TESTING PROCEDURES
The system is intended to be checked by a
qualified technician at least every 3 years.
The following are the necessary procedures for
testing relevant system devices.
User Test Mode
There are two ways to enter User Test mode:
•
During every 2-way voice communication with
the central station, the Base Unit automatically
enters User Test mode once the operator uses
the telephone line.
•
During a telephone conversation, the party at the
other end of the telephone line must press **# in
order to enter user test mode. When the call
ends, the telephone line returns to normal mode.
In the USER TEST mode, the Base Unit
announces a verbal message upon reception of a
transmission from an enrolled detector.
This verbal message consists of two parts:
Detector Name; and Signal Strength.
•
Detector Name
– the Base Unit will announce
the detector type, for example, pendant, fall
detector, smoke detector, and the detector's
zone number.
•
Signal Strength
–
3 beeps indicate "strong"
signal strength; 2 beeps indicate "good" signal
strength; 1 beep indicates "poor" signal strength;
no beeps indicate that the Base Unit has failed to
measure the signal strength for that transmission.
Pendant transmitter Test
Regular manual testing of your pendant(s) is an
optional feature. If your installer has enabled
pendant tests, then at the scheduled time, the unit
will announce and display (AMBER CLASSIC only)
"Please Test Your Pendant". The panel will also
display (AMBER CLASSIC only) "Press Your
Pendant" along with the pendants name. You must
then press the pendant transmitter, whereby the
unit will announce and display (AMBER CLASSIC
only) "Test Complete".
MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM
When a Pendant's Battery is
Low
When a pendant transmitter's button is pressed and
its battery is low, the pendant transmitter flashes
rapidly several times per second and the red light on
the Base Unit flashes continuously until the
pendant's battery is replaced. The display (AMBER
CLASSIC only) shows LOW BATTERY and the
pendant transmitter's name. Your system informs
the Monitoring Center.
Please contact your Visonic sales representative
for information on battery replacement.
When a Smoke Detector's
Battery is Low
When a smoke detector's battery voltage is low, the
smoke detector beeps every 35 seconds to alert you
and will continue to beep until the detector's battery
is replaced. The Base Unit's display (AMBER
CLASSIC only) shows LOW BATTERY and the
smoke detector's name. Your system informs the
Monitoring Center.
The smoke detector's batteries should last at least
one year. To replace the batteries, refer to the
instructions provided with the smoke detector.
