ZONE FUNCTIONS
Zone functions are those relating specifically to the detection zones. Following is an explanation of their
operation and the keystrokes required to perform the function required.
ALARM TEST
ALARM TEST
#
ENTER
The alarm test function momentarily disconnects the detector lines of the zone(s) under test and simulates a
detector going into alarm, therefore testing the zone(s) alarm detection capability.
A resistive load equal to worst case alarm condition is placed on the zone for a period of 10 seconds and then
removed, if the zone being tested is not a latching type, the alarm will reset automatically once the load is
removed. Resetting the zone can manually terminate an alarm test.
Once the zone has alarmed, all outputs are initiated (as programmed) similar to a real alarm. The zone may be
isolated prior to alarm test if desired; this will prevent any outputs from operating.
The character "#" in the keystrokes above requires any one the following entries;
1,2,3,4........, 63,64 or "ALL"
If only one zone is to be tested, use the appropriate number. Alternatively the "ALL" button can be used to
simultaneously test all zones.
To perform an alarm test:
1.
Press the "ALARM TEST" button once, the buzzer will give 2 short beeps to indicate that alarm test
mode has been entered.
2.
LCD display will read "ALARM TEST MODE, ENTER ZONE No.".
3.
Now enter the zone number ("#")
4.
Press "ENTER"
A long beep will signify an incorrect entry and will revert back to normal operating mode. The "ALARM TEST"
button will need to be depressed again to re-enter alarm test mode. If a correct entry is made, alarm testing on
the zone commences immediately. However, remember there is a 2 second transient delay on all zones. It will
therefore take approximately 2 seconds before the zone registers an alarm (this could be longer, depending on
zone type).
