System test procedure
Once the system is calibrated and setup, you should conduct a series of tests to verify detection.
Run a UCM Response plot during the testing. Network based processors can be tested over the
network to verify network operation.
•
Cut detection
- Use the tap test, or weave a piece of scrap fence wire tightly into the fabric of
the fence and cut the scrap wire. Test each zone in at least three separate locations.
At each location, tap the fence fabric, or cut the scrap wire, the number of times specified by
the Event Count parameter (default = 4). (Pass = alarm after Event Count setting is reached)
PASS ____ FAIL____
•
Climb detection
- Have a tester climb on the fence fabric for at least as long as the Event
Duration setting plus one second. Repeat the climb test in at least three locations using both a
fast climb and a stealthy climb (default = 3 seconds). (Pass = alarm after Event Duration time
or Event Count setting is reached)
PASS ____ FAIL____
•
Fence lift detection
(This test may not be possible at all sites or on all fence types. Use care
to ensure that the fence is not damaged during this test.) - Have a tester lift or pry up the
bottom the fence fabric for a minimum of the time specified by the Event Duration parameter
(depending on the amount of fence noise being generated, the test may have to exceed the
Event Duration setting by several seconds). Repeat the lift test in at least three locations
(default = 3 seconds). (Pass = alarm after Event Duration or Event Count setting is reached)
PASS ____ FAIL____
•
Zone supervision
- Temporarily disconnect the TX connector from each sensor zone and
verify that a supervision alarm is declared in that zone. Replace the TX connector and verify
that the supervision alarm is cleared.
PASS ____ FAIL____
•
Auxiliary device inputs (Self-test)
- For Local control mode, activate the self-test for AUX 1.
The processor performs electronic self-tests. The self-test causes an alarm. The test can take
up to a minute, depending on the Time settings.
Activate the self-test for AUX 2. The processor performs electronic self-tests. The self-test
causes an alarm. The test can take up to a minute, depending on the Time settings.
PASS ____ FAIL____
•
Auxiliary device inputs
- For Remote control mode, the Aux inputs serve as auxiliary device
inputs to the host system. In this case, activate the connected device, and verify the status
change is reported by the host system. Repeat for Aux 2.
PASS ____ FAIL____
•
Relay outputs
- For Local control mode the relay outputs are used to report events. Cause an
event, and verify that the specified relay activates for a minimum of the relay hold time. Repeat
this procedure for each specified event (in the Output Configuration field).
For Remote control mode, the relays serve as output control points for the host system. Send
an activation command from the host system to one of the relays and verify that the relay
activates. Repeat this procedure for each relay.
PASS ____ FAIL____
