TESTING THE SYSTEM
Testing Your 1. Open and close each protected door and window in turn and listen for three beeps. The
System identification of each faulted protection point should appear on the display.
2. Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps as
movement is detected. The identification of the detector should appear on the display when
it is activated.
NOTE: Wireless motion detectors activate only once in a 3-1/2 minute period to conserve
battery life.
3. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to test all smoke detectors to ensure that all are
functioning properly. The identification of each detector (or the zone number of the zone
assigned to the detector) should appear on the display when each is activated.
4. When all protection points have been checked, there should be no zone identification
numbers displayed. If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no confirming
sounds, no display), CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
5. Turn off Test mode by entering the security code and pressing the OFF key.
