relocating Detectors

Whenever maintenance work involves replacement or re-
location of detectors, always perform a full diagnostic test
according to par. 4.10.
Remember! A "poor" signal is not acceptable, as stated at
the end of the test procedure.
