• Any transmitter that is not "enrolled" will not turn off its zone number.
Exit this mode by keying [Installer code] + [1] OFF.
b. GO/NO GO TEST MODE The Go/No Go Tests verify adequate RF signal strength from the
proposed transmitter location. They allow you to reorient or relocate transmitters, if necessary,
before mounting the transmitters permanently. This mode is similar to the Transmitter Test
mode, except that the wireless receiver gain is reduced. This enables you to make sure that the
RF signal from each transmitter is received with sufficient signal amplitude when the system is
in the normal operating mode.
1. With at least one 2-line alpha keypad (6139) connected to the system, enter Installer code +
# + 4 on the keypad.
2. After you have placed transmitters in their desired locations and have run the approximate
length of wire from the sensors to the transmitter's screw terminals (if used), fault each
transmitter. Do not conduct this test with your hand wrapped around the transmitter, as this
causes inaccurate results.
NOTE: On button-type transmitters whose buttons have been set to Arm-AWAY, Arm-STAY, or
Disarm, pressing a button takes the system out of the Go/No Go Test mode and cause that
action.
number.
few inches in either direction are all that is required.
3. If each transmitter produces the proper keypad response when it is faulted, you can then
permanently mount each of the transmitters according to the instructions provided with them.
4. Exit the Go/No Go test mode by entering 4112 (the Installer code) + OFF.
NOTE: System Test mode ([Installer code] + [5] TEST) is automatically terminated after 4 hours if the installer or
user does not manually terminate it. This ensures that fire and panic zones will not remain disabled. However, Sniffer
mode ([Installer code] + [#] + [3]) does not automatically expire. You must manually exit ([Installer code] + [1] OFF)
Sniffer mode to return to normal operation. Sniffer mode also terminates if a user arms the system.
Exit Error Alarm Displays (if programmed)
•
A display of CANCELED ALARM or CA and a zone indication appears if an exit or interior zone contained a fault
during closing at the time the Exit Delay ended (e.g., exit door left open), but the system was disarmed during the
Entry Delay time. The alarm sounder and keypad sound continuously, but stop when the system is disarmed. No
message is transmitted to the Central Station.
•
A display of EXIT ALARM or EA and a zone indication appears when the Exit Delay ends if an exit or interior zone
contained a fault during closing. The alarm sounder and keypad sound continuously until the system is disarmed (or
timeout occurs). An "Exit Alarm" message is sent to the Central Station.
•
The EXIT ALARM display and zone indication also results if an alarm from an exit or interior zone occurs within 2
minutes after the end of an Exit Delay.
In any of the above cases, use a second Off sequence (code plus OFF key) to clear the display.
Trouble Condition Displays
The word CHECK on the keypad's display, accompanied by a rapid beeping at the keypad, indicates that there is a
trouble condition in the system. Pressing any key silences the audible warning sound. A Trouble report is sent to the
Central Station, if programmed. Instruct users to call for service immediately upon seeing any of the following messages.
(See Section 24: Troubleshooting Guide also.)
CHECK and BATTERY Displays
•
A display of CHECK and one or more zone numbers indicates that a problem exists with the displayed zone(s) and
requires attention in the disarmed state for the following conditions:
•
If control senses a high resistance in the loops on hardwired zones 2–6 it displays CHECK and the affected zone
number.
•
A display of CHECK and 09 indicates that communication between control and a zone expander or wireless receiver
is interrupted. Check the wiring and/or DIP switch settings on the units.
•
If there are wireless sensors in the system, the CHECK condition may also be caused by some change in the
environment that prevents the receiver from receiving signals from a particular sensor.
13–2
a. The keypad beeps three times to indicate signal reception and display the appropriate zone
b. If the keypad does not beep, re-orient or move the transmitter to another location. Usually a
