7. Press DONE. The panel announces, Sensor Test OK.
8. If Cancel or DONE is pressed and the panel has not heard from all sensors, the panel will
respond, Sensor test canceled or failure.
Improving Sensor/Panel Communication
Antenna
The panel antenna can be put into the wall to increase the panel RF range.
If a Sensor Fails the Sensor Test
If sirens do not beep when a sensor is tripped, use an RF Sniffer (60-401) test tool to verify that
the sensor is transmitting. Constant beeps from the RF Sniffer indicate a runaway (faulty) sensor.
Replace the sensor.
If possible, locate sensors within 30.5 meters of the panel. While a sensor may have a range of
152.5 meters or more out in the open, the environment at the installation site can have a signifi-
cant effect on transmitter range. A change in sensor location may help overcome adverse wireless
conditions and can be accomplished by the following:
•
relocate the sensor
•
if necessary, replace the sensor
¾
To relocate a sensor
1. Test the sensor a few centimeters from the original position.
2. Increase the distance from the original position and retest until an acceptable location is
found.
3. Mount the sensor in the new location.
4. If no location is acceptable, replace the sensor.
¾
To replace a sensor
1. Test a known good sensor at the same location.
2. If the transmission beeps remain below the minimum level, avoid mounting a sensor at that
location.
3. If the known-good sensor functions, contact GE Interlogix for repair or replacement of the
problem sensor.
Phone Communication
Perform a phone test to check the phone communication between the panel and the central sta-
tion.
