User Manual Facility Performance Testing 7-
System Supervisor Test (Tx)
This test will evaluate the System Supervisor
Test through a Tx wand antenna.
Notify staff and security that you will be testing
zone performance and alarms will be generated.
They should pay special attention to traffic
during this time.
1. Place a 4”x4”x2” electrical box (or an
equivalent piece of metal) next to the Tx
Wand Antenna. This will simulate a
damaged antenna.
2. A Supervisor alarm should register and
an alarm may sound.
3. Verify the alarm is logged on the central
computer and any other remote
computers networked to it.
4. Record the results (pass or fail).
5. If the test fails to cause a Supervisor
alarm:
a. Notify staff and security of the
vulnerable area.
b. Check for visible damage or
tampering to the zone equipment.
c. Have a maintenance technician
verify power to the zone equipment
d. Call your Accutech Representative.
6. Remove the electrical box away (or
equivalent) from the Tx Wand Antenna.
The Supervisor alarm will cease. If
necessary, clear the alarm on the PC.
System Supervisor Text (Rx)
Each time a Tag is detected in a zone (as has
been the case in each of the previous tests) the
Zone Receiver functionality is tested.
In addition, Receivers are self-tested on a
predetermined interval (set during installation).
Therefore, it is not necessary to perform a test
dedicated to testing the System Supervisor
through Zone Receivers. However, if you would
prefer to do so, consult your system maintenance
technician for assistance.
Fire Panel Interface (FPI) Test
State codes require that all Lock and Elevator
Deactivation Circuitry be wired into a facility’s
fire alarm system. In Accutech Systems this is
done via the Fire Panel Interface (FPI).
This is done so in the case of a fire, any Lock or
Elevator Deactivation unit disengages, allowing
free egress or ingress. For more information on
this policy, check your local codes.
This test should be performed concurrently with
your facility’s fire alarm test.
1. Using an S-TAD, activate a test Tag.
2. Activate your facility’s fire alarm.
NOTE: The LED on the FPI enclosure
will blink.
3. Proceed to each zone to be tested and
verify that doors are unlocked and
egress is possible. Elevators should be
inoperable due to the fire alarm.
4. Record the results (pass or fail).
