| There is not a way to test POPITS with a multimeter that I am aware of.

number

Then

whatever

zone

with
| a lot of POPITS is that the extra or missing POPIT number showing at the
| keypad means almost nothing once its timing is off. There is a divide and
| conquer troubleshooting technique that takes many hours to use to discover
| the guilty dog.
