4. The LEDs on the last five devices tested should always be lit and the “points tested”count on the

display should increment each time a point is tested. If a printer is attached (and on-line), details of

the points tested will be printed as they are tested. For a description of the print-out, together with

instructions for printing the details of faulty and missed points, see “Print Data Menu,”section 3.8.

The solo test function will be automatically terminated one hour after the last device is tested,

if not terminated manually.

Do not quit the solo test function while devices are still in an alarm condition. (That is, if the key has not been removed from a

pullstation, or detectors still contain smoke). If you do, the AUTOCALL TFX-500M/800M panel will immediately signal an

alarm. Always wait five minutes after testing the last device to allow any smoke to clear from the detectors. Or, wait until the

Points-in-Alarm counter on the display reaches zero. (The counter is only updated by clearing it, then re-selecting the
display, using

NO/DELETE

and

QUIT

respectively).

YES/ENTER

. Go to step 7. and proceed.

3. If the point to be tested is not on Loop A, press

NO/DELETE

. The display will respond with the fol-

lowing message:

Loop B (Y/N)?

4. If the point to be tested is on Loop B, press

YES/ENTER

. Go to step 7. and proceed.

5. If the point to be tested is not on Loop B, press

NO/DELETE

. For AUTOCALL TFX-800, Loops “C”

through “K”will display one at a time as above.

6. If you make a mistake, press

NO/DELETE

. The display will return to that shown in step 1.

7. Once the correct loop has been chosen, the display will respond with the following message:

Point No.:

(Quit to exit)

000 activations

tact at a time. The contact must be active for 10 seconds, then de-activate the contact for 10 seconds

before testing the next contact.

The panel will increment the LCD display counter for each recorded contact activation.

10. To test multiple conventional detectors connected to a detector monitor module, activate only one

detector at a time. Activate the detector with smoke, and allow 10 seconds from detector activation for
