Spanky,Noshali,
Not clear on what you mean: the data from 8 to 4.
"We recommend you leave the sensor undisturbed, in the
closed or non-alarm condition, for 5 minutes before testing
it. Waiting guarantees accurate test results because the sensor
has enough time to turn off its built-in power-saver feature,
which automatically turns on when it is tripped more
than once in a 4 1/4 minute time period.
When the power-saver feature is on, the sensor transmits
only half the usual number of data rounds when tripped. For
example, during a dealer sensor test you normally expect to
hear up to 8 data rounds. When the power-saver feature is
on, you may hear only up to 4 data rounds."
I think what they are saying is a voilation during the "closed or non-alarm condition, for 5 minutes " will be sent 8 times. If everything is good the panel will receive 6 to 8 signals (data rounds). "When the power-saver feature isSpanky,Noshali,

He is talking about this documentation from GE posted a few posts back...
