The keypads display all zone numbers of wireless units programmed into the system.
As the system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of that
transmitter disappears from the display. The transmitter codes may be checked upon
installation, or in an installed system.
All the wireless zone numbers should disappear after about 90 minutes.
NOTES:
• All BR-type units must physically be activated to clear the display.
• When
one button of a transmitter (RF, UR, or BR) is activated, all zones
assigned to other buttons on that transmitter are cleared. This also applies
to 5816 and 5817 transmitters that have multiple loops (zones).
• Any transmitter that is not “enrolled” will not turn off its zone number.
Exit this mode by keying Installer code + OFF.

GO/NO GO TEST MODE:
By entering Installer code + [#] + 4 on the keypad, a
mode similar to the user Test mode (code + TEST) is entered, but the wireless receiver
gain is reduced. Checking in this mode assists in determining good mounting locations
for the transmitters when the system is being installed, and verifies that the RF
transmission has sufficient signal amplitude margin for the installed system.
Exit this mode by entering
Installer code + OFF.
NOTE:
System Test mode
(code + test) is
automatically terminated
after 4 hours
if the installer or user does not manually terminate it.
This ensures that Fire and Panic zones do remain disabled.
However,
Sniffer mode
(Installer code + [#] + 3)
does not automatically
expire
. You must manually exit (Installer code + OFF) Sniffer mode to return
to normal operation. Sniffer mode also terminates if a user arms the system.
TO THE INSTALLER
Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the installer and frequent testing by the
user are vital to continuous satisfactory operation of any alarm system.
The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and offering a regular maintenance
program to the user as well as acquainting the user with the proper operation and limitations of the
alarm system and its component parts. Recommendations must be included for a specific
program of frequent testing (at least weekly) to ensure the system's proper operation at all times.
