Sounders Choose from O or On.
Tone If sounders are enabled, select a short (6 second) or full tone.
Actuators Actuators are output devices used to control equipment like magnetic doors, other alarm
systems, gas valve shut o s, air conditioning etc. It would be normal for actuators to be
disabled in an alarm test.
Beacons Choose from O or On.
Callpoint Override When set to Yes, callpoints will cause an alarm and sounders will sound if operated in test
mode. If set to No, callpoints will not cause sounders to sound if operated in test mode.
Sound Area Choose any previously set-up sound areas to activate in an alarm condition during the test.
Fire Relay Choose from O or On.
Timeout This is the amount of time before the system will automatically exit test mode operation.
Users can select a period of 1 to 48 hours. In order to comply with EN54 part 2, this
setting should not be set to anything other than ‘0’. Selecting a timeout period of ‘0’ will
keep the system in test mode inde nitely, until the test is disabled by the user.
When any zone is in test mode, the ‘Test Mode’ LED on the panel will be illuminated.

is recommended that the system should be tested weekly; however sounders only need to be
tested on a monthly basis. See section 16 for a suggested test schedule.
