Automatic Test Reports

The D9124 can generate automatic test reports. Use this feature to test the phone lines.

NFPA 72 Central Station and Remote Station standards require that you send a test

report at least every 24 hours.

Test report schedules are programmed in the

Skeds

section of the D9112B Program.

See

S## Function Code S## Function Code

selection number

9–Test Report

for programming

requirements. You can defer the test report if the panel generates any report other than

the automatic test report. Use the additional parameter

S## Defer TestS## Defer Test

to defer the test

until the next scheduled test report.

The test report can be programmed to send additional system event information. See

Expand Test Rpt Expand Test Rpt

in the

Phone

section for more information.

The panel tries to send the report over the primary phone line first. If it fails, it switches to

the secondary phone line. It sends a PHONE LINE FAIL (in Modem II) or a TROUBLE

ZONE E (in BFSK) with the test report if it fails to reach the receiver the first time. A

PHONE RESTORAL (in Modem II) or a RESTORAL ZONE E (in BFSK) is sent when the

troubled line is used successfully.

Setting test times:

A D1255 or D1255R Command Center is required in order to set the

panel's clock and calendar. See the

Security System User's Guide "C-Time/Date"

(71-
