5.2  FAULT DIAGNOSTICS AND REMEDIES 
5.2.1  Backup Alarm Test Failure 
A Backup Alarm Test is performed manually via the Test Menu, see section 3.5, or automatically during 
the daily system check at 16:00hrs. If a failure occurs during the test a Backup Alarm Test fault is 
indicated, see section 5.1.2 
 
Figure 134  Backup Alarm Fault 
An inspection of the engine event log, see section 3.6, will list the event: 
     Back-Up Test Failed  Eng X det Y 
 
5.2.1.1  Single Detector in fault 
Having established which detector is in fault it is necessary to establish the cause of the fault using the 
following steps. 
1.  Swap the detector with a known working detector. 
2.  Reset the Control Panel. 
3.  Perform a Backup Alarm Test via the Test Menu, see Error! Reference source not found. 
If the fault indication remains at the original position return the swapped detectors to the initial 
positions go to item 4 
If the fault indication moves to the new position of the detector, the detector has failed and 
should be replaced. 
4.  Open the Junction Box lid. For the indicated failed detector position check the connection of the 
backup alarm wire (grey wire).  
 
 
 
 
5.  Using a wire link connect the backup alarm terminal (grey wire) to the 0v terminal (blue wire) for 
the indicated failed detector position.
