Security Pro 500
When your system detects a problem, trouble beeps sound to alert you. See "Troubleshooting"
for an explanation of the causes of trouble beeps and what you can do to fix the problem.

Manual Tests

The automatic tests your system performs provide continuing reassurance that it is working prop-
erly. There are also weekly system tests you can do yourself as an added safeguard. Taking time
to do these tests will familiarize you with your system and alert you to anything unusual, such as
cut phone lines or sensors that have been tampered with.
The ability to conduct sensor and phone tests is a code attribute given per User code. Check the
Appendix A User Sheets to see which access codes have the ability to conduct these tests.
