QUICK TEST
The Quick Test mode makes it fast and easy to test a system by eliminating the need to
disconnect panel from remote connections to the Fire Department or other monitoring stations.
In this way, operator can test all devices locally without annunciating any condition to remote
connections.
To configure the Quick Test parameters, enter L2 user level and navigate to the Quick Test
item in the Operate menu. Configure the following parameters prior to starting Quick Test:
•
Quick Test Time – FC901 will automatically quit Quick Test mode after the configured
time
•
Disable Output – Doesn’t activate any output on events in Quick Test Mode
•
Annunciator Off – Doesn’t send any events to annunciators in Quick Test Mode.
•
History Off – Doesn’t record any events in History Record in Quick Test Mode
•
NAC Off – Doesn’t activate NAC’s in Quick Test Mode
To initiate the Quick Test mode, navigate through the menu using the following steps:
1) Login at L2 or L3
2) Press the Menu button
3) Press right arrow to OPER
4) Press down arrow to Quicktest
5) Press OK
6) Modify Quicktest parameters as needed-(time, NAC on/off, etc…)
7) After setting all Quicktest parameters, and while still in the Quicktest screen, Press the
Menu button
8) Press the OK button to initialize Quicktest
NOTE:The countdown timer will be indicated in the upper right corner of the main board
display
.
Test conditions will be annunciated on the panel to indicate that panel is in Quick Test
Mode. Initiation of any addressable device will not activate associated NACs if “NAC
OFF” is enabled in Quick Test mode.
By selecting the Extend (Quick Test) item in the Operate menu, L2 user can extend the quick
test time. L2 user can quit the quick test mode by selecting the Cancel (Quick Test) item in the
Operate menu.
HZM in Quick Test
Testing conventional detectors in Quick Test requires a few more steps than testing
addressable devices. Since the HZM only guarantees that one detector will stay in active at a
time, its detector loop must be reset after each detector is activated. This can be accomplished
in the following ways:
• By shorting the device loop for at least six seconds.
• By interrupting power to the device loop or the active device for at least six seconds.
Either of these methods will cause the active detector to reset.
The previous detector must be clear of smoke after resetting the loop or it will
generate another alarm.
