Testing a device (test fire)
A test fire is a test activation of a smoke or heat detector or input module. A test fire
can be conducted to test for proper operation of a detector or input module and its
programming. When a detector is test fired, the panel sends a command to the
detector at which time the detector simulates a smoke or heat buildup, causing an
actual activation of the detector. When an input module is test fired, the panel sends
a command to the module causing the module to simulate an activation (alarm,
supervisory, or monitor).
Note: NAC responses activate as programmed.
To test fire a device:
1. Press the menu button and choose Test.
2. Choose Test Fire.
3. Enter a level one password.
4. Choose the loop the device is on.
Note: If the panel only has one loop, the loop
selection screen does not display. Go to the next
step.
5. Enter the device number of the device you want to
test fire.
6. Press Enter.
7. Choose Start to start the test.
8. When you have finished, press Reset (or repeat steps
1 to 7 and choose End) to clear the test alarms and
return the system to normal.
9. Press Cancel to return to the previous menu.
