Alarm Test forces a zone into the alarm state. Once the zone is in alarm, you can check to see if
the system reacts in the way that it has been programmed (i.e., do signals sound in the correct
manner? do relays function correctly? etc.).
Note: When you force a zone into alarm if the zone is not isolated then any outputs that
are programmed to activate on alarm will activate, including Brigade signalling.
Follow these steps to perform an alarm test on a zone.
1. Press the <ALARM/FAULT TEST> key (on the Control Keypad until “ALARM TEST
READY” is displayed). The ALARM TEST LED will turn on.
2. While the ALARM TEST LED is on, press and hold the appropriate <ZONE ISOLATE>
key. The red Zone Alarm LED will turn on while the button is pressed.
Note: The Alarm Test function is cancelled if the Alarm/Fault Test key is pressed again,
or after 1 minute of no testing.
The fault test allows you to simulate a fault condition on a zone. This allows you to test the
manner in which the FIP reacts to the fault. For example, you may want to verify the operation
of the brigade interface.
Note: When you force a zone into fault if the zone is not isolated then any outputs that
are programmed to activate on fault will activate, including Brigade signalling.
Follow these steps to perform a fault test on a zone.
1. Press the <ALARM/FAULT TEST> key (on the Control Keypad) until “FAULT TEST
READY” is displayed on the LCD. The FAULT TEST LED will turn on.
2. While the FAULT TEST LED is on, press and hold the appropriate <ZONE ISOLATE>
key.
Note: The Fault Test function is cancelled if the Alarm/Fault Test key is pressed again,
or after 1 minute of no testing.
