Using Test Mode
General Information
After the installation is completed, thoroughly test the Security System on a
partition by partition basis as follows:
1. With the System in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact. If
DISARMED - Press T to show faults is displayed, press the * key to display
the descriptors of the faulted zone(s). Restore faulted zone(s) if necessary, so
that ****DISARMED*** READY TO ARM is displayed.
2. Enter the security code and press the TEST key. The external sounder (if
used) should sound for 3 seconds and then turn off (the system is operating
on the back-up battery only at this time).
NOTE 1. If the sounder does not sound, this may be an indication that the
backup battery is discharged or missing.
NOTE 2. As a reminder that the system is in the Test mode, the keypad will
sound a single beep at 15-second intervals.
NOTE 3. In the Test mode, no alarm reports will be sent to the central station
for the partition being tested. Also, the external sounder (if used) will not be
activated.
NOTE 4: Test mode is active only for the partition at which Test mode is
entered. Other partitions are still operative and will cause the external
sounder and communicator to activate if an alarm condition occurs.
Doors and Windows
• Open and close each protected door and window in turn. Each action should
produce three beeps from the keypad. The descriptor for each protection zone
will appear on the keypad display.
Motion Detectors
• Walk in front of any interior motion detectors. Listen for three beeps when the
detector senses movement. While it is activated, its descriptor will remain
displayed on the keypad. Note that wireless PIRs will have a 3 minute lockout
between transmissions to conserve battery life (remove cover for walk test to
override the 3-minute lock-out on 5700 series units, move jumper inside 5800
series units to "Test" position (put back to "Normal" position when test is
complete)).
Smoke Detectors
• Follow the test procedure provided by the manufacturer of each smoke
detector to ensure that all detectors are operational and are functioning
properly.
NOTE: A 2-wire smoke detector display will not clear until the Test mode is
exited.
Turning Off TEST mode
• Enter the security code and press the 1 (OFF) key.
