Testing the System

The system contains a test mode that allows you to test sensors and panic
signals without creating false alarms. Test your system weekly, by following the
instructions in this section carefully.

Automatic Test Features

Your security system conducts routine tests, checking for problems like power
failures, low batteries, sensors that aren’t working, and communication trouble
with the central monitoring station.

When your system detects a problem, trouble beeps sound to alert you. See
“Troubleshooting” for an explanation of the causes of trouble beeps and what you
can do to fix the problem.

Manual Tests

The automatic tests your system performs provide continuing reassurance that it
is working properly. There are also weekly system tests you can do yourself as
an added safeguard. Taking time to do these tests will familiarize you with your
system and alert you to anything unusual, such as cut phone lines or sensors
that have been tampered with.

The ability to conduct sensor and phone tests is a code attribute given per User
code.
