TEST PROCEDURES
TO BE PERFORMED BY FACTORY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL
ONLY! CLEAR FIRE DOOR OPENING AND PROHIBIT TRAFFIC
THROUGH DOOR OPENING WHILE TESTING!
Testing does not affect normal operation of alarm system when
connected to release device/control panel. Testing of the release
device is independent of, and shall in no way be interpreted as an
alternative method of, testing of a central fire alarm system,
motorized operator and/or any other system component employed
on the fire door or counter fire door installation. Complete testing
and normal operation can only be accomplished with power
applied to unit. Door must be in open position with power applied
to unit to begin testing. The following procedures describe testing
of all options. Verify options ordered and installed with unit. All
tests may not apply. Refer to Figure 1 for location of all the LEDs
and switches mentioned in this section.
INITIAL POWER UP
1. Apply line power to the release device.
2. Power LED (red) will be lit on the bottom of the release
device.
MECHANICAL RELEASE
1. Depress and continue to hold test button on side of release
device. After the selected delay expires, the device will release
the end link and allow door to drop. Release test button.
2. Reset the door per door manufacturer’s instructions. Raise
door and then reset the release device by pushing downward on
the mechanical reset button at the top of the device. Fully
insert the end link through the side opening on the device and
release the reset button in order to latch end link.
CLOSE DOOR DETECTION (OPTIONAL)
1. Using the chain hoist or motor operator, lower the door to
fully closed position.
2. Verify that Close Door Detection LED (yellow) is lit indicating
door closure. Depress and continue to hold test button on
side of release device for 10 seconds. Close Door Detection
logic will prohibit the release device from energizing and
releasing the end link. Reset the test button.
3. Raise door to fully open position.
SUSPENSION OF POWER
1. Make sure door is in fully open position. Turn off all power to
release device. Immediately upon loss of power to the release
device, a mechanical release will be initiated.
2. Reset the door per door manufacturer’s instructions. Raise
the door and then reset the release device by pushing
downward on the mechanical reset button at the top of the
device. Fully insert the end link through the side opening on
the device and release the reset button in order to latch end
link. Press the “Reset” button on the side of the device to
reset the alarm loop.
After completing all tests, make sure the door is in its normal
condition (open or closed) and all power required for normal
operation is restored to unit. The release device is designed to
operate with power applied.
NOTE:
Testing shall be performed and witnessed for proper
operation.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Clear fire door opening and prohibit ALL traffic through door
opening while testing.
• Test every 90 days to assure proper operation of release
