1. Press Return on any of the failed zones.
The message “FORCE SET ALL?” is displayed.
2. Press Return again to inhibit all seismic zones that failed the test. (Alternatively, go back to the
previous menu.)
Setting proceeds as normal.
l
If some of the seismic zones that failed the test do not have the Inhibit attribute set or your
user profile user does not have the Inhibit right, press Return.
The message ‘FAIL TO SET’ will be displayed and no areas will be set.
There is no automatic seismic test for areas that are auto-set for any reason (for example, areas
activated by a calendar or trigger). Likewise there is no automatic seismic test when the system is set
with SPC Com or the browser. However, there is an automatic seismic test when a virtual keypad is
used with SPC Com.
No event is reported if seismic testing on set fails.
The periodic automatic system test timer restarts after a test is performed after setting.
19.1.3 Manually Testing Sensors
To manually test sensors, select the TEST > SEISMIC TEST option from the TEST menu on the
keypad.
A seismic manual test with the keypad can be done by the engineer in Full Engineer mode, and also
by a user of type Manager or type Standard:
l
An engineer is able to test all sensors in all areas configured in the system using any keypad.
l
A user is able to test only the sensors in areas that are both assigned to him and to the
particular keypad he is using.
To perform a seismic test in Engineer mode, select FULL ENGINEER > TEST > SEISMIC TEST.
To perform a seismic test in User mode, select MENUS > TEST > SEISMIC TEST.
Note: The following instructions apply to both engineer and user modes but note that only a subset of
options may be available to a user.
The following options are available in the SEISMIC TEST menu:
l
TEST ALL AREAS
Tests seismic zones in all available areas if there is more than one area that contains seismic
zones.
l
‘AREA NAME’
The names of the areas containing seismic zones are listed individually. When a specific area
is selected, the following options are available:
– TEST ALL ZONES
Test all seismic zones in this area if there is more than one seismic zone.
– ‘ZONE NAME’
The names of all seismic zones are listed and can be selected for testing individually.
The message ‘SEISMIC TEST’ is display on the keypad while the test is being performed,
If the test fails, the message ‘SEISMIC FAIL’ is displayed. If the “i” or VIEW key is pressed, a list of
the failed zones is displayed which can be scrolled through.
If the test succeeds, ‘SEISMIC OK’ is displayed.
