Press DONE. The panel announces, Sensor Test OK.
8.
If Cancel or DONE is pressed and the panel has not heard from all sensors, the
panel will respond, Sensor test canceled or failure.
Improving Sensor/Panel Communication
Antenna
The panel antenna can be put into the wall to increase the panel RF range.
!
Do not do this for installations that require antenna tamper for external
antennas.
Caution
!
If a Sensor Fails the Sensor Test
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
runaway (faulty) sensor. Replace the sensor.
If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet of the panel. While a sensor may have a
range of 500 feet 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 and can be accomplished by the following:
•
reposition the sensor
•
relocate the sensor
•
if necessary, replace the sensor
¾ To reposition a sensor
1.
Rotate the sensor and test for improved sensor communication at 90 and 180
degrees from the original position.
2.
If poor communication persists, relocate the sensor.
¾ To relocate a sensor
1.
Test the sensor a few inches from the original position.
2.
Increase the distance from the original position and retest until an acceptable loca-
tion is found.
3.
Mount the sensor in the new location.
4.
If no location is acceptable, replace the sensor.
¾ To replace a sensor
1.
Test a known good sensor at the same location.
2.
If the transmission beeps remain below the minimum level, avoid mounting a sen-
sor at that location.
3.
If the known-good sensor functions, contact GE Interlogix for repair or replace-
ment of the problem sensor.
Phone Communication
Perform a phone test to check the phone communication between the panel and the
central station.
¾ * To perform a phone test or Downloader (DL) phone test
1.
Open the panel cover.
2.
Enter the appropriate access code.
3.
Press Test twice to perform a phone test
