Testing Door Monitors
The Universal Tester will test all WanderGuard®door monitors except the
FirstQTM series. Test door monitors at least weekly on each shift with all
surrounding power devices turned on to maximize possible
electromagnetic interference. If using a PIR device, refer to the
instructions that are shipped with it.
To test a WanderGuard door monitor that has WanderGuard®System
Status Display installed:
1. Open the door(s).
2. Move to 3' in front of the middle of the door, or middle of doorway if
testing a double door system, and hold the tester at waist level.
3. Press the DOOR button. The LED above the button will turn on and
segments on the LCD display will animate indicating the tester is
transmitting. “??????” will be displayed on the System Status Display.
(A single button press activates the tester for 2 seconds, or the button
can be held down to transmit continuously.)
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3, holding the tester at ankle, knee, and head level.
5. Move to the right side of the door and repeat Steps 2 through 4.
6. Move to the left side of the door and repeat Steps 2 through 4.
To test a WanderGuard door monitor WITHOUT a WanderGuard®
System Status Display installed:
1. Open the door(s).
2. Move to 3' in front of the middle of the door, or middle of doorway if
testing a double door system, and hold the tester at waist level.
3. Press the DOOR button. The LED above the button will turn on and
segments on the LCD display will animate indicating the tester is
transmitting. The alarm on the door monitor will sound. Reset the
alarm. (A single button press activates the tester for 2 seconds, or the
button can be held down to transmit continuously.)
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3, holding the tester at ankle, knee, and head level.
5. Move to the right side of the door and repeat Steps 2 through 4.
6. Move to the left side of the door and repeat Steps 2 through 4.
If the alarm does not sound, make sure the door is open and the tester is
within 3' of the monitor. If the alarm still does not sound, contact Senior
Technologies’ Technical Service at 800-824-2996.
