Help CenterAlarm messages will be sent to the central station during the following tests 1 and 2. Notify
them in advance that tests will be in progress.
- Arm the system and fault one or more zones. After 15 seconds (if optional dialer delay is selected),
silence alarm sounder(s) by entering the code and pressing OFF. Check entry/exit delay zones.
- Check the keypad-initiated alarms that are in the system by pressing the Panic key pairs. If the system
has been programmed for audible emergency, the keypad will emit a steady alarm sound, and
“ALARM” and zone number will be displayed. For Lynx Plus, silence the alarm by entering the
security code and pressing OFF. For LynxSIA Plus, silence the alarm by entering the security code.
If the system has been programmed for silent emergency, there will be no audible alarms or displays,
but a report will be sent to the central station.
- If Powerline Carrier Devices have been installed, test their programmed action.
- Notify the central station when all tests are finished, and verify results with them.
- To test the wireless part of the system and the RF receiver, perform the two additional tests described
in the Installing Wireless Zones section: Sniffer mode and Go/No Go Test.
Note: System Test mode (installer/master code + test) and Go/No Go Test (installer code + # + 8) will be
automatically terminated after 3-1/2 to 4 hours if the installer or user does not manually terminate it. This
ensures that fire and panic zones will not remain disabled. However, Sniffer mode (installer code + # + 3) does
not automatically expire. You must manually exit (Installer/User Code + OFF) Sniffer mode to
return to normal operation.
