How do I test my outdoor warning system or strobe light?

Owners, Admins and Limited Admins can test hardware from the mobile app or the web dashboard.

Mobile App

1. Tap the Hardware tab, then tap the unit you want to test.
2. Tap Run Hardware, then Test Hardware.
3. Select the unit or units to test and tap Next.
4. Choose what to test: Siren, PA Message, Strobe or Visual Alerting System. Tap Run Test.
5. Tap Stop Test to end the test early. This stops the test only; the unit stays active.

Web Dashboard

1. Go to the on-site hardware page.
2. Click Run Hardware, then Test Hardware.
3. Select the unit or units to test, then choose what to test: Siren, PA Message, Strobe, Visual Alerting System or StormBridge.
4. Click Test Hardware. Click Stop Test to end the test early; the unit stays active.
5. A test sounds even outside the unit's Audible Alert Times. The test window shows Complete when the test finishes, whether or not the unit responded. To confirm the test reached the unit, check the Event Logs tab.
