13.4 Testing Sensors
Each sensor learned into the Console should be tested. When a sensor
is tested, the Console will announce the type of sensor, the zone number,
and the RF signal level.
✲
IMPORTANT! AFTER CONSOLE INSTALLATION, PORTABLE SENSORS
SHOULD BE TESTED BY THE DEALER OR INSTALLER IN VARIOUS
PLACES ON-LOCATION TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTIVE RADIO
RAN
G
E OF THE SYSTEM.
Refer to the General Performance Tips illustration below for examples of
materials that will affect sensor range.
Use the following steps to test each system sensor.
1.
Press and release the
TEST
button (located recessed on the bottom
of the Console). The Console will announce:
0
“Test Mode... fi rmware version [number]...

announce:
0
“[Fire, Activity, Emergency, or Carbon Monoxide]
sensor... zone [number]... [full or low] signal”
If the sensor tested has a low battery, the Console will announce:
0
