7.0 Startup of the MR-2602
7.1 Prior to power up
•Verify that all field wiring is free of shorts, opens and grounds and that end-of-line devices are connected
and are the proper value.
•Verify that all modules and internal cables are properly seated in their location.
•Verify that all metal components are bonded to the incoming ground. Should measure zero ohms between
any metal part and the incoming ground wire.
•Verify that the polarity between the panel and connected devices is correct.
7.2 Power up sequence
•Connect the AC power first before battery.
•The panel goes into the Reset mode immediately. This lasts for 10 seconds and the trouble buzzer will beep
during the reset period.
•After the reset period ends, the buzzer goes silent, the green AC indicator should be ON and all other LEDs
should be OFF.
•If any LED other than the AC LED is ON then there is a fault in the system. Troubleshoot and repair the fault
before proceeding.
•If the battery is not fully charged, the battery fault LED will come on after about 2 minutes. Verify that the
battery is connected properly and if it is, it may take up to 24 hours to recharge the batteries. Once the
battery is charged, the battery fault LED will go OFF.
7.3 Default Operation
•On first power up, all programmable features will be in the default mode.
•Do a ‘Lamp Test’ to verify that all the indicators function.
•It is suggested that an initial verification of operation be done before the panel is programmed. Verify that
each zone will go into alarm and that each NAC operates the Notification Appliances and that the zone
alarm indicator(s) function. Each zone is defaulted as an instant ‘fire alarm’ and each NAC is defaulted for
‘steady’ output on alarm. An Alarm, Silence, Reset cycle will also verify that the push-button function
properly.
•Verify that each zone indicates a trouble on a zone open and that a ground fault on the extended
conductors is properly indicated.
7.4 Programming the Panel
•Program the panel for the operational features desired. (section 6)
•Record your configuration choices for future reference. (section 8)
•Verify panel operations and feature selections by initiating alarms and troubles as described above.
7.5 Final Verification
•Verify system operation and fault detection as required by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.
•Enable the ‘one-man’ walk test feature to test all the field devices and wiring.
