•
The Audio Verify feature must be set to on.
•
The system must be in a non-alarm state.
•
Optional Ring/Hang/Ring feature must be on (default) to work with steps 1 and 2 below.
Otherwise wait for 12 rings and the panel will pick up automatically.
1. The off-site helper calls the panel, lets the phone ring twice, and hangs up.
2. The helper must call the panel again in 10 to 40 seconds. The panel answers
System hello
.
3. The helper dials the following on the phone, # 1234 # 8 (AVM access CODE) 5.
4. The helper should now be able to hear you through the AVM.
5. Walk through the vicinity of the AVM while speaking at a normal conversation level.
6. Tell the helper to dial a 1 and speak to you. To return to listen mode, the helper dials a 3.
7. When testing is complete, have the helper dial 99 and hang up.
To test the module with the central station:
1. Inform the central station that you will be sending an alarm and testing an AVM.
2. Give them the programming selections you made for the panel (see “Audio Verification
Menu” for programming information).
3. Use a touchpad panic button to initiate an auxiliary alarm.
4. The central station operator waits for the alarm to be reported and initiates an audio session.
5. Walk through the vicinity of the AVM while speaking at a normal conversation level.
6. Have the operator speak to you.
7. When testing is complete, the operator will end the session.
Testing Cellular Backup Communication
Perform this test to check the cellular communication between the panel and the central monitor-
ing station.
To test Cellular Communication:
1. Contact the central monitoring station to inform them that you are testing the system.
2. Install and activate the SuperBus 2000 Cellular Backup Module.
3. Verify or change the following CS PHONE 1 panel option settings shown in Table 12.
Note
If the current settings do not
match the test settings,
record the current settings
(Table 12), so that they can
be restored when this test is
complete.
4. Disconnect the phone line by unplugging the Db-8 cord from the RL-31X Jack.
5. Initiate a phone test (8 + System Master Code + 2).
6. The phone test attempt should fail via the phone line within 5 minutes. The panel will emit a
long low tone (and speak “phone failure 1” if so equipped).
7. Wait for the phone test to succeed via the cell backup. The panel should emit a short high
tone (and speak “phone test ok” if so equipped).
8. Verify the CS report.
9. If success does not occur, verify that the signal strength (RSSI) shown on the Cellular
Backup Module is acceptable and repeat steps 5-8.
10. Restore previous CS PHONE 1 settings if needed.
