Test Mode Overview
The fire protection system has an integrated option for testing. When in test mode, the release solenoid is
disabled and will prevent the fire extinguishing agent from spraying on the appliances. For testing
purposes, this will allow the activation of the fire system, audible alarm, shunt trip breaker (if applicable),
and shut down of appliances via gas valve reset relay.
All additional PCBCORE controlled packages that are attached to the system must be in “Test” mode. This
includes additional fire protection systems, Pollution Control Unit with CORE, and other hood-mounted
CORE controlled protection systems.
Please note that the appliances must be started before test mode is entered on any PCBCORE protection
package for proper demonstration of this function. If the fire protection system is left in “Test” mode for
more than 15 minutes, the appliances will shut down. This is to prevent cooking operations from occurring
while the appliances and ventilation system are not protected.
ATTENTION: All interlocked PCBCORE controlled packages must be placed into “Test” mode
before cleaning the hood, Pollution Control Unit (PCU), or any other interlocked units.
Reset Overview
There are multiple actions required to reset the fire system. The following must be completed by a
Certified Fire System Technician.
1. The duct firestat must be cooled below its internal set point.
2. The remote manual actuation device (push/pull station) must be reset by twisting the button clockwise
until it resets.
3. Press the “Push To Reset Fire System” button.
4. Reset the pneumatic actuators (PAK, SVA), refer to “Re-arming System” on page 63.
Note: The firestat must be cool, and the remote manual actuation device (push/pull station) must
be reset for this button to work.
The fire system must be re-commissioned per the manufacturer’s recommendations and guidelines by an
authorized fire system distributor and/or authorized service agent.
WARNING: In the event of an actual fire, further inspections are required after the fire has been extin-
guished to verify the integrity of the hood, ductwork, fire sensors, fan, and fire suppression system has
not been compromised. With approval from the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) or the Fire Depart-
ment, proceed to restarting the fire system.
