7.11 Communicator Test
This chart explains the procedure for performing a Communicator Test.
This test is available only if your system transmits alarms and system information to a monitoring service, and has been programmed
by the security installing company to permit communicator tests.
A long beep will initially sound to acknowledge the start of the test.
If the test is successful, the sounder will again issue one long beep.
If the test fails, the keypad sounder will turn ON continuously.
To silence the sounder, enter your [PIN] followed by the [#] key or press the [*] key.
