Post-Installation – Field Test
Perform a field test (also known as "Walk Test") to ensure that all detectors function
properly. Please see the control panel's manual for a detailed explanation on how to
perform a field test.
Testing is automatic other than the activation of the detector that is done manually by
putting a magnet next to the detector's test point. See section 4.1.1 for a detailed
explanation on how to perform the test.
Ensure that the detector functions properly and is included in the necessary activation
matrices.
!
Warning
Do not apply naked flame to the detector!

Documentation
Mark the detector's address on the label.

Maintenance
The ADR-3000 control panel monitors the analog detectors continuously. Any abnormal
condition in the detector will cause a trouble signal to be displayed on the control panel.
4.1
Periodic Testing
Fire alarm systems should be checked periodically. Please refer to NFPA and local fire
codes to determine service frequency.
Use the control panel’s Walk Test mode to perform automatic reset. Please refer to the
control panel’s manual for additional details on how to perform Walk Test.
4.1.1 Test Procedure – Locally
1. Apply a magnet to the side of the detector next to the LED for 3 – 5 seconds. This
activates an internal testing circuit that simulates presence of alarm temperature in
the detector, tests the sensing mechanism and the detector's electronic circuit.
!
Warning
Do not apply naked flame to the detector!
2. The analog value representing the temperature will be transmitted to the control
panel for evaluation. The control panel will transmit a signal to the detector to turn
on its LED. During the test the detector’s values may be observed at the control
panel. Please refer to the ADR-3000 manual for additional information.
3. Once the detector is in alarm mode, it keeps the alarm condition until reset by the
control panel. If the control panel is in "Walk Test" mode, it will reset the alarm after
a few seconds. Please refer to the ADR-3000 manual for instructions on how to
conduct a walk test.
4.1.2 Test Procedure – From the Control Panel
It is also possible to test the detector using the ADR-3000’s “Monitor” option menu.
Please refer to the ADR-3000 manual for instructions on how to use and interpret the
monitor screen.
