9. ZONE TEST
9.1 WHY USE ZONE TEST
To aid commissioning and assist routine maintenance checks, a non-latching test mode facility is available.
When a detector or manual call point is triggered on any zone in Test, the Alarm sounders operate for approximately four seconds
on and four seconds off. This cycle continues until the cause of the Alarm is removed (either by the test smoke clearing from the
detector or the manual call point being reset), at which point, the detector circuit also automatically resets.
Should an Alarm occur on a zone that is not programmed as test mode, the Alarm will be processed in the normal way. The testing
of the zone in test will temporarily be suspended until the Alarm(s) from the other zones are investigated and then reset. At this
point, zone retesting may resume.
