Testing Your Alarms
You must test your security system at least once per week to ensure that it is working dependably.
Once per month, it is imperative that you do the following:
Test your alarm capability
Review the signal strength of the TouchScreen to your Internet router and the cellular receivers
(see page
)
Test your connectivity to the Internet and cellular servers (see page
)
When testing your alarms, you can choose to report your alarms to central monitoring to ensure end-to-
end integrity. By default, the system lets you test the reliability of your alarms without sending a signal to
central monitoring.
To test your alarms:
1. From the Settings app (see
"Configuring the TouchScreen" on page 13
),
tap
Security > Alarm Test
.
The Alarm Test screen is displayed.
2. To have your test alarms reported to central monitoring, tap
Disabled
.
The button changes to Enabled. Your test alarms will be sent to central monitoring.
