Test Mode 

To aid commissioning and assist routine maintenance check, a non-latching ‘one man test’ facility is 
available. 
 
When a detector or manual call point is triggered on any zone in Test, the Alarm sounders operate for 
approximately seven seconds on and seven 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 to test, 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 reset.  At this point, zone retesting may resume. 
 

To Programme Zone In Test 

 
NOTE:  Only 

one zone

 can be programmed in test at any one time. 

 
1.  Insert and turn control key to enabled position; 

 

2.  Press engineer switch until the General Zone test LED is on (flashing fast); 

 

3.  Enter Engineer Code 4114 and then the General Zone Test LED is on (flashing slow); 

 

4.  Press scroll switch and Zone one fault LED will flash in synchronisation with the General Zone 

test; 

 

5.  Press scroll button to the desired Zone for test.  Once the desired Zone LED is flashing, this Zone 

is now in test mode. 

 

6.  Once testing of that zone is completed, press scroll button to move to another Zone or turn the 

control key switch to off position to exit test mode.
