18. INTERCOM UNIT TEST MODE
The intercom unit Test Mode allows all input devices to be tested on a per-flat basis without putting an alarm call on
the system. Once in Test Mode the intercom will beep as each device is activated, the system log will record each test
with the flat number, device type, time and date.
The intercom must be in a quiescent state to enter Test Mode, i.e. not in privacy mode, no message waiting, no alarm
call in progress and not awaiting Extracare cancellation.
TO ENTER TEST MODE
Press and hold the grey SPANNER button for about 5 seconds until the intercom beeps once - then release within 2
seconds or the Test Mode will not be enabled.
When the intercom is in Test Mode the white LED will be lit and a 7-tone ascending scale will play once.
Upon activation of each device the intercom will beep twice confirming that the controller has received the test alarm.
Each test alarm is recorded in the Manager’s Panel “Event Log”.
Once in Test Mode certain conditions have been set to cater for the activation of PIR’s and r
adio devices. These are as
follows;
Radio devices should be tested first - once any other hardwired devices (excluding
the PIR) are activated no further
radio devices will be logged as tested.
Hardwired PIR’s are only reported every 30 seconds
- this is to allow movement through the accommodation to get to
the next device without re-triggering the PIR.
When a ceiling pullcord is activated all pullcord reassurance LED’s will be illuminated for 2 seconds.
TO EXIT TEST MODE
The Test Mode duration is set at 10 minutes or it can be terminated at any time by pressing the grey SPANNER button
once again. The intercom will then play a 4-tone descending scale.
Only 1 intercom can be in Test Mode at any one time
Press and hold the grey SPANNER
button for about 5 seconds until the
intercom beeps once then release...
7 ascending tones will sound and
the button LED will illuminate
white when test mode is enabled.
