Battery Test
When AC power is present, the VISTA-100 will run a brief battery test every
60 seconds to determine if there is a battery connected, and will run an
extended battery test every 24 hours to check on the battery’s condition. If
the VISTA-100 finds that the battery voltage is low (less than approx. 11.5V)
during one of these tests, it initiates a keypad “System LoBat” display and a
rapid console beeping sound. It also sends a low battery report to the
central station (if the dialer feature is used). The console can be cleared by
entering any security code + OFF, and a restore report will be sent to the
central station after a subsequent test indicates that the problem
(disconnected or low battery) has been corrected.
If used, the PS24 will also run a brief battery test every 60 seconds to check
that a battery is connected, and will run an extended battery test every 17
hours to check the actual battery condition. If the PS24 finds the battery
voltage low (less than approx. 23V), it will open circuit its LOW BATTERY
output. Be sure to wire this output to one of the VISTA-100's EOLR
supervised zones (zones 3-8; program for 24 hour trouble response (zone type
19) so that the VISTA-100 wil initiate the required local annunciations and
dialer reports.
Dialer Test
The VISTA-100 may be programmed to automatically transmit test reports
to a central station at intervals ranging from once per hour to once per 999
hours (field *27). UL requires that a test report be transmitted at least once
every 24 hours. The VISTA-100 can be programmed to send the first report
at any time of the day, or at any day of the week after power up (field *83).
Fire Drill Test (code + [#] + 69)
This test causes fire bells (or any bell having a non-zero response type in
field 3*10) to be activated (in either steady or pulsing manner as
programmed in field 3*15) for the purpose of conducting a fire drill or a bell
test. This test can only be activated by the installer or a master user by
entering the corresponding security code and pressing [#] + 69 while the
burglary portion of the system is disarmed. Consoles will display "FIRE
DRILL ACTIVE" while this test is active. The test may be stopped by
entering any security code and pressing OFF. Note that the system
continues to monitor all 24 hour zones (fire, panic, etc.) while this test is
active, and will end the test when an alarm condition is detected. This test
should be conducted at periodic intervals as determined by the local
authority having jurisdiction.
One Man Fire Walk Test (code + [#] + 68)
This test causes the system to sound console beeps and bell dings in
response to fire zone faults (zone type 9, 16 & 17) for the purpose of allowing
proper zone operation to be checked without triggering alarms. Note that
the system will not be operational as an alarm system (i.e. cannot sense
alarms) while this test is active. The test can only be activated by the
installer by entering the installer’s code and pressing [#] + 68 while the
burglary portion of the system is disarmed. This test should be conducted at
periodic intervals as determined by the local authority having jurisdiction.
