Remote inspection tests

See to the following definitions when you view a completed remote inspection in the examination pane:

note

For more information about the examination pane, see Examination pane in Navigating the Remote Inspection page.

Active faults

The Active Faults test is an inspection that checks the panel for faults that currently affect the operation of the panel.

Check clock

The Check Clock test is an inspection that checks if the time difference between the panel clock and the server clock is greater than the value set in Remote inspection values.

GPRS

The GPRS test is an inspection that checks for a GPRS heartbeat. The GPRS test passes in one of the following cases:

• The GPRS module does not exist. The test title displays in the color gray.
• The GPRS module exists but the keepalive messages are disabled. To disable or enable keepalive messages, see the GPRS Keep Alive Enabled toggle in Group parameters.
• The GPRS module exists and keepalive messages arrive on time.

Reported faults

The Reported Faults test is an inspection that checks the panel log file for faults. The test fails if a fault is found. To define the number of recent events that the test inspects for faults, see Check for reported faults in last in Remote inspection values.

Total system usage

The Total System Usage test is an inspection that checks the panel for any arm or disarm logs.

• If there is at least one arm or disarm log, the test passes.
• Define how many reports from the panel that the test inspects in Remote inspection values.

Bypassed/In-test zones

The Bypassed/In-test Zones test is an inspection that checks the panel for any log of a bypassed zone. If the test finds that a zone is bypassed, the test fails.

Frequently used zones

The Frequently used zones test is an inspection that checks if zones have been activated in the time defined in the Check frequently used zones not used over value in Remote inspection values. If the time of inactivity is greater than the defined time, the test fails.

tip

The test bypasses zones that are defined as rarely triggered. To mark a zone as rarely triggered, see Bypassing, soak testing, and marking a device as rarely triggered.

Broadband

The Broadband test is an inspection that checks for the presence of a broadband heartbeat.

• If the panel is not connected by broadband or there is no broadband module, the test title displays in the color gray.
• If there is a heartbeat, the test passes. If there is no heartbeat, the test fails.

Failed soak test zones

The Failed Soak test Zones test is an inspection that checks for soak test zones that cause an alarm. If there are no sensors in soak test mode or no alarms from sensors in soak test mode, the test passes.
