After installation is completed, test the system as follows.
1. Call the central station to inform them of the test.
2. Initiate an alarm, preferably on a zone that activates a steady siren, and verify proper signalling.
3. Call the central station to confirm their receipt of a good transmission.
Note: Be sure to test all enabled keypad panics.
Signal Strength Testing/Wireless Systems
To test the operation of wireless transmitters, proceed as follows. (Note: Wireless systems have not been investigated by
UL.)
1. Enter the Fault-Find Mode.
2. Fault a point of the transmitter to be tested by opening the loop. If the signal strength of the transmitter is 3 or
greater, the keypad will beep.
3. Restore the wireless point (close the loop). If the signal strength of the transmitter is 3 or greater, the keypad will
beep.
The transmitter signal strength will be displayed on a scale of 3-10 with 3 considered marginal and 10 considered
excellent. If the signal strength is less than 3, the keypad will not beep and the strength will be displayed. Except in the
Fault-Find Mode, signal strengths less than 3 will be entered into the system log.
