How do I test after installation?
Use panel walk test, zone status, and (if monitored) central station test per dealer procedure.
Can I mix 5800 and SiX sensors?
SiX sensors require ProSeries or Lyric; 5800 needs a 5800 receiver transceiver hardware — they do not enroll on the standard 345 MHz receiver alone.
