14. 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 or manual call point is triggered on any zone in Test, the Alarm sounders operate for
approximately eight seconds on and four seconds off. This cycle continues until the cause of the Alarm is
removed (either by the test smoke clearing from the detector or the manual call point being reset), sounders will
then stop activating.
Should an Alarm occur on a zone that is not programmed to test, the Fire Alarm Panel will cancel the test mode.
After the cause of the alarm has been checked, and the panel reset, test mode will have to be selected again to
resume testing.
