Battery Load Test
EURO 280 Systems may be programmed to perform an automatic battery load test at every
power supply at 7.00am each day. This will drop the power supply voltage below the battery
voltage, whilst monitoring the system diagnostics. The test will NOT take place if:
The End Station siren and strobe Output are live
The system is in Engineer Mode
Any battery faults exists
Any mains fault exists
The site option is not selected
If the test has already started, it will be aborted if any of these conditions apply, other than
entry into Engineer Mode. If the test is aborted, it will NOT be performed until the next day.
This is selected in SITE OPTIONS under “Do Battery Load Test”. The test may also be
performed as required, under engineer control.
4.1.55 Test Outputs
The engineer can test all the Programmable Outputs on the End Station and the output
module. This test can also be used to test the STU/ATE pins, select the output types you have
chosen for the pins and test them, the signal will be then sent out on both the programmable
outputs and the STU/ATE pins.
4.1.56 Test Communications
If the engineer is using SIA or Contact ID to signal events, this function can be used to send a
test signal to the alarm receiving centre (ARC).
