TEST MODE
Test Mode is used when testing the fire alarm system. In test mode the devices in the zone(s) in test,
detectors and call points etc, can be activated and the panel will automatically reset, enabling the system
to be tested by one person. It is possible to test head removal monitoring and to test the system with or
without the sounders.
To initialise Test Mode, firstly activate the controls by turning the key
switch or by entering the four digit code. Then press and hold the Test
Mode button (2) for 3 seconds.
After 3 seconds the panel will bleep and the Test Mode LED and Zone
1 Fault LED will pulse slowly, indicating that Zone 1 is in test

selection mode. The Sounder Status LED will also be pulsing rapidly, this indicates that the test will be
with
sounders. (Test mode without sounders is explained below)
Pressing the Test Mode button again will move test selection mode to Zone 2 and the Zone 2 Fault LED will
be pulsing instead. Subsequent presses will move the selection to Zones 3 - 12, dependant on the number
of zones fitted to the panel. I.e up to zone 4 on a 4 zone, 6 on a 6 zone, 8 on a 8 zone etc..
After the last available zone the next press will move the selection mode to the sounder circuits, indicated
by no Zone Fault LEDs on. This position selects whether or not the sounders will ring during test. Pressing
the button once more will move the selection back to Zone 1 again.
When the desired zone to be tested is indicated by a slow pulsing LED, use the ENTER button to select
it. Once selected the indicator LED will change to a rapid pulse. Pressing
ENTER again will toggle the zone between in and out of test. Then use
Test Mode button again to move to the next zone. Any or all zones can be
in test mode simultaneously.
When at the sounder status position, use the ENTER button to toggle
between testing with or without sounders. A rapid pulse = with sounders
(default), a slow pulse = without sounders.
