D. Push the module all the way in, making sure that the
4-pin socket mates with the 4-pin header at the bottom.
Note: When the module is properly seated, the module
catches that were pushed aside during insertion spring
back into place above the top edge of the module.
E. Prepare an RS-232 flat modular cable and terminate it
with a 6-position RJ-11 plug at the PowerMax end.

4.1 Preparations

Make sure all protected windows and doors are closed. If
all zones are secured (undisturbed), the display should
read:
H H : M M
R E A D Y
If the system is "NOT READY", query the control panel by
pressing the <SHOW/OK>
source(s) of the problem(s) will be displayed and read
aloud. Take the necessary measures to eliminate the
problem(s) before testing the system (see 4.2 below).

4.2 Diagnostic Test

To verify proper function of all detectors in the system, a
comprehensive diagnostic test is required. To perform this
test, you must access Item No. 8 in the installer's menu
the same way as you did when you programmed the
control panel:
A. Click the <NEXT> button until the display reads:
I N S T A L L E R M E N U
B. Click <OK> to select the installer's menu. The control
panel will prompt you for the installer code.
C. Enter the valid installer code (9 9 9 9) or the new
installer code that you already programmed). The
"Happy Tune" (- - - ––––) will sound if the code is
correct and the display will change to:
I N S T A L L E R M E N U
D. Click <NEXT> or <BACK> until the number and name
of the desired mode will be displayed:
8 . D I A G N O S T I C S
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
and the exit delay beeps will begin.
Press the keyfob unit's DISARM key. The ARM indicator
should extinguish, the "Happy Tune" (- - - –––) should
sound and the display should revert to:
R E A D Y H H : M M
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.

Terminations at the computer's end may vary.
F. Mate the plug with the RJ-11 socket and bend the cable
backward to pass it out via the wiring channel.
G . Re-attach the control panel to the bracket, as
instructed in Para. 3.6.
If the AUX button is defined as "STATUS", system
status should be displayed and announced upon
pressing the AUX 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
The
(alternating)
P L E A S E E X I T N O W
and the exit delay beeps will start. Press DISARM
immediately to disarm.
If the AUX button is programmed as "PGM / X-10" and
permitted to activate one or several X-10 units,
pressing the AUX button 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 AUX
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 alarm" column has "X"s marked in
the rows pertaining to units 1, 5 and 7 - then initiate an
alarm and verify that the appliances controlled by these
units are actually activated upon alarm.
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 types 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:
DE5450
