About Test Procedures
After the installation is complete, you should perform the following tests:
System Test: Checks that all zones have been installed properly.
Dialer Test: Checks that the phone connection to the central station is working properly.
Go/No Go Test: Checks that transmissions can be received from transmitters. Should be performed
before permanently mounting transmitters.
Sensor Sniffer Mode: Allows one-man walk test of entire system.
Battery Tests: Automatic battery tests are performed by the system. See Automatic Battery Test
paragraph for details.
System Test
With the system in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact (not faulted). Doors and windows
with contacts should be closed, PIRs should be covered (use a cloth to mask them temporarily if
necessary). If a “NOT READY” message is displayed, press [∗] to display the faulted zone(s). Restore
faulted zone(s) if necessary, so that the “READY” message is displayed.
1. Enter Installer Code + 5 [
TEST] , then press “0” at the prompt to start Walk Test mode.
1=DIAL, 0=WALK (no special display on Fixed-Word keypads)
The following will be displayed:
TEST IN PROGRESS (“dd” displayed on Fixed-Word Display Keypads)
A Contact ID report will also be sent (code 607)
2. Upon entering the system test mode, the outside sounder should sound for 1 second.
If the backup battery is discharged or missing, the sounder may not turn on and a “LOW
BATTERY” report will be transmitted with a “TEST” report.
The keypad will beep once per minute as a reminder that the system is in the Test mode.
NOTE: Wireless motion detectors (Passive Infrared units) will send signals out only if they
have been inactive for 3 minutes from their prior transmission (conserves battery life).
3. Test all sensors using the procedure described in the User’s Guide “Testing the System” section.
4. After checking sensors, turn off the test mode by entering installer code + OFF.
NOTE: Test mode automatically ends after 4 hours. During the final 5 minutes (after 3 hours
55 minutes of Test mode), the keypad emits a double-beep every 30 seconds to alert that the end
of Test mode is nearing.
