b. Press number 4 push-button, verify that the display reads:
1:LAMP TEST 2:LOOP DEVICES
3:BATTERY TEST SCROLL for more
c. Press number 3 push-button, verify that the display reads:
BATTERY TEST
BATTERY TEST ON PS*_ _
d. Enter the power supply address which the batteries are
connected to. Verify the display reads:
BATTERY TEST
TEST ACTIVATED ON PS(_ _)
e. Upon the completion of the test the display will read:
TEST ON PS(_ _) COMPLETED
>_>_ _._V
f. Verify that the voltage is within allowable tolerances.
4-3.4 Walk Test
The PEGAsys system provides a one person walk test func-
tion. This allows the service person to enable a group of de-
vices for walk test, then proceed through the installation
activating the specified devices. The system will respond to each
activation with a short burst of the programmed signal circuit.
The related signal circuit will only be pulsed if it has been con-
figured for the Walk Test feature when defining it in the PCS
software.
During the system installation/configuration operation the in-
staller would need to enable each signal circuit installed in the
system for “Walk Test”, if desired. The systems signal outputs
default to walk test disabled. When walk test is activated and
carried out the system enters each activation with a time and
date stamp. The operator can then print out all walk test results
for review.
The walk test feature can be deactivated two ways, the service
person can deactivate it through the user menus or the walk
test function will time out after 10 minutes of non activation en-
suring system response if the service person is called away for
an extended period of time.
NOTE: When the walk test is active the panel will annunciate
a trouble condition.
4-3.4.1 WALK TESTING DETECTORS
Place the system in walk test as described in Paragraph 4-3.4.2.
To place a detector into alarm perform the applicable proce-
dure below:
Smoke Detectors:
When testing SmartOne smoke detectors use a "punk-stick" or
"cotton wick" to generate smoke. Apply smoke to the detector
for a minimum of 10 seconds. When a sufficient amount of
smoke has entered the device, the control panel will respond
with an alarm indication. The status LED of the detector will
flash at a 2 second rate during the alarm period. Use of aerosol
smoke simulation product may be used if acceptable to the
Authority having Jurisdiction and if the product is used as di-
rected in the instructions.
Heat Detectors:
When testing SmartOne heat detectors use of a low powered
heat gun is acceptable. Heat the detector for a minimum of ten
seconds. When a sufficient amount of heat has been detected
by the detector, the control panel will respond with an alarm
indication. The status LED of the detector will flash at a 2 sec-
ond rate during the alarm period. Take care during the heating
of the detector to avoid over heating the plastic housing. Main-
tain a minimum of 1 foot between the detector and the heat gun
nozzle. Use of open flame devices are not recommended as
discoloration of the plastic housing is likely and this is a poten-
tially hazardous practice.
4-3.4.2 WALK TEST PROCEDURE
The step-by-step procedure to perform the walk test follows:
a. Access the PEGAsys system menu’s by:
(1) Press 0 (zero) key. Verify that the display reads:
PLEASE ENTER PASSWORD
(2) Type in the Level-2 password.
(3) Press the return (↵) key. Verify that the display reads:
1:ISOLATE 2:LIST
3:SET 4:TEST
b. Press number 4 push-button, verify that the display reads:
1:LAMP TEST 2:LOOP DEVICES
3:BATTERY TEST SCROLL for more
c. Press the SCROLL push-button, verify that the display
reads:
4:WALK TEST 5:ALARM SIM TEST
d. Press number 4 push-button, verify that the display reads:
1:START WALK TEST 5:STOP WALK TEST
e. Press number 1 push-button, verify that the display reads:
START DEVICE WALK TEST
WALK TEST STARTED ON LOOP( _ _)
f. After completion of the walk test, press number 2 push-
button to disable the walk test mode.
4-3.5 Alarm Simulation Test (AST)
The PEGAsys system provides a feature which allows the sys-
tem installer/inspector to verify the actual output operation in
relation to the input(s) which are programmed to activate the
output of interest. The service person would enable the AST
function for a particular input and the system would operate the
output(s) as it is programmed in the Event Output Control pro-
gram. The system will respond with an alarm condition when
the AST feature is enabled. The user would have to disable the
AST when output operation has been verified.
WARNING
Any outputs which are controlling critical pro-
cesses or agent releasing should be physically dis-
connected from the process or agent container to
avoid unwanted shutdowns and/or agent releases.
When the AST function is enabled the pre- pro-
grammed outputs for the activated input(s) will
activate.
