Testing a zone
To test a zone, press the General Test button, and then press the corresponding
Zone button.
The test is indicated as follows:
• A steady General Test LED
• A steady fault/disable/test Zone LED
When an alarm is activated in a zone in test:
• The alarm Zone LED is steady or flashing, depending on the source of the
alarm
• Fire routing and other zone-dependent functions are not activated
• Unless configured otherwise, the fire sounders are activated for 5 seconds
and the Fire Sounders Start/Stop LED is steady (see the note below)
• Unless configured otherwise, the control panel buzzer sounds continuously
for 5 seconds (see the note below)
• The control panel resets automatically after 5 seconds and clears alarms for
the zone in test
To end the test, press the Test button, and then press the Zone button again.
If there is an alarm in another zone not in test, or if the MCP Start is activated,
the control panel responds to the alarm event as configured.
Note: The control panel buzzer and sounders may be configured not to sound
when an alarm is activated in a zone being tested.
Disabling or enabling the extinguishing event
Note: When the extinguishing event is disabled (or prevented) the control panel
does not report extinguishing alarms and the extinguishing event will not be
activated. The control panel will continue to report and indicate fire alarms in the
extinguishing area.
To disable the extinguishing event, press the General Disable button, and then
press the Preactivation button.
The disablement is indicated as follows:
• A steady General Disable LED
• A steady yellow Preactivation LED
To enable the extinguishing event, press the General Disable button, and then
press the Preactivation button again.
If an extinguishing alarm is reported at the same time that the extinguishing event
is enabled, there is a short delay (configurable up to 60 seconds) before the
control panel enters extinguishing released state.
Note: Some faults or disablements of extinguishing devices can prevent or
disable the extinguishing event. See “Extinguishing event prevented” on page 12
for more details.
