If you are going to perform a System Test, call your Monitoring Station to inform them when you

the keypad status lights and the panel backup battery.

Press Options, User Functions [Master Code], then System Test. The following will occur:

turn ON.
- The Ready, Armed, and Trouble LEDs will flash for the duration of the test.

Testing Your Entire System
All smoke detectors in this installation must be tested by your smoke detector installer or dealer once a year
to ensure they are functioning correctly. It is the user’s responsibility to test the system weekly (excluding
smoke detectors). Ensure you follow all the steps in the “Testing Your Keypad Sounder and Siren” section.
Note:
Should the system fail to function properly, call your installation company for service immediately.
1.
Prior to testing, ensure that the system is disarmed and the Ready light is on.
2.
Close all zones to return the system to the Ready state.
3.
Perform a System Test by following the steps in the “Testing Your Keypad Sounder and Siren”
section.
4.
To test the zones, activate each detector in turn (e.g., open each door/window or walk in motion
detector areas).
On an HS2TCHP keypad
, the following message will be displayed when each zone (detector) is activated:
“Ready to Force,” “Not Ready”. Use the zone status button to view which zones are open. The message will
disappear when the zones are closed.
Note:
Some features described above will not be functional unless enabled by your installer. Ask your
installer which features are functional on your system.
Walk Test Mode
The installer can initiate a Walk Test mode for the system. While in Walk Test mode, the Ready, Armed,
and Trouble LEDs will flash to indicate that Walk Test is active. When the system automatically terminates
the Walk Test mode, it will annunciate with an audible warning (5 beeps every 10 seconds), beginning five
minutes prior to the termination of the test.
Allowing Computer Access To Your System
From time to time, your installer may need to send information to or retrieve information from your security
system. Your installer will do this by having a computer call your system over the telephone line. You may
need to prepare your system to receive this ‘downloading’ call. To do this, press Options, User Functions
[Master Code], then Enable DLS from the Touchscreen.This allows downloading for a limited period of
time. During this time, the system will answer incoming downloading calls. For more information on this
feature, please ask your installer.
