3.3.4 Test mode on the manual call point
You can activate test mode in the fire control panel by opening the door, and
deactivate it by closing the door again. The test mode is only active for a short time
and is indicated by the green LED. Therefore, you should work quickly to complete
the steps between opening the door and closing it again. Make sure you do not
unintentionally activate an alarm. See the chapter 'Checking function [ 29]'.
Please observe the documentation for your fire control panel.
Not every fire control panel allows test mode to be activated automatically. For
some fire control panels, this function must be set explicitly. This setting may be
automatically deactivated under certain circumstances. So that test mode can
also be used from the manual call point with an FC20xx/FC72x fire control panel,
MC link communication, for example, must be active.
Enabling on FC20xx fire control panels
You will find more information for FC20xx fire control panels in 'Enabling detector
exchanger and tester communication' in document number 008838.
Enabling on FC72x fire control panels
1. In the main menu, select the 'Functions' menu item.
The 'Functions' window is open.
2. Select 'Maintenance' and confirm with <ok>.
A list of all element categories on which a command of the 'Maintenance'
command group can be executed is indicated.
3. Select the 'Element category' 'Station'.
The 'Enter address' window is open.
4. Enter the number of the 'Station' on which you want to enable communication
with the detector exchanger and tester and confirm with <ok>.
The 'Select command' window is open.
5. Select the 'Enable MC link' command and confirm with <ok>.
Communication is now enabled.
Automatic deactivation of test mode, e.g. for FC20xx/FC72x:
Once a specified time has elapsed, deactivation occurs after 60 seconds.
Deactivation occurs immediately when a customer text, for example, is
downloaded.
Deactivation occurs immediately when the double CPU is changed over.
