Section 2: Commissioning
Commissioning mode
Walk test mode allows a single engineer to test the various detectors and call points
on a system without always having to return to the panel either to reset the system
or silence the alarms. When in COMMISSIONING MODE, the system operates as
normal except that when a detector or call point goes into alarm, the alarms only
operate for a few seconds and then will silence. The panel then tries to reset the
device automatically and, if successful, the alarms are operated again for a few
seconds and the installation engineer can move on to the next detector. After a full
test has been carried out the engineer can check the order in which the detectors/
call points were operated using the DISPLAY LOG mode. This information can also
be printed on the optional printer.
For details of how to access commissioning mode, please refer to page 62
When the panel is in “Walk Test Mode” the control panel inserts a different code
into the log and also onto the print-out. This is to distinguish between when a device
has been tested in “Walk Test Mode” and when a device has been triggered while in
normal operation.
The following differences will occur:
a. When in the LOG mode, “One man walk test” will appear on the display
followed by the address text and device type.
b. On the printout a “One man walk test” message will appear will appear
followed by the address text and device type.
c. During a real fire “FIRE !” Will appear on the display followed by the address
text and device type.
Configuration
Db level check
Panel includes the facility to test and set the system sounders with the minimum
amount of disturbance. In sounder test mode, the sounders will sound for
30seconds on then 30 seconds off. This facility can be accessed via the
engineering menu.
Detector LED flashing
The Panel Sensor flashing function is used to allow a visual inspection and
confirmation that the fire panel is in communication with the installed system
devices. This facility can be accessed via the engineering menu and can be switched
on or off at any time as required.
