Technical Handbook
8.3.2
Field Inputs Test
See Cautions above.
To carry out the Field Inputs Test:
1)
Login as an Administrator or Service.
2)
Inhibit the required Input Channels (see Ch.7.10 Inhibiting Channels.)
3)
Supply test gas for the input channels.
4)
System will display the gas reading and inhibit state.
5)
Pre-configured Inhibit outputs (relays and mA output) will be triggered but all alarm outputs are inhibited.
8.3.3
Cause and Effect Test
See Cautions above.
During this test, all field device inputs will be ignored by the Touchpoint Plus system. The Cause and Effect matrix will
be evaluated based on simulated input states and outputs will be generated.
This test has two purposes:
1)
To verify that Cause and Effect matrix configuration is correct by forcing the state of the input channels to
various combinations.
2)
To check that the output channels are configured correctly, including delay on/off times etc.
To use the Cause and Effect Test mode:
1)
Login as an Administrator or Service.
2)
Touch
Menu>System Test>Relay C&E Matrix>Relay Channel
.
3)
Touch the channel to be tested followed by [Select].
4)
The system will display a matrix of all the input channels that are linked to the output channel being tested.
5)
Select the input channel states that you wish to simulate, and touch on [Simulate].
6)
Check that the relay output state is correct and touch [Finish].
7)
Repeat steps 2 6 for the next channel.
CAUTION
Test outputs will be generated and relays will be activated during the Cause and Effect Test.
Ensure that relay activated output systems (i.e. emergency deluge / sirens etc.) are isolated before starting
the test.
CAUTION
Ensure that the system is returned to normal operation once testing is complete.
