Testing Sensors
We recommend that you test the sensors after all pro-
gramming is completed and whenever a sensor-relat-
ed problem occurs.
Note
: While the sensor test is a valuable installation and
service tool, it only tests sensor operation for the current
conditions. You should perform a sensor test after any
change in environment, equipment, or programming.
1. Place all sensors in their secured (non-alarm)
state.
2. Open the Control Panel cover.
3. Enter the appropriate access code.
4. Press Test.
The Control Panel responds with Sensor test, press
again to change or DONE to select.
5. Press DONE.
Note:
If the primary or secondary phone number (option 4
or 5) has been programmed, after pressing
Test
a second
time, the Control Panel announces
Phone Test
. The phone
testing procedure will be discussed later in this manual. Af-
ter pressing
Test
a third time, the Control Panel announces
DL phone test
.
The Control Panel will prompt you to trip each sensor
one at a time. You may follow the Control Panel’s
voice prompting or test the sensors in any order.
Interior sirens and speakers sound transmission beeps
as each sensor is tripped. Each beep represents one RF
packet.
Use the following table to trip sensors.
6. Count the number of transmission beeps and
refer to Table 21 on page 34 for minimum
requirements. After the beeps, the Control Panel
announces, Sensor Name is activated, sensor sta-
tus is XX (XX = number of RF packets). The sys-
tem will continue to prompt for sensors which
have not yet been tested. When all sensors have
been tested the Control Panel will announce,
Sensor test complete, press DONE.
7. Press DONE. The system will respond, Sensor
Test OK.
8. If Cancel or DONE is pressed and the Control
Panel has not heard from all sensors, the Control
Panel will respond, Sensor test canceled or fail-
ure.
Note
: If a sensor does not meet the minimum transmission
beep requirements, refer to the If a Sensor Fails the Sensor
Test section.
