Sensor test failure
If sirens do not beep when a sensor is tripped, use an RF Sniffer (60-401) test tool to
verify that the sensor is transmitting. Constant beeps from the RF Sniffer indicate a
faulty sensor. Replace the sensor.
If possible, locate sensors within 100 ft. (30 m) of the panel. While a sensor may have
a range of 500 ft. (152 m) or more out in the open, the environment at the installation
site can have a significant effect on transmitter range. A change in sensor location
may help overcome adverse wireless conditions.
