the control panel to recognize the alarm. Approximately 10 seconds later, the panel will reset the
zone of conventional detectors for 45 seconds. During this time, make sure the tested detector is

Solo Test Sounders ------ This function allows signalling appliances to be tested without first raising an alarm. It is possible
to test either ALL the signalling appliances, or the signalling appliances in one zone only. Proceed as follows:
1. Select the “Solo Test Sounders”option from the Test System menu. The display will respond with the
following message:
Zone no:
(Yes=all)
A blinking cursor indicates that an operator input is required. Entering zone “0”will cause only the common
indicating appliances to be tested.
2. Enter the number of the required zone and press YES/ENTER .
3. The display will respond with the following message:
sounders in
Solo test
exit with quit
All signalling appliances (in the selected zone) will operate for approximately 2 seconds every 30 seconds.
4. Walk around the site to all indicating appliances. Check for correct operation of the indicating
appliances.
5. When all the indicating appliances have been checked, press QUIT . The display will respond with
the following message:
Solo test terminated
6. The Solo test function will automatically terminate one hour after the solo test is completed, if not ter-
minated manually. If an alarm occurs during the solo test, the function will be automatically terminated
and the AUTOCALL TFX-500M/800M panel will respond as described in Section 1.1, “Quick
Response------Alarm.”
3.7. Isolate Menu
This menu selection allows for devices to be isolated so they do not respond to an alarm. Zones and points may be
temporarily isolated (taken out of service) for many reasons------device repair, circuit repair, etc. Only Customer Manager
status levels and above may access these menu options.
