Your security system is made up of different components, brought together to
produce a very powerful, yet easy to use security system. These components
are your sirens, communicator, back up battery and detection devices. All these
different components require regular testing and maintenance in order for them
to remain in peak operational performance. These components can be tested
from this menu, and should be scheduled for a weekly test. Failure to conduct
regular testing can result in system failure when most required. The four
available system tests are:-
1. Siren Test
The Sirens are used as audible deterrents in the event of your security system
activating. As this test sounds all the audible devices connected to your security
system, it is advisable to notify neighbours and other persons within the
premises prior to activating this test.
2. Communicator Test
The Communicator is located within your security system. The communicator, (if
enabled), is the device that communicates with a central station who analyse all
the incoming alarm signals and engage the appropriate responses / services
dependant on the type of alarm signals received. Alternatively the communicator
can be enabled to call an alternate phone number, like a mobile phone, this is
sometimes called self-monitoring or domestic dialing. When testing your
communicator, no sirens will sound and a test message will be sent to the
central station for confirmation of the test. If self monitored, the person
answering the number programmed in your security system will hear a siren
sound when they answer the phone. Contact the central station and any person
whose phone numbers are programmed in the system prior to activating this the
communicator test. The communicator test is only available if your security
system has been setup to dial a central station, or enabled for domestic dialing.
