Testing security input devices
The information provided in section “Testing alarm input
devices” applies equally to all security input devices. However,
there are certain nuances that apply to security devices only.
With the service group activated, security devices will generate
Test Events only in accordance with their expected operation
relative to their armed conditions.
The following example applies equally for all security device
types:
For Security Interior devices, if the partition is disarmed or
armed stay, Test Events will not be generated on the activation
of the device. If the partition is armed away, Test Events will be
generated on the activation of the device. However, there is a
slight exception. If, after activating the Service Group, the
Security Interior device is activated (and not restored) while the
partition is disarmed, a Test Event will be generated
immediately when the partition is armed even if the armed state
is stay.
The exception in the above example happens as a result of a
status update that occurs for all partition devices when partitions
are armed. On evaluating the results of the status update, EST3
generates the Test Events after recognizing the active state of the
security device with respect to the active state of the Service
Group irrespective of the device type and armed conditions. This
applies to all security device types.
Another rule that applies for security devices is that partitions
must be disarmed and reset in order to clear all security Test
Events from the Monitor queues in both EST3 and FireWorks.
Canceling the service group test is not sufficient.
