TESTING THE SYSTEM
There are three ways to test your sys-
tem:
• Testing Coverage
• Testing the Siren
• Testing the Monitoring Service
TESTING COVERAGE
Periodically test the coverage to be sure
your system will detect intruders. To do
this, disarm the system. Then walk
around the covered area. When the
system detects your movement, the red
ARMED indicator flashes. If the system
does not sense your movement, reread
“Installation” to be sure it is properly in-
stalled.
TESTING THE SIREN
Periodically test the siren to be sure it
will sound when triggered. To do this, lift
the handset of any phone connected to
the same line as the system. Then dial
1-800-YOUR PIN and T (8) then hang
up within 60 seconds. The system waits
for the exit delay. Then, when it detects
motion, it sounds the siren for 3 sec-
onds.
TESTING THE
MONITORING SERVICE
Periodically have the system call the
monitoring service to confirm they are
properly receiving its signals during an
alert. Before you do this, have your
password handy. First call ORCA Mon-
itoring Services at 1-800-FOR-ORCA to
let them know you are going to test the
system. Then arm the system, wait for
the exit delay to expire, and walk
through the covered area.
ORCA Monitoring Services should call
you within a few minutes of the alert.
Give them the password and advise
them again that you were testing the
system.
