For sensor testing a 1.0. touch
touch screen
screen, press and hold the
Emergency icon for 5 seconds.
For sensor testing a 1.1 or greater
touch screen, press the Settings
(gear) icon, scroll down, and then
press the RF Test icon.
6.
Press Close repeatedly to exit.
Sensor Test Failure
If sirens do not beep when a sensor is tripped, use an RF Sniffer
(60-401) test tool to verify that the sensor is transmitting. Constant
beeps from the RF Sniffer indicate a faulty sensor. Replace the
sensor.
If possible, locate sensors within 100 ft. (30 m) of the panel. While a
sensor may have a range of 500 ft. (152 m) or more out in the
open, the environment at the installation site can have a
significant effect on transmitter range. A change in sensor location
may help overcome adverse wireless conditions and can
potentially be accomplished by the following:
•
Reposition the sensor
•
Relocate the sensor
•
If necessary, replace the sensor
To reposition a sensor:
1.
Rotate the sensor and test for improved sensor
communications at 90 and 180 degrees from original
position.
2.
If poor communication persists, relocate the sensor.
To relocate a sensor:
1.
Test the sensor a few inches from the original position.
2.
Increase the distance from the original position and retest
until an acceptable location is found.
3.
Mount the sensor in the new location.
4.
If no location is acceptable, replace the sensor.
To replace a sensor:
1.
Test a known good sensor at the same location.
2.
If the transmission beeps remain below the minimum level,
avoid mounting a sensor at that location.
3.
If the known-good sensor functions, contact UTC Fire &
Security for repair or replacement of the problem sensor.
Sensor Testing Notes:
•
Conduct sensor test in all possible environmental conditions
(For example: interior doors open and closed, HVAC system
on and off, wireless music system turned on and off).
Simon XTi Installation Guide
•
Conduct sensor test whenever changes are made to the
Minimum
packets required
installation environment that may impact RF performance
(For example: mirrors installed, metal backed wall paper,
6 of 8
addition of other RF equipment).
•
Sensor testing should be done before and after permanent
mounting.
Comm Testing
If Comm Test is not finished, it will continue to run even if you exit
program mode.
Note: Complete panel programming before performing comm
testing.
To perform a comm test:
1.
Enter the Status & Settings menu.
2.
Scroll until System Tests is listed, Press Enter.
3.
Enter your master code and press OK.
4.
Press Comm Test.
The panel displays if the comm test was successful or not.
Central station communication
After performing sensor tests, check that the system is reporting
alarms successfully to the central station.
Note: The communication with the central station test must be
done while NOT in programming mode.
To verify alarm reporting:
1.
Call the central station and tell the operator that you will be
testing the system.
2.
Arm the system.
3.
Test an emergency panic icon and trip at least one sensor of
each type (fire, intrusion, etc.) to verify that the appropriate
alarms are working correctly. There is a 30 second delay.
4.
When you finish testing the system, call the central station to
verify that the alarms were received.
Cleaning the touch screen
If necessary, use a soft cloth to clear smudges on the touch
screen. Do not use glass cleaner on the touch screen.
Disposal
Dispose of all equipment is accordance with local requirements.
