Testing
This chapter provides a set of tests to ensure proper operation of your Simon XT
self-contained security system. We recommended you test your system weekly.
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 13
below .
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.
