Note 1:
The STU should not be commissioned if a data device is busy using the telephone line.
Note 2:
If an MCD is fitted it will disconnect the telephone or data device connected through it during commissioning.
Apply power to the alarm panel and the STU and observe the status indicators. The red and green LEDs will slow flash
together (on for 2.5 seconds approx. and off for 2.5 seconds approx.).
During the commissioning procedure, the STU will be "upped" on the landline.
Call the ARC, preferably using the same line as the STU, and ask them to commission the system ("Up the STU").
You will hear a short series of ‘chirps’ on the line. The green STU Status LED will give a short flutter each time a landline
message, heard as a "chirp", is sent or received.
When the ARC confirms that the system is commissioned the green STU Status LED should flash every 5 seconds. The red
STU Status LED may either be off, or produce short flashes every 10 seconds. The short flashes indicate the number of
alarms triggered.
If, during the commissioning procedure, power to the STU is interrupted, even momentarily, the above procedure will
have to be repeated.
Testing the System
Once the STU has been commissioned, all of the used alarm inputs and relay outputs should be tested. To test the alarm
inputs you must be in contact with the ARC.
Each alarm should be tested in the following manner:
a) Trigger the alarm (the red STU Status LED should give one quick flash every 10 seconds signifying one alarm has been
triggered).
b) Ask the ARC to confirm that it has received the alarm message.
c) Ask the ARC to acknowledge the alarm.
d) Remove the alarm trigger (the red STU Status LED should stop flashing).
e) Ask the ARC to confirm that it has received the reset message.
f) Ask the ARC to acknowledge the reset.
If personal attack buttons form part of the system they must be tested as above.
If used, the Control Output should be tested as follows:
a) Ask the ARC to turn on the Control Output.
b) Confirm that Control Output is activated (e.g. Remote Reset).
c) Ask the ARC to turn off the Control Output.
d) Confirm that the Control Output is deactivated.
