3.8 Installation Testing

Initial Power-up Check

Power up the panel by engaging the fuse spur to supply 
mains, then connect the white socket of the battery cable to 
the power supply (see Figure 22).

Check that all indicators turn on in turn momentarily and turn 
off again.

Only the power on indicator should be lit afterwards.

Any fault indications should be investigated and corrective 
actions taken before continuing with the installation tests 
(see section 2.7 for fault indications). All corrective actions 
should be undertaken with the panel powered off.

If there are detectors or manual call points showing the fire 
condition then the panel should be reset to clear the fire con-
dition before the zone is re-enabled. Check that the following 
outputs are in the correct state:

• 

Auxillary Output (30V)

• 

Fire Relay (C/NC)

• 

Fault Relay (C/NO)

• 

Interlink Relay (C/NC)

• 

FRE (0V, if fitted)

• 

FPE (0V, if fitted)

Installation Instructions

WARNING

Zone Fault Detection Check

Repeat the following per zone:

  • Disconnect the last detector head on the zone then  
    check the following

  

  General fault indicator (amber) is on.

  

 Correct zone fault/disable indicator (amber) is fast  

      flashing for detector removed fault.

  

 Fault relay has switched over to C/NC.

Connect the detector back on its base then check the  
following

  

  General fault indicator (amber) is off.

  

  Zone fault/disable indicator (amber) is off.

  

  Fault relay has switched back to C/NO.

Press button 5 “Mute Buzzer” to silence the panel  
buzzer.

Battery Fault Detection Check

Disconnect the battery.

After about 20 seconds check the following:

  •  General fault indicator (amber) is on.

  •  Battery/Mains fault indicator (amber) is flashing for  
  battery 

fault.

  •  Battery/Charger fault indicator (amber) is on for charger  
  fault.

Connect the battery.

After about 4 seconds check the following:

  •  General fault indicator is off.

  •  Battery/Mains fault indicator is off.

  •  Battery/Charger fault indicator is off.

Press button 5 “Mute Buzzer” to silence the panel buzzer.

Zone Fire Detection Check

Repeat the following per zone:

  • Place the individual zone into Zone Test mode (see  
  section 

6.7).

  •  Activate a manual call point (or a detector if there is no  
    call point on the zone) in that zone and then check the  
  following:

  

  General fire indicator (red) is on.

  

  Correct zone fire indicator (red) is on.

  

  All fire alarm devices are sounding.

  • After approximately 3 seconds the system will 

 

    automatically silence and the fire indication will clear.

  •  Take the zone out of Zone Test mode (see section 6.7).

Reset the system to clear all fire indications.

DO NOT FIX ANY FAULT CONDITIONS WITH THE SYSTEM 
STILL POWERED UP, THIS IS PARTICULARY IMPORTANT 
WITH SHORT CIRCUIT FAULTS ON ZONES AS THE PTC 
FUSE NEEDS TIME TO RECOVER.
