Chime
Use this option to select Once, On or Off. Once causes keypads and loudspeakers to
chime only once for each zone that is triggered during the walk test. On generates a
chime every time a zone is triggered. Off switches off chiming.
System
This option allows you to walk round the entire system and test all the zones.
Partitions
Use this option to select one or more partitions, and test the zones only within those
partitions.
Use
or
to scroll up and down the list of partitions. Press
or
to display
“Yes” at the end of the bottom line to mark the partition as one you want to test.
Expanders
Use this option to select an individual expander, and test the zones belonging to just
that expander.
Zones
This option lets you select one or more individual zones, and test only those zones
and no others.
Use
or
to scroll up and down the list of zones. Press
or
to display “Yes” at
the end of the bottom line to mark the zone as one you want to test.
Zone Resistances
When you select Zone Resistance, the display shows the first of the available wired
detectors. Press
or
to see the other detectors in the list.
The bottom line of the display shows the zone name. To see the zone number press
or
.
The end of the bottom line shows the resistance of the zone. For 4-wire CC zones, the
display alternates between the Alarm resistance (“A”) and the Tamper resistance (“T”).
“O/C” means Open Circuit.
“0k00” means zero resistance or closed circuit.
Signal Strengths
This option allows you check the received signal strength from all the radio transmitters
belonging to the system.
The keypad display shows first: the strength of the most recent signal it has received from
a transmitter, and second: (in brackets) the minimum strength signal it has received from
the transmitter since the records were last reset. The control unit is always recording
signal strengths, whether or not you are using the Signal Strength menu.
Note:
If you have fitted a WAM to act as a repeater for weak detector signals, you will not
see any change in the signal strength reported for those detectors. However, you should
note the signal strength of the WAM, since that device is now passing on the information
from the detectors whose signal you are trying to amplify.
To reset the signal strength records press “D” while you are in the
Tests
– Signal
Strengths
menu. When you press “D” then the control unit resets the signal strength
records for ALL transmitters.
