Component
Test Test methods
Initial and Reacceptance 1. Open the circuit. Verify that the control panel displays a
trouble message that correctly identifies the module.
2. Short each side of the circuit to ground one at a time.
Verify that for each short the control panel displays
a
ground fault message that correctly identifies the module.
3. Activate the module. Verify that the module’s red LED
flashes and the control panel displays a supervisory
message that correctly identifies the module.
Semi-annual Activate the module. Verify that the module’s red LED
flashes
and the control panel displays a supervisory message that
correctly identifies the module.
Releasing module
s Visual inspection Verify that DS2 flashes and DS4 is on. Ensure there are no
changes that may adversely affect equipment performance.
Initial and Reacceptance WARNING: Disconnect all wiring on TB4 (RELEASE 1 and
RELEASE 2) when servicing or testing the system. Disabling
points does not prevent activation of the release circuits.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in loss of life,
serious injury, or property damage.
1. Verify that the control panel indicates open, shorts, a
nd
gr
ound faults for each of the circuits.
2. Verify that the release initiation circuit activates the
release circuits as intended, and that all required signals
are indicated on the panel.
3. Verify that the manual release switch, if used, activates
the release circuits as intended, and that all requir
ed
s
ignals are indicated on the control panel.
4. Verify that the abort switch, if used, prevents the release
circuits from activating as intended.
Semiannual WARNING: Disconnect all wiring on TB4 (RELEASE 1 and
RELEASE 2) when servicing or testing the system. Disabling
points does not prevent activation of the release circuits.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in loss of life,
serious injury, or property damage.
1. Verify that the release initiation circuit activates the
release circuits as intended, and that all required signals
are indicated on the control panel.
2. Verify that the manual release switch, if used, activates
the release circuits as intended, and that all required
signals are indicated on the control panel.
3. Verify that the abort switch, if used, prevents the release
circuits from activating as intended.
