Testing your security system weekly is very important. When you are testing your security system you want to test that it is communicating with the central station and that all the zones and devices on the system are working properly.  To test your system you will first need to contact the central station and place your account on test.  Once your account has been placed on test you will need to arm your system and begin testing each door, window and any other devices on the system. It may be a good idea to have someone there to help you do this.
