How do I test my Security System?
Is your alarm system not working? Don’t worry! Follow the instructions below to test your system.
- Call the Monitoring Station at 972-792-1116 and tell them your account number or password and then tell them you want to put your system on test for 20-30 minutes.
- Then arm your alarm, as if you were leaving the house.
- Wait until the 60-second timer runs out.
- Open the door.
- Let the alarm sound for at least 60 seconds, and then turn off the alarm.
- Wait 3-4 minutes and then call the monitoring station back and give them your information again and ask them what they received from your account.
- If they state that they received a signal from your account then everything is working correctly.
- If they state that they did not receive anything from your account, call the business office at 940-498-1818 to schedule an appointment for one of the Technicians to come out and take a look at your alarm
