6. Actuate/trip and restore each zone/sensor one at a time
while monitoring the display.

If the system does not respond, or if the sensor does not
meet the minimum requirements, refer to the "If a Wire-

If a Wireless Sensor Fails the Zone/Sensor Test
If system does not beep when a sensor is tripped, place an
ITI RF Sniffer (60-401) test tool near the wireless sensor
when tripping to verify that the sensor is transmitting. Con-
stant beeps from the RF Sniffer indicate a runaway (faulty)
wireless sensor. Remove the sensor battery(s) and replace
the sensor.
If possible, locate wireless sensors within 500 feet of the
panel. While a transmitter may have a range of one mile or
more out in the open, the environment at the installation site
can have a significant effect on transmitter range.
Sometimes a change in sensor location can help overcome
adverse wireless conditions.
To improve wireless sensor communication, you can:
q Reorient the sensor,
q relocate the sensor,
q if necessary, replace the sensor, or
q add additional RF transceivers (up to 5).
To reorient a wireless sensor:
1. Rotate the sensor and test for improved sensor commu-
nication at 90 and 180 degrees from the original posi-
tion.
2. If poor communication persists, relocate the sensor as
described below.

To relocate a wireless sensor:
1. Test the sensor a few inches from the original position.
2. Move the sensor from the original position and retest
until an acceptable location is found.
3. Mount the sensor in the new location.
4. If no location is acceptable, replace the sensor as
described below.
To replace a wireless sensor:
1. Test a known good sensor at the same location.
2. If the transmission beeps remain below the minimum
level, avoid mounting a sensor at that location.
3. If the replacement sensor functions, contact ITI for
repair or replacement of the problem sensor.
To add RF transceiver(s):
Install and wire the RF transceiver module according to the
Installation Instructions included with the module and the
information provided on page 9 of this manual. A total of 5
transceivers may be used.
Testing Outputs and Sirens
All outputs (onboard, SnapCard, output module, and X-10)
should be tested to verify configuration programming.
&$87,21
Inform the central station of the test before activating
outputs that trigger from an alarm condition.
1. Contact the central station to inform them you are test-
ing the system.
2. Verify that all wiring at the panel and output devices is
correct.
3. Activate the appropriate device to trigger each output as
programmed.
4. Verify that each output responds according to the pro-
grammed configuration. For outputs that trigger sirens,
verify that the correct alarm sounds are produced from
these sirens. Table 14 describes the system alarm sounds
you should hear from each alarm event (based on
defaults).
5. Contact the central station when you are finished test-
ing.
