6.5 Test
6.5.1 Detector test
The 'Detector test' is a hardware function test for the devices and their assignment
to ↑ 'Detection tree'.
In 'Detector test' the fire detection installation has the following properties:
● The automatic detectors are set to high sensitivity.
● No alarm is triggered, but a ↑ test activation is indicated as a message, logged
in the event memory and printed out if need be.
● ↑ Alarm devices or controls are not activated except for the following:
– The 'External AI activation in detector/walk test' setting can define if the
output of the detector is activated in 'Zone' in the 'Detector test' or 'Walk
test' modes.
● No danger messages or fault messages are generated.
● With a superordinate function, all 'Zones' of the 'Section' or 'Area' for the
'Detector test' can be selected.
An activated detector from a detector zone in 'Detector test' test mode generates a
test activation message instead of a ↑ danger level. No alarm devices or controls
are activated.
After termination of the 'Detector test', the normal detector sensitivity is set again to
that prior to beginning the 'Detector test'.
The 'Detector test' can be configured with a time out for terminating the test mode.
The 'Detector test' is available for all detector zone types.
6.5.2 Installation test
The 'Installation test' is a test of all functions of the complete fire detection
installation including the 'Fire control' and alarming in normal operation.('No
messages in system').
In 'Installation test' test mode the fire detection installation has the following
properties:
● The automatic detectors are set to high sensitivity to avoid long waiting times
when the detectors are activated.
● The alarm is activated.
● The ↑ alarm devices and controls are activated.
● With a superordinate function, all 'Automatic zones' of the 'Section' or 'Area' for
the 'Installation test' can be selected.
No activation of manual call point zones
Manual call point zones are not activated in the 'Installation test'. The 'Installation
test' is not available for manual call point zones.
Flashing behavior of the detector in test mode
If the 'Installation test' is activated for a zone, the internal alarm indicators of the
detectors in the zone indicate the test mode by a particular flashing behavior.
At the same time, the internal alarm indicators of manual call points indicate
normal operation, since the 'Installation test' is not available for manual call point
zones.
You will find more information on the flashing behavior of the internal alarm
indicator in the technical manual of the corresponding detector.
