Battery Check (8,1)
Immediately activates a battery test by switching off the AC supply,
and letting the backup battery supply power to the system for 2
minutes (default). If at any time during this test, a low battery
condition is detected, the ac power will be turned on and a battery test
fail report will be sent to the Monitoring Station (if a monitoring station
is programmed), or to any designated phone number in the Low Battery
Alarm Type.
The duration of the battery test in minutes (where the AC is off) is in
Location 721. Valid values are 0 to 254, default is 2 minutes. If the
duration is set to 0, the AC is off indefinitely until a low battery is
detected.
A battery test is performed at regular intervals according to the setting
in Location 720. The setting is in hours with a valid range from 0 to 254
hours. A value of 0 or 255 disables the automatic test. The automatic
battery test is always done on the hour, except for the first one initiated
by the Battery check menu.
(( An automatic Battery test at least once every 4 hours is
mandatory for UL installations.
Security Check (8,2)
The system does a Security Check similar to the one which is activated
when the system is armed, except that any activated detector is
announced once, until # is pressed to end this test mode. Any activated
detector, even 24 hour zones will not activate an alarm during the
duration of this test. This allows a walk test to be done on the
premises.
When the Security Check is started, all zones which are already ON will
be announced first. If a zone is in trouble condition, i.e. open or short
circuit with double EOL resistors, the Zone Number will be announced,
e.g. “Zone 4 Trouble”.
(( While in Security Check, if a zone does not announce when
activated, exit from Security Check by pressing #, and then
restart Security Check to hear if the zone is announced. if it is,
that means the zone is always open.
