5.2 Testing to detectors and manual activations
All the installed detectors must be tested during the commissioning phase. It is necessary to check the capacity of each
detector to react to a simulated condition of fire, and to check the precision of the signals transmitted to the control
panel in response to its activation (description of the point and zone).
For this purpose it is possible to use the Test function
provided by the control panel ([E]), in the “Zone” section,
accessible via the “System status” menu on the homepage
(paragraph 2.1).
By tapping this button it is possible to place one or more
zones in test status. The activation of a detector which
belongs to a zone in test status will not generate any alarm
signalling or activate the outputs or signalling devices.
However, the control panel will activate the signalling LEDs
on the detectors and will perform automatic reset after a
few seconds without any need of further intervention by the
operator on the control panel.
The activation of a point which belongs to a zone in test
status will be recorded in the events log. Therefore, on
completion of the test on all the zone devices, the operator can check the congruence of the various indications by
means of the log.
The activation of all the manual call points (alarm buttons) must be tested in the same way as described for the detectors.
5.3 Testing signalling and activations
The functionality and efficiency of all the signalling devices
must be checked thoroughly.
It is possible to test such devices by activating the relative
LEDs and outputs manually from the control panel via the
respective management page.
To reach this page you must access the “Points” section via
the “System status” menu on the homepage (paragraph 2.1
First startup). By selecting the loop and point to be tested
and then pressing the relative View buttons, you can reach
the respective management page where you will find the
Actions button [F]. This button activates other buttons,
amongst those for the test functions are:
• Turn On output
•Turn On LED
Note: Testing devices by means of manual activation does not test functionality and efficiency of the cause/
effect association which determines their activation (programming coherence of groups), therefore, it is
necessary to perform real functionality tests.
5.4 Extinction system test
Particular attention must be paid to the testing of eventual fire extinction systems.
Special attention must be paid to the functionality and safety of the extinguishing-agent release devices before
proceeding with the testing of all activation and stop-extinction procedures in accordance with the requirements of the
executive project.
