How to Test Your System
Alarm system testing procedures
The purpose of testing the alarm system is to ensure the system is in proper working order and
communicating to the monitoring station. The following procedure should be done at least once per
month.
1.
Call the monitoring station at 1.855.643.2674 (MIDCOSH) to place your account on test. You will need
your Midco SmartHOMETM account number and your personal pass code.
2.
Start by testing your keypad panic buttons. Press the (2) buttons to activate alarm. Be sure to reset
the system after the activation.
3.
Arm your system in the “stay” mode, this will allow you to test your perimeter devices – doors,
windows, etc. Remember your entry door has a time delay, it will not activate the alarm until both
the entry and exit delay has expired. It is not necessary to reset the system each time you open each
door or window.
4. Arm your system in the “away” mode. This will allow you to test the interior devices.
5.
It you have any external panic devices such as a wireless key they can be tested at this time.
6. After all testing is complete, be sure to reset your alarm system by putting in your code and pressing
off or using your off button on your wireless key.
7.
Call the central station at 1.855.643.2674 (MIDCOSH) to verify all test alarms were received. If there is
any question, retest the affected part of the system again.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 1.800.888.1300.

4.
This Agreement may be suspended or canceled at any time at the Company’s option should
the protective equipment on the property of the Customer become so substantially disabled or
damaged that further service is impracticable or if the rendering of such service is not possible
by reason of strike, riot, floods, fires, interruption of communications services, Acts of God, or
any other cause beyond the control of Company and Midco.
5.
The Customer acknowledges the only obligation of the Company is to monitor the signals
from the Customer’s electro-protective system and respond to the signals when received. The
Company will make reasonable effort to notify the authorities listed in the Notifications part of
the Agreement.
6.
Customer understands the signals from the electro-protective system, which Company will
monitor, are transmitted to Company via telephone and Internet lines as well as wireless
communications, all of which Company has no control. Customer understands and agrees
Company cannot be responsible for any monitoring during periods when these means of
transmission are interrupted for whatever reason.
7.
Customer understands the signals from the electro-mechanical device are transmitted for
monitoring either through the hard-wired data lines or, as a backup, the wireless cellular
network. When the backup wireless cellular network is utilized, Customer understands the
signals may not be reliable due to various conditions, including but not limited to, atmospheric
conditions, geography, weak or lost cellular signals, or complete cellular outage.
Neither the Company nor Midco shall be responsible for delays in the response time or failure
to respond by any authorities or individuals notified by the Company according to Customer’s
instructions and list in the Agreement.
9.
Customer understands that although the Company is paid to monitor the system, it cannot
guaranty that loss or damage cannot occur. The Company and Midco are not insurers against
loss or damage. The Customer is encouraged in all instances to make his or her own insurance
arrangements.
10. Customer agrees that in no event shall the Company or Midco be liable for any consequential
damages. Company and Midco disclaim any and all implied warranties of merchantability and
fitness for a particular purpose. The only warranties applicable will be those agreed to by the
Parties in a signed written agreement.
11. Customer agrees that if he/she does not make payments in a timely manner, the service may
be disconnected. If there is a disconnection for any reason, monitoring and reporting will
discontinue as of the disconnection date and time. Company and Midco cannot and will not be
responsible for any events that occur after the disconnection.
12. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state in which the electro-protective device
is in service.
