7.1 Detector Functional Testing
Crowcon recommends that you check detectors routinely to ensure correct calibration and
operation.
For gas detectors, heads require recalibration at least every 6 months. Fire detectors should be
tested every 3 to 6 months. Site procedures may require more frequent testing.
For detailed instructions on the routine functional testing of detectors, please refer to the
relevant Installation, Operating and Maintenance Instructions provided with each detector.
7.2 Inhibiting input
During calibration (sections 3.8 and 7.3) or Channel Test (section 7.4), it is often necessary to
inhibit the inputs so that relays are not tripped.
Using the Display Module, a zone (a group of four channels on a Quad Channel Input
Module) can be inhibited by pressing the appropriate ZONE INHIBIT button on the back of
the Display Module. To return the zone to normal operation, press the ZONE INHIBIT
button again.
Using VortexPC, you can inhibit individual channels. See VortexPC Help.
