Mode ’Detector test’
What is the «Detector test» mode for?
The mode «Detector test» allows individual on-site function testing of automatic fire detectors and manual call
points without generating an alarm message.
Automatic fire detectors are actuated with a special detector tester.
Interactive detectors are set to the special parameter set ’Test’ in order to achieve a fast activation with the de-
tector tester.
Manual call points are activated depending on the type:
– From externally with a special test key without breaking the glass pane or opening the housing.
– Simply by opening the door of the manual call point.
Test alarm is the active state of automatic fire detectors or manual call points in «Detector test» mode. A test
alarm does not generate a danger message in the control console. That means that neither acoustical alarm
devices nor remote transmission or any other control functions are activated.
Test alarms are recorded in the event memory and logged spontaneously, if a printer is connected.
How to set detectors or manual call points to mode «Detector test»?
This is normally done on the section level, but also possible on the zone level.
It is not possible to set an individual fire detector or manual call point (element) to «Detector test».
Zones or sections set to «Detector test» are displayed spontaneously as a message in the category ’Isolation’
