You should test the system periodically. The system contains a test mode that allows you to test
sensors without creating false alarms in monitored systems.
Refer to "Appendix A: Troubleshooting" on page 16 if correct test results are not achieved.
Automatic Test Features
Your security system conducts routine tests, checking for problems like power failures, low bat-
teries, sensors that aren't working, and communication trouble with the central monitoring sta-
tion.
When your system detects a problem, trouble beeps sound to alert you. See "Trouble Beeps and
Trouble Messages" on page 14 and "Trouble Beeps" on page 22 for an explanation of the causes
of trouble beeps and what you can do to fix the problem.
Manual Tests
There are also weekly system tests you can do yourself as an added safeguard. Taking time to do
these tests will familiarize you with your system and alert you to anything unusual, such as sen-
sors that have been tampered with.
Sensor Test
This test verifies that the sensors in your system are operating correctly. We recommend that you
test sensors/zones once weekly.
