If the D9068P fails to send the Auto Test Report after ten tries, a Comm Fault Report is sent. The D9068P sends
the Comm Fault Report using its normal report routing. When it is time for the next Auto Test attempt, it is
conducted on the alternate telephone line, not the failing telephone line.
When it is time to send a report, the D9068P checks its status. When there are any alarms, troubles, or system
faults present, the D9068P sends the Off Normal at Test Report instead. When all conditions are normal, the
D9068P sends the Auto Test Report.
Manual Test
Initiate a Manual Communications Test from the DACT-PRG Keypad. Refer to
Section 5.5.4 3-TEST
on page 40.
When a Manual Test is initiated, you are prompted to select a telephone line (Line 1 or Line 2). After a phone line is
selected, a Manual Test Report is sent to the receiver using the specified telephone line.
When the Manual Test Report is successfully added to the report queue, the message COMMUNICATOR
INITIALIZING... appears on the DACT-PRG Keypad. This message remains on the keypad until the D9068P tries
to transmit the report.
While the Manual Test Report is sent, the DACT-PRG Keypad Display updates to show the telephone line being
used and the transmission attempt being made. The message COMMUNICATOR LINE 1, TRY 1 indicates Phone
Line 1 is being used on transmission attempt 1.
After the report successfully transmits, the DACT-PRG Keypad Display updates to show COMMUNICATOR
PASSED. After this message appears for 2 sec, the keypad emits a brief tone and the rotating Test Menu returns
to the keypad LCD.
Unless it successfully sends the report, the D9068P twice tries sending a Manual Test Report. This can take up to
3 min. The reports’ priority is reevaluated on each phone call attempt. If a higher priority event occurs while
attempting a Manual Test, the higher priority event is sent on the following telephone call.
4.2 Keypad
Operation
4.2.1 DACT-PRG LCD Keypad
The DACT-PRG LCD Keypad is an alphanumeric LCD keypad used for programming and debugging only while it is
connected to the D9068P. The DACT-PRG Keypad has a two-line, 16-character display showing information on
various D9068P programming functions. In most cases, the first line shows general system status information and
the second line describes the specific programming menus and prompts.
Refer to
Figure 10
on page 16 to connect the DACT-PRG Keypad to the D9068P via the AX-SEB.
Figure 11
identifies and describes the DACT-PRG LCD Keypad keys.
Refer to
Appendix B
on page 44 for information on error messages or messages indicating abnormal
operating conditions.
While installing the DACT-PRG Keypad, the system does not monitor the serial connection from the AX
Series Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel.
