bell test, enter [ ][4] on the keypad.

Weekly Testing

It is recommended that you test your system weekly.
1 Disarm the system and ensure that the "Ready" light is ON.
2 Perform a Bell Test by entering [ ][4]. The bell or siren will sound for 2 seconds and all of the lights
on the keypad will come ON.
3 Activate each sensor on your system in turn. For example, open protected doors and windows, and
walk in areas protected by motion detectors. Each Zone Light should come ON when each zone is
activated. Each Zone Light will be shut OFF when the zone is restored to normal (when the door or
window is shut, or when motion stops in areas protected by motion detectors).

alarm; the [P] key may be programmed as silent or audible. If an alarm sounds, enter an Access Code
to silence the alarm.

Maintenance

With normal use, your system requires a minimum of maintenance. The following points should be
observed:
1 Do not wash the keypad with a wet cloth, and do not use household cleaners, such as glass cleaners,
on the keypad. Light dusting with a cloth slightly dampened with plain water should remove normal
accumulations of dust.
2 For other system devices such as passive infrared, ultrasonic or microwave motion detectors,
glassbreak detectors and so on, consult the manufacturer's literature for testing, cleaning and
maintenance instructions.
3 It is recommended that the back-up battery be replaced every three years. Contact your installing
company for information on replacing the battery.
