Chapter 3: Operating instructions
P/N 3101890-EN • REV 006 • ISS 21JUN18 47
To test a VM device:
1. Access the Main Menu, and then select Test.
2. Select VM Device Test, and then select the test condition.
3. Enter the panel, card, and device addresses.
4. Enter the access level password.
Testing alarm input devices
In order to test an alarm input device, the device must be part of a Service group that was created in the VM-CU.
Service groups allow alarm input devices to be activated without placing the system into alarm. The protected
premises may be divided into more than one Service group to make testing possible without leaving the entire
premises unprotected. See the VM-CU help for instructions on creating Service groups.
Notes
• Putting a Service group into test introduces a Service Group Active event in the Trouble Queue. To determine
which Service group is in test, view the details of the event message (see “Viewing event message details” on
page 39).
• The alarm input test automatically times out after approximately 1-hour of inactivity.
To put a Service group into test:
1. Access the Main Menu, and then select Test.
2. Select Start Test, and then select the desired Service group.
3. Enter the access level password.
To cancel the alarm input device test:
1. Access the Main Menu, and then select Test.
2. Select Cancel Test, and then select the Service group that is in test.
3. Enter the access level password.
Changing output states
Use the Activate and Restore commands to change the output state of relays, NAC circuit outputs, control-
indicating module LEDs, and audio amplifiers. Changing the output state requires entering a command priority
level to one of the following output states.
• Set: Overrides low, medium, and high priority instructions and forces the device to the desired state. The set
priority does not reset the device’s priority counters.
• Latch: Overrides low, medium and high priority instructions and forces the device to the desired state. The
latch priority will reset the device’s priority counters.
• Low Priority: Forces the device to the desired state and adjusts the low priority counter accordingly.
• Medium Priority: Forces a device to the desired state and adjusts the medium priority counter accordingly.
• High Priority: Forces a device to the desired state and adjusts the high priority counter accordingly.
For control-indicating module, see “Changing the output state of an LED” on page 57.
