properly.
This section describes how to perform the following test procedures:
Walk Test: Checks that the system responds to zone faults
Communication Test: Checks that the phone connection to the central station is
working properly

Walk Test
The system contains a walk test mode that allows you to activate any zone/sensor and
verify its correct operation without causing an alarm.
An audible tone will occur with each tested sensor in walk test, with a display to
provide additional feedback.
As each wireless sensor is added to the scrolling list of tested sensors, the signal
strength will be shown on the LCD display as 1-10. A higher value indicates a
stronger signal level. A minimum level of five is recommended.
To initiate a walk test:
Make sure the system is disarmed.
Press NEXT + NEXT and the keypad will display LOG TEST RESET.
Select <Test> and enter a user PIN. The display will show WALK COMM.
Select <Walk> and the keypad will display “Walk Test Active.”
Test all sensors using the procedure described in Table 4.
When testing each sensor the system responds with a tone from the LCD keypad. As
each wireless sensor is added to the scrolling list of tested sensors, the signal strength
will be included on the display (wireless sensors only).
Exit walk test mode by pressing <Done>.
