3.3 Test Modes And Options
The test mode facility allows the system to be tested with the minimum of disruption to the premises. The options
are displayed below.
All test modes will automatically re-enable themselves after a preset period. The timeout setting is displayed on the
menu screen. On the EDA-M200 the timeout is not labelled but is located in the bottom right of the screen. This
time-out value can only be altered by the system engineer.
A pulsed panel buzzer is active while in test mode but can be silenced by pressing the Silence key while no faults
or alarms are being displayed.
To activate any of the test modes either highlight the option using the
∧
and
∨
keys and press enter or press the
appropriate number. The new status will be displayed to the right hand side of the line. To enable the test modes
‘Exit and save’ must be selected. Pressing cancel will not alter the test mode status. On the EDA-M200 options
are selected by pressing the appropriate number. The test menu on the EDA-M200 is available as option 5 from
the main menu. The test menu is relocated when accessed as an engineer - see section 7.0.
