TESTING

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE SYSTEM BE TESTED ON A WEEKLY BASIS

Note: Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late

evening.

1. Inform the monitoring station that you are testing your system.

2. Disarm the system ("Ready" light should be ON).

3. Perform a battery/bell test by pressing [ ], [6], [Master Code], [8]. The alarm

will sound for about 2 seconds. If a trouble occurs after the test, press [ ], [2]

to view the trouble condition.

4. Activate each sensor in turn. For example, open a door or window. Observe

the zone light come ON as each sensor is activated. The zone light will go

OFF as each sensor is restored to normal (door or window is closed).

5. Press [1]+[3]. The signal will sound in a pulsed mode. Arm then disable the

panel to silence the signal. Repeat this test by pressing [4]+[6] and [ ]+[#]

in turn. Remember, the [4]+[6] does not ring the bell and [ ]+[#] may not be

programmed for an audible signal.

6. If the fire zone is used, activation will cause the signal to sound in a pulsed

mode.

CAUTION: Do not use open flame or burning materials to test a smoke detector.

Contact your installer for information on safe methods to activate a

smoke detector.

7. Should your system fail to operate properly, call your installer for service.

8. When testing is complete, call and advise the monitoring station.

MAINTENANCE

With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following

should be observed:

1. Do not wash the keypad with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a barely damp

cloth should remove normal accumulations of dust.

2. The battery/bell test is designed to determine battery condition, however it is

recommended that the stand-by battery be replaced every three years.

3. For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared,

ultrasonic or microwave motion detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the

respective manufacturer's literature for testing and maintenance.
