Local diagnostics test
About this task:
After power-up or closing the cover, the device automatically enters Test Mode for 15 minutes. To
manually enter the devices into Test Mode refer to the Control Panel Installer Guide.
1. Before you start the test, remove the device cover from the base. See Figure 4.
2. Close the cover to return the tamper switch to its normal position.
3. Momentarily open the door or window and verify the red LED blinks, indicating detection.
After 2 seconds one of the LEDs blinks three times.
The following table displays the received signal strength indication.

Important:
Reliable reception must be assured. Therefore, poor signal strength is not
acceptable. If you receive a poor signal from the device, relocate it and re-test until a
strong signal strength is received .
Note:
It is recommended to have a strong signal strength and you must verify the
signal strength using the control panel's diagnostic test. For detailed Diagnostics Test
instructions, refer to the control panel installer guide.
