Sensor test

You can test sensors one at a time to make sure they are sending strong signals to
the panel. You should test the sensors at least once a week.
To perform the sensor test:
1. Scroll until the display shows System Test, and then press OK. The display
shows Enter Code.
2. Enter your master code, and then press OK. The display shows Sensor Test.
3. Press OK.
The display shows, for example, Trip SN 1 Front Door and automatically
displays the list of sensors to be tested. The panel sounds six beeps once a minute
while in sensor test mode.
4. Trip the sensor. See Table 14 on page 28 for details on how to trip each device.
When you trip a sensor the display shows, for example, SN 1 Packets = 8
Front Door. You may trip the sensors in any order. As each sensor is heard
from, it is removed from the list of sensors to be tested.
After all sensors have been successfully tested, the display shows SN Test
Complete, Press Status.
5. Press Status. The display shows Sensor Test OK.
After a few seconds, the display shows Sensor Test.
6. Press Status repeatedly to exit.
If any of the sensors did not test successfully and you want to terminate the test,
press Status. The panel displays Sensor Test Fail or Aborted. The display
then shows Sensor Test. Press Status once to exit the system test. If a sensor test
fails, call your security dealer.
