Sensor testing
Test the sensors after all programming is completed and
whenever a sensor-related problem occurs.
Note:
While the sensor test is a valuable installation and
service tool, it only tests sensor operation for the current
conditions. You should perform a sensor test after any
change in environment, equipment, or programming.
Notify the central station you will be performing a test prior
to starting the test.
To test the sensors:
1. Place all sensors in their secured (non alarm) state.
2. Scroll to Sensor Test options under the System Tests
menu, and then press OK.
The panel will prompt you to trip each sensor one at a
time. You may follow the panel prompting or test the
sensors in any order. See Table 7 below for specific
instructions on how to trip each sensor type.
Interior sirens sound transmission beeps, and the
display identifies the tripped sensor and the number of
RF packets received. The system will continue to
prompt for sensors that have not yet been tested.
When all sensors have been tested, the display shows
SN Test Complete Press Status
.
3. Press
Status.
The display shows
Sensor Test OK
.
If you press Status and the panel has not heard from all
sensors, the display shows
SN Test Fail or
Aborted
.

To test communication with the central station:
1. Call the central station and tell the operator that you
will be testing the system.
2. Arm the system.
3. Test each of the wireless panic buttons and trip at least
one sensor of each type (fire, intrusion, etc.) to verify
that the appropriate alarms are working correctly.
