Testing alarm input devices
In order to test an alarm input device, the device must be part of
a service group. Service groups allow alarm input devices to be
activated without placing the system into alarm. The protected
premises may be divided into more than one service group to
make testing possible without leaving the entire premises
unprotected.
Without any additional programming, you can test alarm input
devices by:
• Putting the service group into test
• Activating each of the devices in the service group
• Verifying each of the devices show up on the active points
list
• Canceling the test
Note: Putting a service group into test introduces a Service
Group Active event in the trouble queue. You can press the
Details button to verify which service group is in test.
To put a service group into test:
1. Press the Command Menus button , then choose Test.
2. Choose Start Test.
3. Select the service group.
4. If prompted, enter a valid user access level password.
To cancel the test:
1. Press the Command Menus button , then choose Test.
2. Choose Cancel Test.
3. Select the service group that is in test.
4. If prompted, enter a valid user access level password.
Note: A service group will automatically time-out and cancel
after approximately 1 hour of inactivity.
