8.0 - Test Mode
Test mode allows a system to be tested with minimal disruption to the occupants of a building. When a
zone is placed into test mode the engineer can choose to disable sounders, actuators or any output
devices. Should anything happen outside of these selected zones the system will operate as normal
and the sounders will sound.
Once the various Test Mode parameters have been chosen, the Test Mode LED will illuminate on the
main panel. Once selected, the option is also given to save the parameters so that they can be used for
subsequent test mode operations. When a zone has been put into the Test condition, subsequent
alarms from devices in that zone do not appear on the Main Screen as an alarm, but appear as a “FIRE
TEST” event in the event log. Refer to section 9.2 – View Event Log.
8.1 - Test Zone – advanced, service and commissioning users
1.Main Menu>>3.Test Mode>>1.Test Zone
Scroll to the appropriate zone number using the
↑
or
↓
keys, and
press the
→
key to select that zone. Follow the on screen prompts
to set the test parameters.
Sounders:
If sounders within the zone are to be disabled, select
‘NO SOUND’
. Alternatively the sounders can be set to
‘6 SEC SOUND’
, where any activated sounders will
automatically silence after 6 seconds. This allows the
engineer to perform a one-man walk test, without
the need to return to panel to silence the alarm.
Timeout:
This is the amount of time before the system will
automatically exit test mode operation. A timeout
period of ‘0’ means that the zone will remain in test
indefinitely, until the test is disabled by the user. In
order to operate this panel and comply with EN54
part 2, this setting should not be set to anything
other than ‘0’. It can be set in 1 hour intervals and is
selected using the cursor keys.
Once completed, press
Enter
to place the zone into test mode with the chosen settings. ‘Zone XXX in
Test’ will be displayed on screen and the ‘Test Mode’ LED will illuminate. Multiple zones can be tested
at the same time, by selecting ‘Enter more Zones’. The zone tests will be visible in the
‘5-Tests’
section
of the quick menu.
8.2 - Clear Zone in Test – advanced, service and commissioning users
1.Main Menu>>3.Test Mode>>2.Clear Zone in Test
This option allows the user to cancel test mode for a zone currently
in test. Select the zone and press
Enter
. If no zones are in test the
display should show the screen opposite and the ‘Test Mode’ LED
will extinguish. Press
