'True Diversity' RF communications - each transmitter has two paths to the controller Path 1: directly to the controller Path 2: to the sounder which relays the signal to the controller - only one path has to be open to complete a transmission module placement test mode allows installer to carry a keypad to the proposed locations for system modules (siren-repeaters, keypads, detectors) and test communications to the controller before the module is installed. Keypad reports whether proposed location is "good", "fair" or "bad". walk test mode - allows installer or user to independently test the operation of each detection device without setting off an alarm) sounder test mode - tests sounder operation manual dialer test mode - tests dialer communication to monitoring station
