System test started
Walk the site to
check all units OK
During System Test mode, the WES
3
network isolates all devices in the
network, allowing full physical testing of each unit, without activating
the site-wide alarm. Emergency Call points can be triggered manually,
and Sensors can be tested using standard test equipment such as
smoke spray or a heat probe.
Cancelling a System Test
Once the System Test is complete, return to the Emergency control
unit and press the button to complete the test. It is important
to be aware that, whilst in System Test mode, the WES
3
network
is inactive and a site wide alarm cannot be triggered from any unit.
The test must be exited from the Emergency control unit in order to
reactivate the network.
Note : Following initial installation, wait for a minimum of 60 minutes
before starting the rst system test. During this time, the WES
3
units
will self-calibrate to adjust for background radio noise which may
impact the accuracy of the system test.
The test result is indicated as follows:
Pass Green LED solid illumination
Radio OK, other fault
detected
Red LED ashes followed by Amber LED
group ashes to indicate fault (see ‘Amber
LED Indication’).
No Radio Signal Amber LED group ashes to indicate fault
(see ‘Amber LED indication’).
System Integrity Test (Polling)
WES
3
includes a System Integrity Test that can report on changes to
the network conguration, such as when additional or unexpected units
are detected on the network, or when units have been removed.
The Integrity Test is conducted automatically twice daily, and can also
be activated on-demand from the WES
3
Emergency Control Unit. To
activate the Integrity Test, go to the Settings Menu of the Emergency
control unit. The access code is required to access the Settings Menu.
The default PIN number is 1234. From the Settings Menu, select
System Poll to initiate the integrity test.
While the Integrity Test is being performed, the message “System Poll ;
Listening...” will be displayed on the screen.
System poll
Listening...
Any additional units that have been found on the network since the last
system poll will be displayed as a ‘NEW’ notication on the Emergency
Control Unit. Any units that have been removed from the network
since the last system poll will be displayed as a ‘GON’ notication on
the Emergency Control Unit.
In addition to the automatic system integrity test and the on-demand
polling feature, WES
3
provides immediate real-time notication when a
unit is removed from the network, displayed on the Emergency Control
Unit as a ‘REM’ notication. Note that system polling is limited to
the rst 128 WES
3
units added to the network. Beyond this number,
further units can be added but will be excluded from the integrity test.
