Testing
A suitable program of testing is highly adviseable for any alarm autodialer. The
frequency and thoroughness of the test should be gauged according to the
potential consequences of missing an alarm call.
Test the unit by simulating an alarm at one or more of the inputs. If you have
an optional rechargeable battery installed, you can create a power failure alarm
by disconnecting the external 12 VDC power source and waiting 5 minutes for a
power failure alarm to be tripped.
You can leave the power disconnected and see how long the unit remains
operational, running on its optional rechargeable battery. You might
temporarily program an alarm reset time of, say, four hours, so that you would
get a new set of calls every four hours until the battery lost charge.
