INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING MANUAL - REVISION 1.0 - 19.FEB.2007
Detector Tests
If the devices have been assigned to Zones (on a pre-programmed SIM CARD or via the programming
menus) then it is possible to test the detectors with limited or no sounder operation.
Detector Tests By Zone
Before starting clear all faults, put the system into Active Mode, and press SYSTEM RESET.
Enter programming mode and select function 7-3 Sounders on Test Activation. This allows you to choose
an audible confirmation that a device has detected a fire. The audible confirmation consists of a 1 second
period of sounder operation.
ALL SOUNDERS ON DETECTOR TEST activates the Panel Conventional and Loop Sounders.
Now select function 7-4 Test Zones to select the Zones which will be tested.
Exit programming mode, but DO NOT press SYSTEM RESET as this clears all test modes.
In test mode whenever a detector is activated the LED on that detector will be illuminated and the event will
be reported on the panel for 15 seconds. If selected, the sounders will also operate for 1 second.
Pressing TEST (QUEUE REVIEW) will report the Zones that are in Test Mode.
Unassigned Detector Tests
If the detectors have not been assigned to a Zone then they can only be tested in normal (Active) mode.
Using the programming menu ensure the system is set to Active Mode then exit programming mode and
press SYSTEM RESET.
Carry out a fire test on each detector. Confirm the LED lights on the detector under test. Confirm that the
fire is reported correctly at the Panel (and any Repeaters). Confirm that the sounders operate.
Note that sounders and detectors can be inhibited or delayed using the advanced features in the
programming menus. If the sounders do not operate as expected first verify all the settings for the sounders
and the device under test.
At this stage you may program the more advanced features of the system. The basic minimum usually
involves assigning text labels to the device and Zones.
Once you have completed this or if you have a pre-programmed SIM CARD then do not forget to carry out
the following steps:
Connect the batteries to the Panel as described in the Installation section of this manual.
Test that the battery monitoring is functional by temporarily removing the blue wire between the batteries.
After a few seconds the fault should be reported on the Panel.
When the blue wires are reconnected pressing SYSTEM RESET should clear the fault report.
Test that the primary supply monitoring is functional and that the battery system works. Switch off the AC
supply to each power supply unit in the Panel. After a few seconds the fault should be reported on the
Panel.
Reconnect the AC supplies and press SYSTEM RESET.
Confirm that the system is in Active Mode - the SYSTEM ON LED is permanently lit.
