Test Sensors - LifeShield Home Security Quick Setup Manual

Sensor Not Found/Sensor Not Added
If your system cannot detect a Sensor that you are trying to add, the Handset will display one of the following messages:
If this occurs, follow the steps below.
1. Retry: Using the slot provided on the top of the Sensor,
gently pry the Sensor away from the mounted Bracket.
Follow the Sensor Reset Steps and repeat the instructions
in Section 2
a) separate the Sensor from
the Bracket using slot
If Sensor is still "Not Found," proceed to Step 2.
2. Isolate Sensor: Remove the Sensor from the Bracket and add a
different Sensor to the same Bracket. You can obtain more
troubleshooting instructions in the Troubleshooting section of
the user manual.
If additional Sensors do not work, proceed to Step 3.
3. Re-position the Sensor and Bracket: Reset the Sensor (as shown
above) then move the Bracket and Magnet to a new location (perhaps
just a few inches) up, down or along the door/window frame and retry
4. Move Grid Controller: Move one of your Grid Controllers (Console,
Base or Grid Extender) closer to this Sensor mounting location. The
most practical type of Grid Controller to re-position is most likely the
Grid Extender

Test Sensors

Sensors should be tested to make sure they are installed and working
properly. To test the Sensor installation:
• With the system disarmed, open the door or window. This sepa
rates the Sensor and Magnet and notifies the system.
• This condition will be displayed on the Console and Handset as
<sensor name> "Open."
• You will also hear a chime each time you open and close your door
or window.
