Linear Security DVS 2400 User Manual

TEST MODE
• Even though this is a self-monitoring supervised system, the National Burglar and Fire Alarm
Association recommends that all security systems should be tested manually on a regular basis.
• The Console must be in Off Mode before going to Test Mode.
• Switch the Console into Test Mode by entering a user code and pressing [ TEST ].
• When the system is switched to the Test Mode, the Console will sound a "Gong" and four "Beeps".
• Holding down the [ TEST ] button will light all of the Console's indicators.
• The sensor status lights will flash for each sensor programmed into the Console.
• Go to each sensor and press its test button or open and close the protected opening.
• To test the wireless keypad, press the [ (A) ] key.
• The Console will make a "bing" sound as each sensor is tested.
• As each sensor is tested, the sensor status light for the sensor will stop flashing and return to showing
the current status of the sensor.
• Continue testing until there are no flashing status lights.
NOTE: If the Console is left unattended in Test Mode, it will automatically switch back to Off
Mode after 3 minutes.
SYSTEM TROUBLE INDICATIONS
• The DVS-2400 Console is a self-monitoring supervised wireless system.
• If the Console detects a problem with any of the supervised system sensors or backup battery, it
will display the appropriate trouble indication and, if monitored, report the trouble to the Central
Station through the communicator (depending on communicator programming).
CONSOLE LOW BATTERY
• The Console constantly charges and monitors the optional backup battery (if installed).
• If the backup battery condition is abnormal, the Console's POWER light will indicate the
trouble.
• The POWER indicator normally glows when AC power is on.
• With a charged backup battery installed, if the Console looses AC power, the POWER
indicator will dim as the Console runs on the backup battery.
• If the backup battery is low, recharging, or not installed, the POWER indicator blinks when
AC power is present.
• If the AC power is off and no backup battery is installed, the POWER indicator will be off (in
this case the system has no power and is disabled).
• Normal battery life for the type of backup battery used in the Console is 5-7 years. If the
battery does not take a charge in 72 hours, it should be replaced.
SENSOR LOW BATTERIES
• When the BATTERIES indicator on the Console blinks, one or more sensors have a low
battery.
• Press [ ∗ ] for one second to view sensor status. Sensor status indicator for any sensor with a
low battery will light along with the BATTERIES indicator. Any trouble indications will follow
during the five second status cycle.
• Replace the sensor's battery as described in their instructions.
• Switch to Test Mode after replacing the sensor battery and completely test the system (see
Test Mode). Switching to Test Mode clears the low battery indication.
SENSOR RADIO TROUBLE
• When the TROUBLE indicator blinks, one or more sensors have not reported status during
the eight hour status time window.
• Press [ ∗ ] for one second to view sensor status. The sensor status indicator for any sensor
that has not reported in will light along with the TROUBLE indicator. Any low battery
indications will follow during the five second status cycle.
• Switch to Test Mode after servicing the sensor and completely test the system (see Test
Mode). Switching to Test Mode clears the trouble indication.
