5.2 Testing Relay Function
A relay on/off test can be performed using a LCD Programmer or Xtralis VSC Software. Refer to the LCD
Programmer Guide and the Xtralis VSC software Online Help for information on testing relays. An multi-meter
is used to check the relay has changed state. Pressing the mode/test button on the display for more than two
seconds will test all the LEDs. If the relays are connected to non-VESDA equipment (such as a fire panel) you
need to check that these tests register on the equipment.
5.3 Testing Devices
Detectors
The detectors can be tested using a diagnostic test from LCD Programmer or Xtralis VSC software. In the
LCD programmer select the relevant device, then the diagnostic option. In Xtralis VSC this option is available
by selecting the relevant device then the required test in the Device menu. Tests that can be performed using
this option are:
l
Smoke alarm test
l
Fault test
l
Airflow fault test
l
Sector test (VESDA VLS Detectors)
5.4 Documenting Test Results
The tests results should be recorded on a copy of the VESDA commissioning forms. Once the forms have
been completed and signed, they should be forwarded along with relevant attachments to all those mentioned
in Chapter 6.
Copies of the commissioning forms are available in the document library at www.xtralis.com (Xtralis
document number 12678).
