One Man Walk Test
This function is similar to the weekly test feature, this allows the engineer to test the complete system without having to
continually return to the panel and reset it. Once all devices have been tested the ‘Stop’ button can then be operated.
Test Device
This is not a true test of the device. Individual devices can be identified using this menu. When a device is put into test
the fire Led will illuminate or if the device is a sounder then this will sound.
Following an Autolearn test device can be used to indicate cable routes and in what sequence the panel has
numbered the devices etc. On v3.0 software Next/Previous has been added to enable the user to navigate this
function more easily also the relay of an I/O device will change state.
Disable All Outputs
This function is held within one of the high-level access menus, available from display software version 1.81.01. It is
designed to enable the engineer to carry out a test on the system without activating any sounders or input /output
units.
The function does NOT work when weekly test or walk test is used as well. (The sounders still operate for a
short period).
When all devices are disabled the ‘Sounder Fault / General Disable / Delayed Output’ Led’s will be illuminated with
buzzer on. To exit this function, go to user menu (2214) and ‘Enable All’. To ensure that all devices have been re-
enabled a live test should be carried out.
Auto Learn
This is the process of addressing the devices on the loop. It should be carried out with only the start of the loop
connected to ensure that the loop is addressed in the correct sequence. Once the loop has been addressed then the
return leg can be connected into the panel.
On version software (v 3.0 introduced August 07), Autolearn by loop has been introduced. This allows a second loop
to be learned without having to relearn Loop 1. If a second loop controller is installed then the option to learn loops 3 &
4 individually is displayed.
When the loops are complete then the test menu can be used to verify the status and location of each device against
the ‘as fitted drawings.’
On later releases Pre-Addressed Autolearn has been added. This allows the engineer to Pre-Address the loop devices
in any sequence using a hand held programmer.
Once the system is installed, pre-addressed autolearn only interrogates the devices without renumbering and saves
the device list in memory. If however Autolearn is initiated the devices will be re-numbered and placed into sequence.
This method is particular to a DF 4000 to DF 6000 replacement where MAB 728 adaptor plates are used on the
existing MAB 700 bases. (The adaptor plate does NOT support Autolearn).
