Band Alarm Test
(BR 4200 Systems only)
For this test you will need a BR42 Tag to
evaluate the Band Alarm function. Test results
should be written down and kept in a test log.
Select different locations within the protected
area(s) each time you conduct this test so that
you will evaluate all Receivers in the system on
a rotating basis. Remember to test both
Auxiliary and Zone Band Alarm Receivers.
IMPORTANT:
Band Alarms can be generated anywhere
within a facility, not just at exit points.
Repeat this test multiple times varying your
position each time within an area to assure
there is no place where a BR42 Tag can be
removed without being detected. This
includes bathrooms, visiting areas, storage
rooms, and laundry rooms.
1. 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.
2. With the cloth band, place the BR42 test
Tag snugly around your index finger.
3. Using an S-TAD, activate BR42 test
Tag.
Proceed to the area to be tested, remove
the Tag from your finger and place it
loosely in the palm of your hand. A
Band Alarm should be generated.
NOTE: If you are testing near a Zone
Receiver you may also generate Loiter
alarms during this test.
