Conventional Sounder Monitoring
Panels have two Conventional Sounder circuits.
Check the Conventional Sounder circuits for open and short circuit fault detection.
To perform the Open-Circuit test, disconnect either the + or - connection at each conventional sounder circuit.
To perform the Short-Circuit test, connect for each sounder circuit a wire link, connecting both the + and - terminals together.
With either test, after a few seconds, a fault message will appear on the LCD display of both the panel and repeater(s)
indicating that the conventional sounder circuit is at fault.
Both the FAULT and ALARM FAULT LED indicators will be lit.
Restore the original connections and press SYSTEM RESET to clear all the error reports.
WARNING:
If the Conventional Sounder outputs are short circuited while the sounders are active, the electronic
overload protection is tripped and the system will report a sounder fault turning ON the ALARM
FAULT LED simultaneously. Once the short circuit is cleared, a system reset will clear the faults.
Detector Tests
If the devices have been assigned to Zones (via the programming menus) then it is possible to test the detectors with limited
or no sounder operation.
Detector Tests By Zone
1. Before starting clear all faults, put the system into programming Mode, and press SYSTEM RESET.
2. In programming mode, select function 7-3 Sounders on Test Activation. This allows you to choose an audible
confirmation that a device has detected a fire. The audible confirmation consists of a 1 second period of sounder
operation.
3. ALL SOUNDERS ON DETECTOR TEST activates the Panel’ Conventional and Loop Sounders.
4. Now select function 7-4 Test Zones to select the Zones which will be tested.
5. Exit programming mode, but DO NOT press SYSTEM RESET as this clears all test modes.
6. In test mode, whenever a detector is activated the LED on that detector will be ON and the event will be reported on
the panel for 15 seconds. If selected, the sounders will also operate for 1 second.
7. Pressing TEST (QUEUE REVIEW) will report the Zones that are in Test Mode.
Unassigned Detector Tests
1. If the detectors have not been assigned to a Zone then they can only be tested in normal (Active) mode. Using the
programming menu, ensure the system is set to Active Mode, then exit programming mode and press SYSTEM
RESET.
2. Carry out a fire test on each detector. Confirm the LED lights on the detector under test. Confirm that the fire is
reported correctly at the Panel (and any Repeaters). Confirm that the sounders operate.
3. Note that sounders and detectors can be inhibited or delayed using the advanced features in the programming
menus. If the sounders do not operate as expected, first verify all the settings for the sounders and the device
under test.
At this point you may program the more advanced features of the system. The basic usually involves assigning text labels to
the devices and Zones.
