it is recommended you test all devices to ensure they are properly communicating with your alarm panel.
Testing the operation of all door and window sensors, and motion detectors:
Verify that the system is in "READY" mode and NOT ARMED. The system must be disarmed to avoid
accidental emergency dispatch. Open each protected door or window one at a time.
Check that the keypad displays the door or window you are testing is open, you may have to press the
"STATUS" or "READY" button depending on your type of system.
Close the respective door or window. The keypad should revert to "READY" mode.
Repeat this procedure for each sensor in the system.
