3.4 How to Check Connection Between Processor
Unit/Cabin Panel/ Timer Reset Panel
You can check the connection between the Processor Unit/Cabin Panel/Timer Reset
Panel. The tested panel sends a test signal to the Processor Unit. The Processor Unit
receives the test signal then commands that panel to light or flash its LEDs and sound
its buzzer.
Note: If the Cabin Panel(s) are connected using 4-core cables (MPYC-4, or equiva-
lent), use the EMG call on the Main Alarm Panel to conduct the check. The TEST
switch on the Cabin Panel(s) is disabled when 4-core cables are used.
Push the TEST switch or RESET button (long-push) to start the test. The tested panel
is normal if its LEDs and buzzer perform as shown in the table below.
Note 1: The watch timer is not reset during the test.
