Trouble Conditions

1. Alarm messages will be sent to the central station during the following tests.
Notify the central station that a test will be in progress.
2. A display of "COMM. FAILURE" indicates a failure to communicate (no Kissoff
by the receiver at the central station after the maximum number of
transmission attempts is tried). If this occurs, verify that the phone line is
connected, the correct report format is programmed, etc.
1. Arm the system and fault one or more zones. Silence alarm sounder(s) each
time by entering the code and pressing OFF. Check that Entry/Exit delay
zones provide the assigned delay times.
2. Check the keypad-initiated alarms, if programmed, by pressing the Panic
keys (* and #, 1 and *, and/or 3 and #). If the system has been programmed
for audible emergency, the keypad will emit a loud, steady alarm sound. The
word ALARM and a descriptor "999" will be displayed for * and #. (if 1 and *
are pressed, a "995" will be displayed; if 3 and # are pressed, a "996" will be
displayed). Silence the alarm by entering the security code and pressing OFF.
If the system has been programmed for silent panic, there will be no audible
alarms or displays. A report will be sent to the central station, however.
2. Notify the central station that all tests are finished and verify results with
them.
