4.9.4 Testing Device Operation
Now that the detectors are all on line, check that they are all signalling back to the panel
correctly. This can be done at this stage with the bells disconnected.
Select Test Mode via the keypad for operation.
Set off devices connected to the system, the message that there is a fire should be shown on
the display and the FIRE LEDs on the front panel should light. The fire message should
indicate the correct device number and the correct type. The can be carried out on all of the
detectors etc. If printer is included in the panel, this should operate and print out the same
message along with the time of the fire.
Faults can be checked in a similar way, by disconnecting a device, this should be reported
back to the panel by lighting a DEVICE FAULT LED on the front of the panel and displaying
the message FAULT on the VFD followed by the location of the device and its type.
4.9.5 Final Commissioning
After all the above have been carried out successfully, you can then carry out checks on the
outputs from the panel as follows:
During a fire condition, the auxiliary relay should operate and the volt free contacts will
change state. These can be used for fire brigade signalling. All auxiliary outputs
can only be switched off once the fire condition is removed by pressing the SYSTEM RESET
push-button.
The bell outputs should provide 28 V output when operated. This can be stopped by pressing
SILENCE ALARMS push-button. This output can also be activated by pressing the SOUND
ALARMS push-button. Having tested all the basic operations the message and site
programming can be carried out. Refer to the Section 3, Operating Instructions.
Further device activations must now be carried out in order to confirm correct operation of
the programming.
Once commissioning is complete, the bell circuits can be connected and tested by using the
manual evacuate, SOUND ALARMS. Removing any part of the bell circuit wiring will create
a fault which will be displayed on the front panel LEDs and on the VFD display.
The final part of commissioning is to get a list of the devices logged on. This is achieved
using the List Loop Devices option of menu one and selecting each loop in turn. This should
again be finally checked against the specified device list as Installed drawings etc. for the
system.
If any site programming has been done a hard copy of this should be obtained. A final
Checksum Listing should be obtained and a copy left with the panel.
