3-2.5.2.5.10 How to Activate Control-Unit-Based Outputs
Purpose: To manually activate control-unit outputs during system
testing to confirm proper operation.
CAUTION
There is no indication at the control unit that an output is activated. Be sure to
de-activate the output after proper operation has been confirmed.
Ensure that the outputs will not activate suppression systems or critical facility
operations such as computer power. Physically disconnect all agent-release and
pre-action-sprinkler circuits and bypass all affected power-off circuits before
activating any outputs if the outputs are activating suppression systems or are
shutting off power. Restore the system to normal operating condition at the
conclusion of all output activation and any other functional tests.
