Scheduled Smoke Detector Test
There are 50 smoke test schedules. Each smoke test schedule is
assigned a date schedule. To schedule the AML smoke detector
test, perform the following:
1. Enter reference number [001402] and press [*].
2. The keypad will display “Select Entry # / Enter 01-50.” Use
the arrow (< >) keys to select which Smoke Test schedule is
to be programmed and press [*}.
2. The keypad will display “Enter Sch.# / Enter 00-99.” Enter
the date schedule you have programmed for the smoke test
(valid entries are 02-99). The default date schedule for each
smoke test schedule is 01 (disabled).
3. The keypad will display “Select Toggle Partition X.” Use the
arrow (< >) keys to scroll through each partition and press the
[*] key to toggle them on (Y) or off (N). This will activate the
smoke test at the programmed time for only the selected parti
-
tions. By default, all partitions are deselected (N).
When programming a date schedule, program the time to perform
the AML smoke test as the Start time for an interval. Program the
end time as 1 minute after the start time. For example, to perform a
smoke test at 8 a.m., program the Start time as 0800 and the End
time as 0801 (for more information regarding date schedules, see
Section 14 “Event Scheduling”).
20.15Lamp Test
You can enable the lamp test feature for each PC4216 module
when it is enrolled (refer to the PC4216 Installation Instructions).
A lamp test activates all PC4216 outputs for two seconds. To initi
-
ate a lamp test, enter [*][6][Access Code][8] at any partition key-
pad.
NOTE: To initiate the test from a global keypad, you must first loan
the keypad to a partition. From a global keypad, press [*], use the
arrow keys (< >) to scroll to any partition label and press [*] to select
it. The display will read “Keypad Loaned to [Partition Label].” Then,
enter [*][6][Access Code][8] to initiate the lamp test.
20.16PC4701 Remote Station Alarm/Trouble Relays
The PC4701 Fire module has two relays: one that activates for all
Fire zone alarms and one that deactivates for all Fire zone and
system trouble conditions. These relays are provided for remote
station connection. Each relay has a set of form “C” contacts rated
at 2A, 30VDC.
20.17Fire Reporting Codes
The following reporting codes should be programmed on any
PC4020CF system:
Fire Events
Ref #: [00040309]
2-wire Alarm – This reporting code will be sent when a 2-wire
Smoke zone alarm occurs. The 2-wire Smoke zone acts as a stan
-
dard fire zone. The 2-wire Alarm Restore reporting code will be
sent when the alarm condition is restored.
Waterflow Alarm – This reporting code will be sent when a
Waterflow zone alarm occurs. The Waterflow Restoral reporting
code will be sent when the alarm condition is restored.
2-wire Trouble – This reporting code will be sent when the 2-
wire smoke detector zone has a trouble (open) condition. The 2-
wire Trouble Restoral reporting code will be sent when the condi
-
tion has restored.
Waterflow Trouble – This reporting code will be sent when the
Waterflow detector zone has a trouble condition. The Waterflow
Trouble Restoral reporting code will be sent when the condition
has restored.
Fire Test Begin/End – The Fire Test Begin reporting code will be
sent either:
1) when the Fire Inspector’s Test is initiated by pressing
[*][6][Walk Test Code][4]. This test will time out after one hour,
or after it is manually ended by pressing [*][6][Walk Test
Code][5].
2) the Fire Drill is initiated by pressing [*][6][Access/Master
Code][5]. The Fire Drill has no Time Out and will only be ended
either manually by pressing [*][6][Master/Access Code][5], or by
fire alarms that occur during the test.
The Fire Test End reporting code will be sent when the Fire Inspec-
tor’s ends or when after the fire drill ends.
Fire Bypass/Unbypass – The Fire Bypass reporting code will be
sent when a Fire type zone is bypassed using the [*][1] keypad
command. The Fire Unbypass reporting code will be sent when the
zone is added back to the system.
[F] Key
Ref #: [00040306]
The panel will transmit a Keypad Fire Alarm reporting code and
the Keypad Fire Restoral reporting code when the Fire Keys on
any keypad are pressed for two seconds.
NOTE: For commercial applications, do not program the [F] key for
keypads that are readily accessible by the public. For more informa
-
tion regarding this key, see the PC4020 Installation Manual Section
6.5 “Fire, Auxiliary and Panic Keys.”
System Maintenance
Ref #: [00040316]
Panel Battery Trouble – This code will be sent when the control
panel battery is low, disconnected or if the battery fuse fails. The
Battery Trouble Restoral reporting code will be sent when the
condition is cleared.
Panel AC Trouble – This code will be sent when the AC power to
the control panel is disconnected or interrupted. To prevent com
-
municating the trouble in the event of short power failures, the code
will not be sent until the AC Failure Communication Delay has
expired. When the trouble is restored, the AC Line Trouble Resto
-
ral reporting code is sent.
Panel Bell Trouble – This code will be sent when a bell trouble
occurs. This is when an open circuit is detected across the bell ter
-
minals. When the trouble condition is restored, the Main Bell
Trouble Restoral reporting code will be transmitted.
Panel AUX Trouble – This code will be sent when an auxiliary
voltage supply trouble occurs. When the voltage supply is
restored, the Main Auxiliary Trouble Restoral code will be sent.
*TLM Failure – If a LINKS unit is being used, this reporting
code will be sent through the LINKS when a Telephone Line
Monitoring trouble occurs. The TLM Restoral code will be sent
when the condition is cleared.
NOTE: Do NOT program this code if a LINKS unit is not used. The
TLM Failure Line 2 Trouble and Trouble Restoral reporting codes
will be sent when a similar condition occurs on a second telephone
line.
*NOTE: LINKS1000 for residential use only.
GND Fault Trouble – This reporting code will be sent when the
earth ground connection detects a ground fault. The Ground Fault
Restoral reporting code will be sent when the earth ground fault
connection is restored.
NOTE: The PC4020 EGND terminal must not be connected to the
Combus ground. Connecting earth ground to the Combus ground will
interfere with system performance and generate a Ground Fault Trou
-
ble.
Periodic Test – This is the reporting code that is sent to the moni-
toring station to test communications (see Section 10.8 “Test
Transmissions”).
Periodic Test UL – This test transmission code is sent instead of
a Periodic Test Transmission if a Fire Trouble is present on the
system at the time.
