Zone Self-Test
This feature provides an automated self-test for a selected group of localized
intrusion sensors (for example, glass break detectors, sound discriminators
and shock sensors) which respond to an artificial source of noise and/or
vibration.
Automated self-testing is especially useful when sensors are placed in high
security areas where failure cannot be tolerated.
Up to 16 zones can be designated for self-testing.
A sound or vibration generator should be used that can be placed close
enough to the sensors to trigger them when the noise source is activated.
A Utility Output acts as the source of switched power for the noise/vibration
generator (refer to
Sensors Test
, page 95). This is set to conform to the testing
schedule. The schedule defines the time and day for the first test and sets the
times for repeated tests over a 24-hour period.
A message is sent to the MS if all the related sensors are triggered during the
test (if a Report Code has been defined). Refer to
Report Codes: MainTrouble
,
page 142, for definitions.) With successful completion of the self-test, an entry
is also placed in the system's Event Log.
If, during the test period, one or more of the sensors fails to trip, a
self-test
failure
message is generated (refer to page 142) and sent to the MS. A record
of the failure is also entered in the Event Log.
Refer to the procedures on the following pages for details about setting up the
Zone Self-Test.
