Service mode
Select the Activate service mode option to avoid accidental activation or
deactivation of outputs or output groups (local or remote) during tests.
In this mode the control panel indicates and logs activation events as configured
but does not activate or deactivate the corresponding output. This can be used to
verify control panel event configuration and to verify that outputs are not
activated accidentally.
Note: An automatic timeout for Service mode may be configured at Installer
level. See “Service mode timeout” on page 64.
To activate service mode:
1. Select Test from the Main menu, and then select Service mode.
2. Select Activate service mode, and then select YES (to activate service mode)
or NO (to deactivate service mode).
3. Select Global, and then select YES (to activate service mode across the
network) or NO (for local testing only).
4. Press F2 (Exit) to exit the menu.
Remember to exit service mode when all tests are completed.
