Abstract
Systems, apparatus and methods for automatically testing security alarm devices are disclosed according to various embodiments. In one example, a disclosed system comprises: a plurality of test chambers coupled on a frame, wherein each of the test chambers is configured to house a corresponding one of a plurality of security alarm devices to be tested; and a test computer coupled to the frame, wherein the computer has a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for automatically testing the plurality of security alarm devices at the same time using a test software, wherein each of the plurality of security alarm devices is connected to the test computer.
Claims14
A system for automatically testing security alarm devices, comprising:
- a plurality of test chambers coupled on a frame, wherein each of the test chambers is configured to house a corresponding one of a plurality of security alarm devices to be tested;
- and
- a test computer coupled to the frame, wherein the computer has a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for automatically testing the plurality of security alarm devices at the same time using a test software, wherein each of the plurality of security alarm devices is connected to the test computer;
- and
- wherein before the testing:
- the test computer automatically pairs each security alarm device with a corresponding user account under control of the test software.
A system for automatically testing a plurality of electronic devices, comprising:
- a plurality of radio frequency (RF) shielded cabinets coupled to a frame, wherein each of the RF shielded cabinets comprises:
- a mounting device configured to receive a corresponding one of the plurality of electronic devices;
- a unique identifier associated with each of the plurality of RF shielded cabinets;
- an antenna configured to wirelessly communicate with the corresponding one of the plurality of electronic devices;
- and
- an interface configured to allow passage of an electrical signal from the antenna through a wall of the RF shielded cabinet to a terminal mounted on the outside of the RF shielded cabinet;
- a test computer coupled to the frame, wherein the test computer includes a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, and wherein the test computer is operably connected to the terminal of each of the plurality of RF shielded cabinets;
- a display coupled to the frame, wherein the display is operably connected to the test computer;
- wherein the test computer is configured to simultaneously test each of the plurality of electronic devices
- wherein each of the plurality of electronic devices includes an identity code;
- a scanning device operably connected to the test computer, wherein the scanning device is configured to read, for each of the plurality of RF shielded cabinets and the corresponding one of the plurality of electronic devices, the unique identifier of the RF shielded cabinet and the identity code of the corresponding electronic device, and transmits the unique identifiers and the identity codes to the test computer;
- wherein the test computer receives the unique identifiers and the identity codes from the scanning device and associates each unique identifier with the identity code of the corresponding electronic device, and associates each of the identity codes with a predetermined test procedure for that identity code;
- and
- wherein the test computer sends a signal to the plurality of RF shielded cabinets to test the plurality of electronic devices based on the associated identity code.
