13.3 Periodic Testing and Maintenance
To ensure proper and reliable operation, it is recommended that system inspection and testing be scheduled
monthly or as required by national and/or local fire codes. Testing should be done by a qualified service
representative if a malfunction is encountered.
Before testing:
1. Notify the fire department and/or central alarm receiving station.
2. Notify facility personnel of a test so that alarm sounding devices are ignored during the test period.
3. When necessary, activation of Notification Appliances can be prevented by the DISABLE function.
Testing:
1. Activate a input via an alarm initiating device and check that the correct outputs activate (Notification
Appliances sound/flash, relays activate, alarm indicator lights). Reset system. Repeat for each alarm initiat-
ing device.
2. Momentarily open the following circuits one at a time and check for a trouble sign:
- Notification Appliance Circuits
- Initiating devices
3. If new batteries were installed, wait 48 hours before completing this step. Remove AC power, activate initi-
ating device and check that:
- The alarm indicator lights
- All active Notification Appliances sound
Measure battery voltage while the Notification Appliances are sounding. Replace any battery with terminal
voltage less than 85% of rating. Reapply AC power and reset the system.
13.4 Event History
The event history can be useful for tracking or recalling a trouble condition.
To view event history:
1. Press ENTER to access Main Menu, then rotate the key or enter a code if prompted.
2. Press 3 to select Event History.
3. Press the or to view events in the history buffer.
5815XL module that has been physically
connected to the panel but is not being
recognized.
Check the status of the 5815XL green LED. If it flashes in the pattern .5 sec. on
/ .5 sec. off, it is likely that the 5815XL has not been added to the system
through programming. JumpStart will add any 5815XLs connected to the panel.
5815XLs can be added manually (see Section 9.2.2).
Check that the correct ID for the 5815XL module has been set through the DIP
switches. Assign ID#1 to the first 5815XL and ID#2 to the second 5815XL. See
Section 4.10.1 for complete details.
If the wiring between the 5815XL and the panel is correct, measure the voltage
from 5815XL Terminal (+) to Terminal (-). Voltage should be in the range 27.2-
27.4V when AC power is present.
If the green LED is not flashing, the likely cause is incorrect wiring from
between the 5815XL and the panel. See Section 4.6.1 for wiring details.
