NOTE: These tests should only be performed by
trained personnel.
This document defines the recommended
periodic testing procedures for the Accutech
security systems. Accutech recommends that
these tests be performed (at the minimum) on a
monthly basis.
DISCLAIMER:
This chapter is intended as a guidance
document only. Each facility should review
these recommendations and modify as
necessary to meet their own unique security
requirements.
Periodic testing of these critical performance
functions can help prevent undetected security
system failures.
Zone Functions Tested
Accutech systems respond to RF signals
generated by the Tags. Most conditions occur at
a monitored zone, although, Band Alarms can
occur anywhere. In addition, the Accutech
System monitors non-Tag-related zone functions
such as Door Ajar and Supervisor. The RF
signals we will be concerned with during these
tests are:
 Zone – triggered when a Tag
approaches or lingers at a doorway, an
elevator, or other monitored zone
 Band Alarm (BR 4200 Systems only) –
triggered when a BR 42 Tag band is
loosened, cut, saturated, removed, or
tampered with.
Each exit point around the area of protection
should be evaluated to determine:
 if doors lock and/or elevators disable when
a Tag approaches
 if alarms are generated due to passage of a
Tag through an exit point
 if Band Alarm functions are operating
correctly (BR 4200 Systems only)
 if events are correctly logged in the system
computer(s) when chosen in the software
to do so
Test Equipment Required
You will need to designate Tags to be used
solely for testing purposes only.
For ES 2200 and IS 3200 Systems, designate
one Tag for testing zone alarms.
For BR 4200 Systems, you can designate one
Tag for testing zone alarms and Band Alarms or
designate one Tag for each alarm test.
