System Test
NOTE: If you are going to perform a System Test, call your Monitoring Station to inform them
when you begin and also when you end the test.
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).
NOTE: Should the system fail to function properly, call your installation company for service
immediately.
Testing Your Keypad Sounder and Siren
More > User Options [Master Code] > User Functions > System Test
The System Test performs a two-second check of the keypad sounder and bell or siren, in addition to
testing the keypad status lights and the panel backup battery.
1. After pressing System Test, the keypad and system buzzer will sound an error tone for 2 sec-
onds. After the buzzer stops sounding, the keypad will say “Test” at full volume, regardless of
whether verbal chime or prompting are enabled and regardless of the volume setting. The keypad
LEDs will all flash for the 2-second duration and a progress wheel will be shown on the screen.
This test also forces the panel to perform a battery check, and it sends a test transmission signal
to the monitoring station.
2. To exit the function menu, press the Back button
.
Testing Your Entire System (User Walk Test)
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. Press
More > User Options [Master Code] > User Functions > User Walk Test
.
To test the
zones, activate each detector in turn (e.g., open each door/window or walk in motion detector
areas).
On a WTK5504 keypad, the following messages will be displayed when each zone (detector) is acti-
vated: “Ready to Force,” or “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.
Late-to-Open Programming
More > User Options [Master Code] > User Functions > Late to Open Program-
ming
The late-to-open control notifies you, and sends a message to the monitoring station, when the alarm
system is not disarmed by the programmed time of day. When this button is pressed, you can program
the late-to-open time of day for each day of the week, Sunday through Saturday. You can then program
the desired auto-arm time. An entry of all 9s means the time is disabled for that day.
NOTE: This feature does not exist on PowerSeries panels, and attempts to program will return
with “Function Not Available” along with an error tone.
Late-to-Open On/Off
More > User Options [Master Code] > User Functions > Late to Open On/
Off
When this button is pressed and the late-to-close feature is currently disabled, “Late to Open Enabled
”
is displayed on the keypad and acknowledgment beeps sound. If the button is pressed and the late to
close feature is enabled, “Late to Open Disabled” is displayed on the keypad and an error tone sounds.
NOTE: This feature does not exist on a PowerSeries panel, and so if the button is pressed it will
return with “Function Not Available” and sound an error tone.
Auto-Arm Programming
More > User Options [Master Code] > User Functions > Auto-Arm Pro-
gramming
The system can be programmed to arm at a programmed time each day. Upon entry of this section, enter
the desired Auto-Arm time for each day of the week.
