14.3.1.2 Entering Test Mode
To be able to manually test points (detectors or manual call-points)
without automatic actioning of Fire Protection Equipment (FPE), Fire
Alarm Routing Equipment (FARE) or Fire Alarm Devices (FAD),
detection
zones
can be set in
test
mode
(ENTER TEST MODE). If a
detection zone has been set to test mode,
any
point connected to this
zone can be tested (with, for example, test gas) without automatic
actioning (i..e. audible indication) from sounders, bells, etc.
In the SHOW STATUS menu (main menu selection 1), you can now
verify that a point you have tested (for example, a detector you have
tested with test gas) operates properly - without audible indication.
As shown on the example below, a message on a status line will
appear (Alarm test), indicating that the alarm signal has been sent
from the tested point (in this example, P2, optical detector).
The zones in test mode will always appear on the display. From here,
you can also enter the SHOW STATUS menu directly.
In test mode, the automatic timeout (default 25 seconds in operation
mode / menu mode) is 20 times the default timeout (i.e. up to 500
seconds) provided that no alarms occur within the timeout period.
The procedure below describes how to set a detection zone in test
mode.
