If more than half of the system selected, a warning screen as below will pop-up. A
screen message came out trying to put in Test/Maintenance mode the only zone
defined.
Until the number of zones to put in Test/Maintenance mode does not exceed the
defined limits (50%), the selected items will change the status into TEST.
Only the ENGINEER user is authorized to set under Test Mode the whole system. By
pressing ENT on the Test command, a new window will appear showing the number of
channels (detectors or output) that you are going to set under Test mode. To confirm press
ENT (OK). A new window will appear to show the list of system’s zone marked with TST.
NOTE: The Zone TEST function is aimed at helping the Engineer during the Start Up. Indeed, after
the system has been switched on and the Control panel programmed, some communication faults
may arise from the remote Input modules or detectors connected on the RS485 buses. This
situation would generate a large amount of Faults (FLT) that could hardly be managed and would
require all Faults to be acknowledged before starting an adequate troubleshooting routine.
The Zone TEST mode allows to overcome this situation the following way: select the Test Mode, the
system zones and automatically all detectors belonging to these zone are set in test mode.
In the main window, close to each channel (detector) its status will appear: TST (under TEST) or
FLT (fault). Now it will be easy to verify, directly in field, which modules or detectors are not
communicating on the RS485 bus and so fix the issues.
When these fault are fixed, the channels status in the main window will change from FLT to TEST.
