Pressing

F3
will end the test and clear any alarm indications. It
will also
restore the zone’s enable/disable status to what it was before
the test was started.
The test passes when the zone goes into the alarm condition. The zone
will go into alarm condition only when all enabled points mapped to it
have gone into alarm. If this does not occur (e.g., because a device is in
Device Fail or all alarm-generating points are disabled) within three
minutes the test will fail.
Note: Each point put into alarm by the Zone alarm test will be logged (if
enabled) to the printer and history, show Alarm in their status and
activate any directly controlled outputs.
This test will allow all the output points controlled by the zone to be
operated. After the test command is confirmed, the zone will be
disabled. It is necessary to enable the zone to actually operate all the
output points. They will then operate for a programmed time (typically 5
seconds) or until the zone is disabled (
F2
), the test stopped (
F1
), or the
zone reset (
F3
).

Fig 6-22 – Zone Operate Test Status and Menu
During the test, the menu options are:
STOP TST
F1
– stops the operate test on this zone.
ENABLE
F2
– will enable the zone in order to allow the output points
to be actually operated.
RESET
F3
– stops the operate test and also resets any latched
states (e.g., faults) for this zone.
Note that both
STOP TST
F1
and
RESET
F3
will also restore the
zone’s enable/disable status to what it was before the test was started.
The Auto-Reset test allows
in-situ
alarm testing of detectors and devices
mapped to the selected zone without the need for a second person
resetting alarms at the
MX1
panel.
The test bypasses all filtering, i.e., AVF, SmartSense and FastLogic are
turned off, so that each device goes into alarm as fast as possible.
The Auto-Reset test uses the alarm devices to signal to the tester when a
device mapped to the tested zone has gone into alarm (or Active Input).
The alarm devices are operated for approximately 3 to 4 seconds, but
only if the alarm devices are enabled. As additional points are tested, the
alarm devices will operate as noted.
