TESTING YOUR ALARM SYSTEM

Sentry Security recommends testing your alarm system a minimum of once a month. It is extremely important to regularly test your alarm system to ensure it is working and transmitting signals properly.

You will need the following information:

Customer Name
Address
Passcode

Instructions

Call your central station center (or Sentry Security at 847-353-7200) and request that you would like to test your system- so the alarm signal will not generate a call to the police/fire authorities.
Arm your system and purposely set it off at any zone (door, window, motion etc.)
Let the very loud siren sound for at least 50 seconds.
Disarm your system.
Call the central station command center again to make sure they received the signal. If a signal isn’t received, please call our office.

Please contact Sentry Security if you have questions or concerns
