Based on the available information, putting your ADT system into test mode likely involves navigating the system menu. To extend the test period, you should be able to select a length of time from a drop-down menu and then click a button to extend the time. To ultimately end test mode, you select the option to end test mode.
While the provided snippet doesn't offer a complete, step-by-step guide, here are some general steps and considerations based on typical security system functionality:
- Access the System Menu: Typically, you'll use the keypad on your ADT control panel to access the system menu. Look for options like "Settings," "System," or "Installer." Your system user manual will provide specific instructions.
- Enter Your Master Code: You'll likely need to enter your master security code to access protected settings.
- Find the Test Mode Option: Look for an option like "Test Mode," "Sensor Test," or "Walk Test." The exact wording will vary depending on your ADT system model.
- Activate Test Mode: Select the test mode option and confirm your choice.
- Extend Test Time (if needed): If you need more time in test mode, look for a dropdown menu to select a longer duration. After selecting the time, you will select "extend time."
- Test Your Sensors: After activating test mode, you can trigger each sensor (e.g., open a door or window, walk past a motion detector) to ensure it's communicating with the control panel. The panel should indicate which sensor has been triggered.
- Exit Test Mode: When you're finished testing, navigate back to the test mode option in the menu and select the option to end test mode. This will return your system to normal operation.
Important Considerations:
- Consult Your ADT Manual: The best source of information is your specific ADT system's user manual. This will provide precise instructions and diagrams for your particular model.
- Contact ADT Support: If you're unsure about any step, or if you encounter difficulties, contact ADT customer support for assistance. They can guide you through the process and ensure your system is properly configured.
- Monitoring Center Notification: Some systems will automatically notify the monitoring center when entering or exiting test mode.
