TEST MODE
14.1 WHY USE TEST MODE
To aid commissioning and assist routine maintenance check, a non-latching ‘one man test’ facility is available.
When a detector, manual call point or input unit is triggered on any zone in Test, the Alarm sounders operate for approximately 10
seconds on and then switch off. The triggered device is automatically reset. The panel will enter the fire condition and indicate the
address of the fire. The panel automatically resets from the fire condition at the same time as the triggered device, but the LCD
indication remains until the panel is manually reset.
If the device is still in the fire condition, e.g. MCP still activated or the analogue value of a detector still above the alarm threshold,
the device will be triggered again and the Alarm sounders will operate for a further 10 seconds.
Should an Alarm occur on a zone that is not programmed to test, the Fire Alarm Panel will operate as normal.
14.2 TO PROGRAMME ZONE IN TEST MODE
Turn the keyswitch clockwise to the Controls Enabled Position. The controls Active LED will light.
Press any key followed by the Level 1 password (default1111). Select Zones then Test.
The LCD displays the following:
Enter the range of zones to be put in to test mode. Change [No] to [Yes] if you
require the Alarm sounders to operate as described in Section 14.1. If the
Sounders are not enabled, a zone of devices can be tested silently. All of the
events in 14.1 will occur apart from the sounders turning on and off again after
10 seconds.
TEST ZONE
RANGE: <001> TO : [001]
ENABLE SOUNDER : [No]
[Accept]
[Exit]
Press [Accept]. Note that this is the “SELECT ZONES TO TEST” screen. It is possible to select more than one zone or range of zones to
test. So if ENABLE SOUNDER has been changed to [Yes], the panel registers that those zones will be tested with sounder activation,
then clears the screen ready for the next entry. (Ie the screen will revert to Zone <001> to <001> Enable sounders [No] when
[Accept] is selected.) Finally select [Exit] to leave the Test Zone screen.
NOTE:
When Enable Sounders is selected for test mode, the panel only operates the sounders in the zone that gives the alarm test.
When one or more zones are in test mode, the main screen on the LCD display changes from SYSTEM NORMAL to ZONES IN TEST, as
shown.
In the example, line 2 indicates that a total of 2 zones have been disabled, and
the 1st of these is shown on line 3. Zone 3 (Z003) has the text label THIRD FLOOR.
The zone no. and text label for each disabled zone can be displayed by pressing
the control buttons F1 and F2 which correspond to [ - ], the previous disabled
zone, and [ + ], the next disabled zone.

NOTE that if more than one of the disablement or test conditions described in sections 13 and 14, then the condition displayed
on the main screen is dependent on the following order of priority:
DISABLED ZONES (highest priority)
DISABLED POINTS
DISABLED PCB SOUNDER
ZONES IN TEST (lowest priority)
The control button F4 (labelled [NEXT]) can be used to scroll between these conditions.
