Test Mode
ZONE TEST
To put zone(s) into test mode, enter code to activate controls and press the TEST MODE button on the
keypad. Now use buttons 1 – 4 to select which zone(s) to put into test mode and press ENTER when all
selections have been made. The test mode entry will “time out” within 5 seconds if the ENTER button is
not pressed. It is possible to have any or all zones in test mode at the same time. The Test Mode LED
will be on. The fault LED of the zone(s) in test mode will be illuminated and the internal buzzer will be
sounding. The operation of any smoke detector or call point will now ring all bells or sounders for one
second. The panel will automatically reset, providing that the detector is clear of smoke or the call point
glass is back in position. The alarms will then sound momentarily to acknowledge that the panel has
reset, so you can move on to the next device. Press the RESET button on the keypad at any time to exit
Test Mode.
The removal of a detector while in test mode will also cause the alarms to sound for one second and
then again momentarily when the detector is replaced, thus enabling a Detector Removal Monitoring
Walk Test. N.B the panel may take a few seconds to recognise a detector has been removed due
to it’s normal monitoring cycle.
ZONE TEST WITHOUT SOUNDERS
To test zones without the operation of any sounders, i.e. visual indications and panel buzzer only. Press
the TEST MODE button on the keypad followed by buttons 1 – 4 to select the zone(s) to put into test.
Then press the SILENCE ALARMS button and then ENTER. The sounders will now be disabled during
all testing. Should a zone which is not in test go into alarm the sounders will operate normally.
SOUNDER WALK TEST
A sounder test can be activated by pressing TEST MODE button and then using the SOUND ALARMS
button instead of buttons 1 – 4. This will cause the panel to sound all the bells for one second every
eight seconds, allowing the user to walk to each sounder to check that it is working correctly.
Remember to push each button slowly and deliberately. There is a half second delay on the
buttons to prevent misuse. The panel will bleep to acknowledge each push of the button.
