Chapter 4 – System Testing and Fault Indication
General
The Abacus panels contain no user serviceable parts. Removing of the covers will bring up a tamper or
alarm condition and will expose you to the risk of contact with lethal voltages.
System testing should be carried out regularly, to quickly identify any problems that may have
developed, so that they can be rectified.
Most user checks should be completed as habit as you set and unset your system.
Each day as you unset the system, read the display and investigate any messages displayed.
Internal Sounder Checks
Each day, as you set and unset your Abacus alarm panel, check that your exit/entry tones can be heard.
Also, regularly, check that the chime tone is generated from the exit terminator push, and any zone
programmed as chime.
Zone Tests
Caution. On systems with remote communicators, PA and Fire zones should NOT be tested by
the user as they are always active and will ring the Bells etc. and signal to central
station. On other installations will ring the bells etc. Testing of the PA and Fire zones
should not be tested by the user and therefore left to the alarm engineer.
On a regular basis, it is recommended to activate each detector in turn, to ensure that the detector is
working correctly as follows:
From the day mode, enter the Main or Master code.
At this display, press the
NO
key. (XXXXXX = Code holders name if
programmed).
On Version 7000 software, this display appears to allow you to return to the
day mode if you have made a mistake, press
YES/PART
key to continue
