SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
Testing the System (to be conducted weekly)
Entering Test Mode
The TEST key puts your system into the Test mode, which allows each protection point to be checked
for proper operation. The keypad sounds a single beep every 45 seconds as a reminder that the system
is in the Test mode.
NOTE: An alarm message will not be sent to your alarm monitoring company during the following tests.
Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The “READY” indicator should be lit.

WATCH. All LCD segments will light for 3 seconds.
LISTEN. The external sounder should sound for 2 seconds and then turn off. If the sounder does not
sound, notify your service company.
FAULT ZONES. Open each protected door and window in turn and listen for three beeps from the
keypad, followed by the zone’s Voice Descriptor, if it is programmed. Identification of each faulted
protection point should appear on the display. The display will clear when the door or window is closed.
Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps and/or voice
descriptors, if programmed. The identification of the detector should appear on the display when it is
activated, and its voice descriptor will be announced (if programmed). The display will clear when no
motion is detected. Note that if wireless motion detectors are used, there is a 3-minute delay between
activations. This is to conserve battery life.
To test all smoke detectors, follow the manufacturer's instructions. The identification of each detector
should appear on the display when each is activated.
If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), notify your
service company.
When all protection points have been checked and are intact (closed), there should be no zone
identification numbers displayed on the keypad.
Exit Test Mode
When testing is completed, exit the TEST mode by entering: +OFF key.
