Note
While the sensor test is a
valuable installation and ser-
vice tool, it only tests sensor
operation for the current
conditions. You should per-
form a sensor test after any
change in environment,
equipment, or programming.
Note
If you hear a long, low-
pitched beep, proceed to the
section "If a Wireless Sensor
Does Not Test."

Testing Zones/Sensors

We recommend that you test sensors/zones after all programming is completed and whenever a
zone/sensor-related problem occurs.
If the system does not respond as described in the following procedure, see the "Troubleshoot-
ing" section.
1. Place all sensors/zones in their non-alarm state.
2. At an alphanumeric touchpad, enter the sensor test mode by pressing 8 + installer CODE +
3 . The touchpad sounds one beep and displays
stays in sensor test for 15 minutes. When less than 5 minutes remain, touchpads and interior
sirens beep once every minute. After 15 minutes the panel disarms to
3. Trip each zone/sensor one at a time. Touchpads (and interior sirens) should sound one short,
high-pitched beep and the display shows the sensor name (or number if text for that sensor is
not programmed) and
OK
4. Press the button when you think all zones/sensors are tested. The touchpad displays

have been tested, the display shows
touchpads).
5. Test any untested zones/sensors and touchpad panics.
6. If you need more time to complete the sensor test, press 8 + installer CODE + 3 while the
system is still in sensor test. This restarts the 15 minutes of test time.
7. When all sensors/zones and touchpad panics have been tested, press 1 + installer CODE to
exit sensor test.

sensor is tripped, this indicates wireless sensor signal strength is below acceptable limits. Dis-
tance from the receiver and/or installation environment are most likely affecting the sensor signal
strength.
