Basic System Commands
Table 8 describes basic touchpad operating commands. For complete details on system operation,
including user programming, refer to the system
User’s Manual
.
Testing Zones/Sensors
Test sensors/zones after all programming is completed, whenever there is a change in environ-
ment, equipment, or programming, and whenever a zone- or sensor-related problem occurs.
If the system does not respond as described in the following procedure, see the “Troubleshoot-
ing” section.
Note
While the sensor test is a
valuable installation and ser-
vice tool, it only tests sensor
operation for the current
conditions. You should per-
form a sensor test after any
change in environment,
equipment, or programming.
1. Place all sensors and zones in their non-alarm state.
2. At an alphanumeric touchpad, enter the sensor test mode by pressing 8 + installer code + 3.
The touchpad sounds one beep and displays
SENSOR TEST
. The panel starts a 15 minute
timer.
3. Trip each zone/sensor one at a time. Touchpads (and interior sirens) should sound one short,
high-pitched beep and the display should show the sensor name (or number) and
OK
.
4. Press the
STATUS
button when you think all zones/sensors are tested. The touchpad displays
any untested sensors/zones and touchpad panics. If all sensors/zones and touchpad panics
have been tested, the display shows
SENSOR TEST OK
.
5. Test any untested zones/sensors and touchpad panics.
Note
If you hear a long, low-
pitched beep, proceed to the
following section “If a Wire-
less Sensor Does Not Test.”
6. The system stays in sensor test mode for 15 minutes. When less than 5 minutes remain,
touchpads and interior sirens beep and the panel announces the remaining time over the
speakers once every minute. After 15 minutes the panel disarms to
OFF
, automatically. If
you need more time to complete the sensor test, press 8 + installer CODE + 3 while the sys-
tem is still in sensor test mode. This restarts the 15 minutes of test time.
