Commissioning the system
User information
6
Assuming that the installation instructions and installation checks
have been carried out successfully the fire alarm system is ready
for commissioning.
Each detector and call point should be tested in turn to ensure
that it operates, indicates the correct zone fire LED and operates
the alarm output correctly, ensuring all sounders/bells operate.
Walk test facility
A walk test function has been included in this range of panels to
enable one person (electrical contractor or installer) to test the
fire detection system without an assistant. This function is for the
sole use of the electrical contractor or installer and not for normal
operational use.

access code level 2 +
+
There are 2 access codes used by the control panel: -
access level 2 - client code (3112)
and
access level 3 - engineers code
These codes are displayed on the rear of the front panel.
The access level 2 code is also shown on the panel key fob.
Level 2 access permits the following functions:
- Silence alarm
- Evacuate
- Enable and disable zones
- Enable or disable sounders
- System reset
The access code (level 2 or 3) is enabled by pressing the five
control panel front buttons in the correct sequence.
An audible signal indicates that the access code keyed in is
correct.
Mute buzzer
Silences control panel’s internal buzzer
access code level 2 +
The walk test facility access code is located inside the fire
detection control panel.
Once the walk test code has been correctly entered the ‘test in
progress’ indicator will show and the buzzer will pulse, this sets
a time window of 10 minutes.
If a detector or call point is triggered within this period the
sounders will operate for a short time then the system will
automatically reset ready for the next call point or detector
activation.
If a detector or call point is not operated within the 10 minute
period then the system will automatically reset and return to
normal operation.
The walk test facility can be terminated at any time during test
by pressing the ‘reset’ button.
