include all detectors, modules, and security devices. To test a Signature device,
the device must be connected to a signaling line circuit.
Notes
• For latching devices, you must reset the panel to restore the tested device to
its normal state. Nonlatching devices restore automatically without resetting
the panel.
• The Alarm Test command puts the device into alarm condition and activates
its programmed alarm responses.
To test a Signature device:
1. Access the Main Menu, and then click Test.
2. Click Sig. Device Test, and then click the test condition.
3. Enter the panel, card, and device addresses.
4. Enter the access level password.
Testing alarm input devices
In order to test an alarm input device, the device must be part of a Service group
that was created in the 3-SDU. 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. Refer to the 3-SDU help for instructions
on creating Service groups.
Notes
• Putting a Service group into test introduces a Service Group Active event in
the queue. To determine which Service group is in test, view the details of the
event message (see “Viewing event message details” on page 50).
• The alarm input test automatically times out after approximately 1-hour of
inactivity.
To put a Service Group into test:
1. Access the Main Menu, and then click Test.
2. Click Start Test, and then click the desired Service group.
3. Enter the access level password.
To cancel the alarm input device test:
1. Access the Main Menu, and then click Test.
