How to Test Your System
Alarm system testing procedures
The purpose of testing the alarm system is to ensure the system is in proper working order and
communicating to the monitoring station. The following procedure should be done at least once per
month.
1.
Call the monitoring station at 1.855.643.2674 (MIDCOSH) to place your account on test. You will need
your Midco SmartHOME
TM
account number and your personal pass code.
2.
Start by testing your keypad panic buttons. Press the (2) buttons to activate alarm. Be sure to reset
the system after the activation.
3.
Arm your system in the “stay” mode, this will allow you to test your perimeter devices – doors,
windows, etc. Remember your entry door has a time delay, it will not activate the alarm until both
the entry and exit delay has expired. It is not necessary to reset the system each time you open each
door or window.
4.
Arm your system in the “away” mode. This will allow you to test the interior devices.
5.
It you have any external panic devices such as a wireless key they can be tested at this time.
6.
After all testing is complete, be sure to reset your alarm system by putting in your code and pressing
off or using your off button on your wireless key.
7.
Call the central station at 1.855.643.2674 (MIDCOSH) to verify all test alarms were received. If there is
any question, retest the affected part of the system again.
8.
