PROGRAMMING MODE 25
Test Mode and Tamper Restore
To activate Mode 25, enter [
∗
][25][Installer’s Code].
Mode 25 is designed to allow the Installer to thoroughly test the system. Mode 25 is also used to restore tamper
zones. When a tamper zone goes into alarm, the system will not recognise the zone as being restored until Mode
25 is activated, even if the tamper zone has been mechanically restored. Note that the Mode 25 Test Mode may
only be used while the system is completely disarmed.
To test the system, enter Mode 25 and then perform a walk test to activate all detection devices on the system. All
eight alarm zones and their trouble zones may be tested. Note that zones programmed as “No Alarm” or
“Probation” will not be tested. Once Mode 25 is entered, the test period will be active for 15 minutes.
Tested zones may be reported to the central station and the local printer. If the reporting option is selected, zones
will be reported when they go into alarm and when they are restored. Each zone will report only one alarm and one
restoral during the test, regardless of how many times the zone is activated during the test.
To use the Mode 25 Test Mode:
• With the system in the “Arm/Disarm” mode, enter [*][25] on the keypad.
• The “Ready” light will FLASH; enter the Installer’s Code.
• The “Ready” light will be OFF and the “Program” light will FLASH.
• To restore the Tamper Zones, press [#]. The Tamper Zones will be restored and the system will return to the
“Arm/Disarm” mode.
• To test the system, select an Audible Indication Option:
0
No audible indication when a zone is tested
1
Siren will sound when a zone is tested
2
Keypad Sounder will sound when a zone is tested
3
Siren and Keypad Sounder will sound when a zone is tested
Enter a number from 0 to 3. If an option from 1 through 3 is selected, it will be displayed on the keypad zone
lights.
• Select a Reporting Option:
0
Start and Stop Test Report Only. A Test Start Code, Test Stop Code and the number of zones not
tested will be reported to the monitoring station.
1
Detailed Test Report. A Test Start Code, Test Stop Code and the alarm and restoral codes for the
zones tested will be reported to the monitoring station during the system test.
• When a Reporting Option is selected, the Zone Lights will come ON to indicate which zones may be tested. The
system will transmit the Test Start Code to the monitoring station.
• After a zone is completely tested - that is, put into alarm and then restored - its Zone Light will be shut OFF. During
the test, the Zone Lights will display the zones that have not yet been tested. To display the status of the trouble
zones, press [*]; the Zone Lights will come ON to indicate which trouble zones have been tested and which trouble
zones have not yet been tested. The status of the trouble zones will be displayed for 1 second, then the keypad
will return to the alarm zone display.
• Once activated, the Mode 25 Test Mode will be active for approximately 15 minutes, or until all zones are tested,
or until the test is stopped by pressing the [#] key. When the test is completed, a Stop Test Code and the number
of zones not tested will be reported to the monitoring station.
