Testing Your Alarms
You must test your security system at least once per week to ensure that it is in working dependably.
Once per month, it is imperative that you do the following:
•
Test your alarm capability
•
Review the signal strength of the TouchScreen to your Internet router and the cellular
receivers (see page 39)
•
Test your connectivity to the Internet and cellular servers (see page 39)
When testing your alarms, you can choose to report your alarms to central monitoring to ensure end-
to-end integrity. By default, the system lets you test the reliability of your alarms without sending a
signal to central monitoring.
To test your alarms:
1.
From the Settings widget (see
Configuring the TouchScreen
on page 5),
touch
Security
Alarm Test
.
The Alarm Test Options screen is displayed.
