Sensor testing notes
• Conduct sensor test in all possible environmental conditions
(For example: interior doors open and closed, HVAC system
on and off, wireless music system turned on and off).
• Conduct sensor test whenever changes are made to the
installation environment that may impact RF performance
(For example: mirrors installed, metal backed wall paper,
addition of other RF equipment).
• If a sensor doesn’t meet minimum packet requirements,
contact your installer.
Comm test
The comm t

you exit program mode.
est is used to check proper communication.
3. Test an emergency panic icon and trip at least one sensor of
each type (fire, intrusion, etc.) to verify that the appropriate
alarms are working correctly. There could be a 30 second
delay on intrusion devices.
4. When you finish testing the system, call the central station to
verify that the alarms were received.
Note: If your system is not connected to a central monitoring
station you won’t be able to perform the communication test.
Emergency planning
Since an emergency is always unexpected, you should develop
plans to help prepare for a variety of emergencies. Periodically
discuss and rehearse emergency plans to include the following:
• Understand how to use your security system.
To perform a comm test:
1. Enter the Status & Settings menu.
2. Scroll until System Tests is listed, Press Enter.
3. Enter your master code and press OK.
4. Press Comm Test.
The panel displays if the comm test was successful or not.
Central station communication
After performing sensor tests, check that the system is reporting
alarms successfully to the central station.
To test communication with the central station:
1. Call the central station and tell the operator that you will be
testing the system.
2. Arm the system.
• Know the normal state of doors and windows: open, closed,
or locked.
• Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack).
• Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to the
touch.
• Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to help
reduce smoke inhalation during your escape.
• Meet at a designated outdoor location.
• Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if there
is a fire.
• Notify the fire department from a neighbor’s phone.
• Emphasize that no one should enter the premises if they hear
sirens in the house.
• If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do no enter. Call
for emergency assistance with your cell phone, or from a
neighbor’s phone.
