5.1 Loop Test
Access level 2
Loop Test is available via the Menu -
- Control - - Panel - - Loop. - - Test.
Invoking the Loop Test will drive the loop firstly from side A followed by side B and count all detected
devices on each side of the loop. These counts will be displayed upon completion of the test
prompting the user to press CANCEL to end.
The loop test also monitors for
 Over current and short circuit in single-ended mode
 Over current, short circuit and open circuit conditions in redundant mode.
If there were any latching loop faults prior to commencement of the test these will be re-tested and
cleared if no longer present.
Once the Loop Test is complete the loop is re-initialised.
5.2 Lamp Test
Access level 1 or 2
The Lamp Test is initiated by pressing and holding the LAMP TEST key and will include any add-on
indicator cards.
Note: The test will not start if there is a genuine alarm condition is present.
The lamp test performs the following two tests while beeping the panel’s internal buzzer until the
completion of the test.
 LED test – all front panel LED's shall be illuminated simultaneously. A Lamp test command
will be sent to the add-on modules to instigate their individually controlled lamp test
functionality.
 LCD display –all the pixels of the LCD and backlight are activated simultaneously.
The following will also apply:
 The lamp test is run while the LAMP TEST key is held.
 The test will not start if there is a genuine alarm condition present.
 A fire event is recognised during the test, in which case the test will be aborted and the fire
condition will be displayed.
If the results do not match those described above, the operator is required to note it and report it to
the Ampac Service Centre.
