12.2.1 Periodic Testing And Maintenance
To ensure proper and reliable operation, it is recommended that system inspection and testing
be scheduled monthly or as required by national and/or local fire codes. Testing should be
done by a qualified services representative if a malfunction is encountered.
Before testing:
1. Notify the fire department and/or central alarm receiving station if an alarm condition is
transmitted.
2. Notify facility personnel of a test so that alarm sounding devices are ignored during the
test period.
3. When necessary, activation of Notification Appliances can be prevented by the DISABLE
function
Testing:
1. Activate a input via an alarm initiating device and check that the correct outputs activate
(Notification Appliances sound/flash, relays activate, alarm LED lights). Reset system.
Repeat for each alarm initiating device.
2. Momentarily open the following circuits one at a time and check for a trouble sign
-Notification Appliance (bell) Circuits.
- Initiating devices
3. If new batteries were installed, wait 48 hours before completing this step. Remove AC
power, activate initiating device and check that:
The panel indicates a ground fault trouble
condition (trouble message "GROUND
FAULT" displays).
An earth ground fault occurs when the panel senses an unexpected flow of
current from one or more of its terminals to the earth connection (Terminal 2).
Isolate the wiring that is causing the fault by removing wiring connections
one at a time until the earth fault is no longer present. Pause at least five
seconds after removing a wire before removing the next one.
5815XL module that has been physically
connected to the panel but is not being
recognized.
Check the status of the 5815XL green LED. If it flashes in the pattern .5 sec.
on / .5 sec. off, it is likely that the 5815XL has not been added to the system
through programming. JumpStart will add any 5815XLs connected to the
panel. 5815XLs can be added manually (see Section 9.2.2).
Check that the correct ID for the 5815XL module has been set through the
DIP switches. Assign ID#1 to the first 5815XL and ID#2 to the second
5815XL. See Section 4.5.1 for complete details.
If the wiring between the 5815XL and the panel is correct, measure the
voltage from 5815XL Terminal (+) to Terminal (-). Voltage should be in the
range 27.2-27.4V when AC power is present.
If the green LED is not flashing, the likely cause is incorrect wiring from
between the 5815X and the panel. See Section 4.7.1 for wiring details.
