The EST4 drill feature lets you activate alarm signals manually without putting the control unit into alarm. When
you activate a drill, all audible alarm signals turn on and, if configured, all visual alarm signals, but other automatic
fire alarm responses are not activated. The alarm signals remain active until the drill is canceled.
You can activate a drill using an operator control button, when programmed as Fire Drill, or a control-display
module button programmed to activate the drill.
Note: The drill function can be programmed for a fire privilege PIN. The default setting is no PIN required.
