Testing the System
– 21 –
System Test
We recommend that you test your system once a week using the
following procedure:
If your system is monitored, contact your central station before you
perform this test.
1.
Turn your security system on.
2.
Wait until your exit time is over and then activate the system by
opening a protected zone (for example, a window or door).
3.
Confirm that the alarm sounding device (bell or siren) sounds. If
your system is connected to a central station, the keypad sounds
the ringback tone to confirm that the signal was received.
4.
Turn the security system off.
5.
Call the central station to tell them you are finished testing.
Battery Test
We recommend that you test your battery once a month. To test your
backup/standby battery, follow this procedure.
1.
Remove main power from the system.
2.
Observe that the AC indicator light on the keypad goes off.
3.
Activate your alarm by performing the above SYSTEM TEST.
Remember to contact your central station if your system is
monitored.
4.
Restore main power to the security system.
If you have any further questions about the operation of your system,
please contact your alarm company.
