It is an excellent idea to test your system, perhaps once a month. Before testing please call us at our local number or 1-800-265-7562, identify yourself by name and system number. You may be asked for your password or PIN code. Advise that you will be testing the system and for how long. (Our minimum test disable time is one hour, but it can be more. Once we have placed your system on test close all the doors and windows and obtain a “ready” indication. Arm the system and wait for the exit delay time to expire. Then move about the house or office so that each motion detector “sees” you, open and close every door and protected window. Once you have triggered all the devices enter your code to disarm the system. Call us again and ensure that we received the signals. You may take the system off of test disable at this time. Should you have any questions about testing your system please feel free to contact a customer service representative for assistance.
