5 Testing

After installation of the system a thorough test must be carried out, to ensure that the system works as intended.

5.1 Testing basis components

5.1.1 Testing Alarm

Select 

 

 

Alarm settings

.

Activate 

Alarm test

 to start testing.

Check that the alarm lamp is flashing.

Check that the alarm system alarms as intended.

Press 

Acknowledge

 to finish testing.

The test should then be made every week.

5.2 Testing optional components: Manual control

During testing, and in a service situation, the individual components connected to the climate or production con-
troller and be switched from automatic to manual control. Thus, you can easily test the optional components
such as winch motors, etc.

In the menu 

Manual/auto

 the house controller displays the components selected in the menu 

Installation

.

Automatic control:

 Normally the controller must be set to automatic control.

Manual mode:

 During start up, or in a service situation, it may be convenient to control the individual functions

manually.

The component currently set for manual control are listed in the

menu 

 

 

Technical | Manual/Auto | Manual mode

.

The manual control can also be deactivated here.

Select the function to be tested and test the components one at
a time.

A colored bar at the top of the page indicates that a component
is set for manual mode.
