Functional tests
Create a short circuit and an open circuit in each zone to test fault reporting for
both types of fault.
If available, activate a fire manual call point to test manual fire alarm reporting.
The control panel should override any configured delays and activate alarm
notification devices and fire routing (where applicable) immediately.
Activate a fire detector to test automatic alarm reporting. The control panel
should initiate any configured delays and activate alarm notification devices and
fire routing (where applicable) once the delay time has elapsed.
Verify the extinguishing functionality without connecting the extinguishing agent
to the actuator. Test these functions:
• Manual (MCP Start) and automatic (extinguishing zone detectors)
extinguishing activation
• Emergency override manual call points (MCP Hold and MCP Abort)
• Disabling extinguishing switch (if available)
• Extinguishing activation sounders
• Remote manual-only control and safety door monitoring (if available)
• Delay to actuator activation
• Extinguishing released sounders and optical warning panels or signs are
activated by the extinguishing agent flow signal (if configured)
• Verify networking functionalities
Using a multimeter, verify that the fault relay is activated when a fault is reported
and that the fire alarm relay is activated when a fire alarm is reported.
