INSTALLER TESTING
When installation and programming is complete, use the
option in the Installer Toolbox to test for proper system
operations.
ACCESS THE INSTALLER TOOLBOX
To access the Installer Toolbox:
1
At the Home screen, press the logo in the lower‐right
corner.
At the Enter a Code screen, enter the installer code
2
(the default installer code is 1561).
The Installer Toolbox (1 of 3) screen appears.
DISABLE/ENABLE STATUS
When testing the Control Panel, both the internal and
external sounder (if installed) will be activated. To limit
noise during the testing process, the Control Panel offers
an option to disable the sounder.
Disable the Sounder
To disable the sounder:
At the Installer Toolbox screen, press Disable Sounder.
1
At the Disable Sounder screen, press OK.
2
NOTE: The internal sounder emits a siren for two (2)
seconds. If an external sounder is connected, four (4)
chirps are emitted.
3
At the Sounder Disabled screen, press OK. The sounder
will be automatically re‐enabled in 30 minutes or you
can manually enable it. See "Enable the Sounder" on
page 68.
While disabled, the Sounder Disabled icon appears in
4
the status bar.

Enable the Sounder
If the sounder is disabled, you can manually re‐enable it as
follows:
At the Installer Toolbox screen, press Enable Sounder.
1
See Figure 56 Enable Sounder button.
2
At the Sounder Enabled screen, press OK.
SENSOR TYPE (ZONE) REPORT TEST
To verify that the Central Station correctly receives reports
from each zone (sensor type):
1
Notify the Central Station. Because the system sends
test signals, notify the Central Station that you will be
testing the system.

wait about 45 seconds for the report to complete, and
then disarm the console.

Verify Tests with Central Station. Check with the
Central Station that each zone (sensor type) was
reported, then inform the Central Station that the
testing is complete.
WALK TEST
Place the Control Panel into Walk Test mode to verify and
test RF reception and signal strength for each sensor. A
Walk Test also checks the Control Panel's indicators and
sounder.
NOTE: Walk Test mode automatically ends after 25
minutes.
Signal Strength Indicators
While the Control Panel's RF receiver is highly‐sensitive,
reception quality can vary at times due to the amount of
background RF noise on the receiver's operating frequency.
To determine the best location for mounting the sensors,
perform a Walk Test to view the signal strength indicators.
To identify sensors with weak signals, perform a Walk Test
to show the signal strength from each sensor's RF
transmission. For best results, it is recommended that you
perform the test and then mount or re‐mount each sensor
in a location showing higher signal strength.
NOTE: Starting Walk Test mode sends a "Start Test" report
to the Central Station. Stopping the Walk Test mode
sends a "Stop Test" report to the Central Station.
