FAULT TEST
FAULT TEST
#
ENTER
The fault test function momentarily disconnects the detection zone(s) under test and simulates the worst-case
condition for fault.
A resistor load equal to worst case fault is placed on the zone continuously for 5 seconds then the zone is
returned back to its normal condition.
If several zones are being tested consecutively and are being entered at a rate faster than the 5-second fault
timer, the fault timeout will occur 5 seconds after the last entry was completed.
Once the zone has registered a fault, all outputs relating to that zone are initiated similar to a real fault.
The zone may be isolated prior to a fault test if desired. This will prevent any outputs from operating.
‘#’ in the above key sequence is the zone number.
If only one zone is to be tested, use the appropriate zone number. Alternatively the "ALL" button can be used
to simultaneously test all zones.
To perform a fault test on a particular zone or on all zones:
1.
Press the "FAULT TEST" button once.
The buzzer will give 2 short beeps to indicate that fault test mode has been entered.
2.
The LCD display will read "FAULT TEST MODE, ENTER ZONE No.".
3.
Enter the zone number ("#") 1-64 or “all”.
4.
Press "ENTER".
A long beep will signify an incorrect entry and the panel will revert back to normal operating mode. The
"FAULT TEST" button will need to be pressed again to re-enter fault test mode.
If a correct entry is made, fault testing on the zone commences and the fault LED will illuminate.
