PowerMaster-360 panel is communicating at the same time.
Periodic testing
The components of the security system are designed to be maintenance-free as much as possible.
It is mandatory to test the system at least once a week, and after an alarm event, to verify that all
system sirens, detectors, keyfobs, keypads, and other peripherals function properly. Proceed as
described in this section and if there is any problem, notify your installer at once.
The test is performed in four parts as follows:
1. Siren test: Each siren of the system is automatically activated for 3 seconds (outdoor sirens
with low volume). In addition, the system tests the siren of enrolled smoke sensors.
2. Temp/light test: For devices with temperature sensing, the panel displays the temperature of
each zone in Celsius or Fahrenheit. For devices that have both temperature and light sensing,
the panel displays the temperature and light intensity of each zone.
