2. Press 8 + system master CODE + 2. The display shows PHONE TEST and

the touchpad sounds one beep.

When the panel completes the test, the system returns to the previous arming
level automatically.

If the display continues to show PHONE TEST for 1½ minutes or more, enter 1 +
system master CODE and refer to the “Troubleshooting” on page 76.

Testing Central Station/Pager Communication

After performing sensor and phone tests, check that the system is reporting
alarms successfully to the central station (or pager).

To test communication with the central station/pager:

Note

: The way information is displayed varies with pager services and may not

match the example to the right. Account numbers with alpha-characters also vary
when displayed, depending on pager service. Account numbers are not
displayed if Streamlining is turned on.

1. Call the central station and tell the operator that you will be testing the

system.

2. Arm the system.

3. Test each of the touchpad and wireless panic buttons and trip at least one

sensor of each type (fire, intrusion, etc.) to verify correct operation.

4. Check pager displays to verify reports are received. Pagers display an event

code, digit sensor number, and the last four digits of the account number.
For example, a pager display of 999 002 7468 indicates the following; 999 =
alarm
condition, 002 = sensor/zone in alarm or user number, and 7468 = last four
digits of account number. Table 5 on page 75 describes pager system event
codes. Table 6 on page 75 describes pager sensor/zone number and user
number report codes

5. When you finish testing the system, call the central monitoring station to verify

that the alarms were received.

Testing Outputs/Sirens

All outputs (Onboard and SnapCard) should be tested to verify configuration
programming.
