3. TESTING
This section describes the procedure to ensure that your RFP system is fully functional
and is not intended as the commissioning test procedure (Refer to section 5).
3.1 Before You Test Your RFP System
Before you can test your RFP system it is important to ensure that any ancillary
equipment i.e. a security system, fire/smoke doors, A/C shutdown etc, has been
isolated by the ancillary isolate switch on the front of the panel. The switch will
illuminate when it has been isolated. If you wish to test any ancillary equipment it is
advised that any relevant people i.e. tenants or a security / fire monitoring company,
be notified before continuing as the defect mode will be initiated.
3.2 Panel Test
Step 1. Turn the key switch to the 'Fire' position. All smoke alarms should
activate.
(If ancillary equipment has not been isolated they will also activate)
Step 2. Once all alarms have been verified press the Locate switch on the
panel. All the alarms should silence.
Step 3. Go to the last alarm (this alarm will contain the End of Line device) for
each zone and press the Test button for 15 seconds. During this time
only the detector you are testing should activate.
Step 4. Return the key switch to the “On” position and press the Locate
switch ensuring that the switch illumination turns off.
Step 5. Randomly press the Test button on over 50% of the alarms ensuring
that the alarm activates and the alarm indicator for the zone under
test illuminates on the panel, and, if panel is configured for common
zone operation all other alarms activate. If the panel is configured for
separate zone operation only the alarms in the zone being tested
activate.
Note: If a mimic panel or RIL is connected to the alarm being tested
check that it also illuminates at this time.
Step 6. Proceed to the smoke alarm containing the end of line (EOL) device,
this is the last smoke alarm wired onto each zone. Remove the end
of line (EOL) device, the panel should now sound a fault signal
(continuous sound), and the fault LED for this zone will illuminate.
Return the EOL and the fault signal stops. This test should be done
for each zone.
