until the required value is displayed.

7.5 Lamp test
The lamp test is used to check that all LEDs and the sounder are working. It also tests the confidence
LED and the fault LEDs on the Node Controller Module. This test can be carried out at any time
except in Channel Test mode. It does not affect the gas or fire detection.
To carry out the test use one of these methods:
• Press the LAMP TEST button on the Display Module.
• Operate the Lamp Test switch on the Node Controller Module.
• Connect the terminals 10 and 11 on the Node Controller Module.
The test operates only while the button, switch or connection is held.
