8.3 - Lamp/Buzzer Test – advanced, service and commissioning users
1.Main Menu>>3.Test Mode>>3.Lamp/Buzzer Test
This option will illuminate all the panels LEDs in sequence, to check they are working properly. The
panel buzzer will also sound. If the buzzer does not sound, check the buzzer enable jumper link is fitted
on the main processor board. See page 10 –PCB Layout. A quick lamp test can be performed from any
screen by holding down the
Menu
button for 2 seconds.
8.4 - Enable System Test – service and commissioning users
1.Main Menu>>3.Test Mode>>4.System Test>>1.Enable Test
If all zones are to be tested, the user can place the whole system into test mode. To comply with EN54,
zones should be tested rather than the entire system. Dependent on access level, the following options
may be available:
Sounders
Choose from Off or On.
Tone
If sounders are enabled, select a short (6 second) or full tone.
Actuators
Actuators are output devices used to control equipment like magnetic doors,
other alarm systems, gas valve shut offs, air conditioning etc. It would be normal
for actuators to be disabled in an alarm test.
Beacons
Choose from Off or On.
Callpoint Override
When set to Yes, callpoints will cause an alarm and sounders will sound if
operated in test mode. If set to No, callpoints will not cause sounders to
sound if operated in test mode.
Sound Area
Choose any previously set-up sound areas to activate in an alarm
condition during the test.
Fire Relay
Choose from Off or On.
Timeout
This is the amount of time before the system will automatically exit test mode
operation. Users can select a period of 1 to 48 hours. In order to comply with
EN54 part 2, this setting should not be set to anything other than ‘0’. Selecting a
timeout period of ‘0’ will keep the system in test mode indefinitely, until the test
is disabled by the user.
When any zone is in test mode, the ‘Test Mode’ LED on the panel will be illuminated.
8.5 - Disable System Test – service and commissioning users
1.Main Menu>>3.Test Mode>>4.System Test>>2.Disable Test
Select this option to disable any currently active tests. The ‘Test Mode’ LED will extinguish. To comply
with EN54, zones should be tested rather than the entire system.
BS5839 and EN54 specify which tests should be performed and at what
intervals. ALWAYS FOLLOW ANY TESTING SCHEDULE OR ROUTINE
RECOMMENDED BY THE SYSTEM INSTALLER. It is recommended that
the system should be tested weekly; however sounders only need to be
tested on a monthly basis. See section 16 for a suggested test schedule.
