4.10 System Control
Use this section to perform the following diagnostic tests.
System Test
This test is used to check that the iotega‘s siren and LEDs are operating correctly. This is a hardware test only. No signals
are transmitted to the monitoring station. During the test, the LEDs flash.
Alarm Control Panel Placement Test
This test is used to check the panel location for signal noise that could interfere with the proper operation of the alarm sys-
tem. If the location is good, “No noise” is displayed. If the location has signal noise beyond system tolerance, “noise” is dis-
played.
Walk Test
This mode tests the operation of each detector in the system. While in Walk Test, the Ready, Armed, and Trouble LED's on
the keypad flash to indicate that the test is active.
When a zone is violated during the test, a 2-second tone sounds on all system keypads to indicate that the zone is working
correctly. The system automatically ends the test after 15 minutes without zone activity. An audible warning (5 beeps every
10 seconds) is sounded, beginning 5 minutes before the test ends.
Placement Test
This test is used to determine the RF signal status for wireless devices and can be performed on the installer portal or at the
individual device. For instructions on placement testing at the device, refer to the installation sheet included with the wire-
less equipment.
Two test results are provided:
24 Hour: The iotega displays RF test results from the enrolled device received over a 24 hour period.
Now: The iotega displays RF test results from the last placement test.
Note:
For vanishing door contacts and wireless keys, the device must be triggered in order to get a result.

NA
The device is not registered.
4.10.1 Network
Test Transmission
Ethernet and Cellular test transmissions check to see if the selected communication path between the iotega and the cent-
ral monitoring station is functioning correctly.
Both Ethernet/Cellular 1 (primary receiver) and Ethernet/Cellular 2 (secondary receiver) can be tested separately based on
individual reporting configurations. Test transmissions can also be configured to alternate between primary and secondary
receivers. For details, see "Alternate Test Transmission" on page 24.
Test transmission time and test transmission cycle can be programmed for both primary and secondary receivers. See "Cen-
tral Monitoring Station Programming Options" on page 21 for more details.
