mode (ideal for Living rooms, Kitchens etc). 
Perimeter Follower—Same as above but allows access through 
• 
the detector during the delay mode (ideal for Hallways).

7)  The  diagnostic  testing  feature  is  a  useful  tool  for 
determining the signal  strength  from  the sensors deployed on 
site. This should be carried out before and after you have installed 
the system.

.
Press
•     
again (to test sensors) and ‘Diag. Testing’ will be 
on screen.
Now walk around the premises and trigger the sensors (see 
• 
note below).
Once completed use the
•     
key to cycle through the zone 
and check that all signals are ether ‘Good’ or ‘Strong’. If any 
sensors show ‘poor’ re-site to a better position.
If a wireless siren is on the system then you can perform a remote 
diagnostic check  by  selecting [WL  Siren  Test]  in the Diagnostic 
menu and pressing
twice.
If you nd a sensor is out of range consider using a MCX-600  L
repeater. When powered via 12VDC this will boost signals 
received from transmitters.
