Sensor Test (Sensor Test)
1st Tier
This setting lets you perform a manual sensor test to check that
all the sensors are working properly.
❑ A DTIM and battery test are performed at the start of the
sensor test. The panel will display the DTIM zone number
and beep once for every received transmission.
❑ The panel will beep indicating the number of transmis-
sions received, (see Table B4: “Minimum Beeps,” on
page 18), and display the sensor name + OK to indicate a
satisfactory test of the sensor. For the first 10 to 20 sec-
onds of test, the volume is set to a lower level.
❑ Panel will automatically leave sensor test after 15 min-
utes.
❑ The panel will display ALL OK when all sensors have been
tested.
❑ If Low Lvl reports are on, the panel will send a start of
test central station report when a sensor test is initiated.
❑ The panel will send an end of test central station report
when the sensor test ends.
To run a sensor test:
1. Press # to display the sensor test (TEST; ZONE XX). The dis-
play then scrolls thru the untested zones, and beeps indicat-
ing the number of sensor packets received.
2. To trip a sensor, follow the instructions in Table 5.
3. To restart the list, press 1. This will also restart the 15
minute timer.
