FAQs
What is the Test Timer feature, and how do I use PCD-Windows to program Test Timer in my GEM-P816, GEM-P1632 or GEM-P1664 control panel?
The Test Timer schedule is programmed into the control panel using NAPCO's PCD-Windows Quickloader software. If Test Timer is programmed, an automatic test report is transmitted to the central station on the scheduled day(s) at the scheduled time.
Programming in PCD-Windows Quickloader:
1. System Assignment > System Reporting and Outputs: In the "Test Timer" row, check "Report on Alarm Tel. 1".
2. System Assignment > Time Selection: In the "Test Timer Time-of-Day" field in the Duration column, type a time of the day (24-hour military time required). In the "Test Timer Day-of-Week" pull-down menu in the Duration column, select a day of the week you want the report to be sent.
Note: Be sure to verify the control panel clock time and date are accurate. In addition, verify the reporting format is Contact ID. No additional programming data is required.
