Note While the sensor test is a valuable installation and service tool, it only tests sensor operation for the current conditions. You should perform a sensor test after any change in environment, equipment, or programming. Note If you hear a long, lowpitched beep, proceed to the section "If a Wireless Sensor Does Not Test." Basic System Commands Table 4 describes the basic system touchpad operating commands. For complete details on system operation, including user programming, refer to the system users guide.

If the system does not respond as described in the following procedure, see the "Troubleshooting" 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 SENSOR TEST, 15 MINUTES LEFT. The system 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 OFF automatically. 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 STATUS button when you think all zones/sensors are tested. The touchpad displays any untested sensors/zones and touchpad panics. If all sensors/zones and touchpad panics have been tested, the display shows SENSOR TEST OK or ZONES ALL TESTED (fixed display 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. If a Wireless Sensor Does Not Test If touchpads display SENSOR FAILURE and sirens sound a long, low-pitched beep when a zone/ sensor is tripped, this indicates wireless sensor signal strength is below acceptable limits. Distance from the receiver and/or installation environment are most likely affecting the sensor signal strength. 47 Testing the System
