Phone communication test
The purpose of this test is to verify that the connection between the central
monitoring station and your system are working properly.
Most phone tests take only a few minutes, however, your system will try for up to 15
minutes to establish a connection.
To perform a phone test:
1. Press the down arrow until
PHONE TEST
is displayed.
2. Press # to initiate a phone test.
Within five minutes, the panel displays either
TEST PASS
or
TEST FAIL
.
Testing central station communication
After performing sensor and phone tests, check that the system is reporting alarms
successfully to the central station.
To test central station communication:
1. To avoid the dispatch of emergency personnel, call the central station and tell the
operator that you will be testing the system.
2. Arm the system.
3. Test each of the panel keypad and wireless panic buttons and trip at least one
sensor of each type (fire, intrusion, etc.) to verify correct operation.
4. Call the central station to verify all alarms were reported.
