Testing The System
Fire Test
Use this function to test fire points to be certain they function properly. You can review
untested points at the command center to help pinpoint any problems.
Upon initiation, the fire test will test the fire alarm output and activate the command
center fire sounder for two seconds. The AC will be disabled for four minutes in order to
test the system’s battery power. If the battery cannot maintain the system for the four
minute period, the command center will appear to go dead. At the end of the four minute
period, AC is returned to the system and the panel restores. A message will be sent to
the receiver upon initiation and completion of the Fire Test. During the Fire Test, no
alarms will be sent to the receiver.
If there is no activity on the system for 20 minutes, the system will automatically exit from
the Fire Test and send a restoral message to the receiver.
Using Fire Test:
1. Press the ESC key on the D1256 Command Center to enter the menu, then press
NEXT repeatedly until you reach the
FIRE TEST ?
prompt. Press ENT.
2. The display shows
## PTS TO TEST.
3. One-at-a-time, activate the detection devices to fault each point.
4. As you activate each point, your command center will display the point text for 60
seconds and ring the fire sounders for two seconds. This verifies that the detection
device is working properly. The D9124 system automatically resets smoke detectors.
When a resetable point (such as a smoke detector) is faulted, the display shows
SENSOR RESETTING
for five seconds. During this time power is removed from
smoke power relays.
Activating a point more than once does not increment the test count. However, the
command center emits a brief tone and displays the point text each time you fault the
point allowing you to test multiple devices assigned to one point.
5. When all 24-hour points have been tested,
0 PTS TO TEST
is displayed. Press
ESC. The display momentarily shows
ALL PTS TESTED
before returning to idle
text.
6. During the Fire Test you may want to see the points that remain untested. When
point text is displayed, press ESC. The display shows
## PTS TO TEST
.
Press the
ESC key.
VIEW UNTESTED ?
is displayed. Press ENT.
## PTS UNTESTED
is
displayed. Press NEXT to see a list of the points that have not yet been tested. Move
through this list by pressing the NEXT key. To resume the Fire Test, press ESC.
##

To end the Fire Test, press ESC twice.
Automatic time-out returns the system to idle text:
If there is no point or command
center activity for 20 minutes, the fire test ends automatically, and the D9124 System
sends a restoral message to the receiver. The command center returns to idle text.
