Testing sensors
You can test sensors one at a time to make sure they are sending strong signals to the panel. You should test the
security system at least once a week.
To perform the Sensor Test:
1. Scroll to System Tests.
2. Press Enter. The display shows Enter Code.
3. Enter your master code with the numbered keys.
4. Press Enter to accept the master code. The display shows Sensor Test.
5. Press Enter. The display shows, for example, Trip Sn 1 Front Door and automatically displays the list
of sensors to be tested. The panel sounds six beeps once a minute while in Sensor Test mode. See
Table 12, How to trip devices for sensor test on page 38.
When you trip a sensor the display shows, for example, Sn 1 Packets = 8 Front Door. You may trip the sensors
in any order. As each sensor is heard from, it is removed from the list of sensors to be tested. After all sensors
have been successfully tested, the display shows Sn Test Complete, Press Status. To terminate the sensor test:
1. Press STATUS. The display shows Sensor Test Ok.
2. After a few seconds the display shows Sensor Test.
3. Press STATUS repeatedly to exit.
If any of the sensors did not test successfully and you want to terminate the test, press STATUS. The panel
display will show Sensor Test Fail or Aborted. The display then shows Sensor Test. Press STATUS once to exit
the system test. If a sensor test fails, call your security dealer.
