Zone Test
This chart explains the procedure for performing a Zone Test.
It is recommended that the system be tested weekly.
The Zone Test is used to confirm that detectors will report alarms.
Zone Test works on all zones, except 24-hour zones and fire zones.
While the keypad is in Zone Test, no control panel alarms will activate an alarm, except 24-hour zone alarms and fire alarms.
These will override the Zone Test function.
The Zone Test tests all zones (except 24 hour and fire zones) regardless of partition assignment.

7.10 Battery / Sounder Test
This chart explains the procedure for performing a battery test.
If a power failure occurs, your control panel has a built-in battery that will continue to power the control panel for many hours.
The control panel automatically recharges the battery when power is restored.
In addition to an automatic battery test performed every 24 hours, the battery may also be tested manually.
This test also uses the battery to manually activate all the system sounders for 2 seconds, [#] [8] [5] only.
If the battery voltage is low, a battery fault will occur (see Error Displays).
The Battery Test cannot be performed during the first 2 minutes after the control panel is powered up.
