FAULT TEST
FAULT TEST # ENTER
The fault test function momentarily disconnects the detection zone(s) under test and simulates the worst-
case condition for fault.
A resistor load equal to worst case fault is placed on the zone continuously for 5 seconds then the zone is
returned back to its normal condition.
If several zones are being tested consecutively and are being entered at a rate faster than the 5-second
fault timer, the fault timeout will occur 5 seconds after the last entry was completed.
Once the zone has registered a fault, all outputs relating to that zone are initiated similar to a real fault.
The zone may be isolated prior to a fault test if desired. This will prevent any outputs from operating.
‘#’ in the above key sequence is the zone number.
If only one zone is to be tested, use the appropriate zone number. Alternatively the "ALL" button can be
used to simultaneously test all zones.
To perform a fault test on a particular zone or on all zones:
1. Press the "FAULT TEST" button once. The buzzer will give 2 short beeps to indicate
that fault test mode has been entered.
2. The LCD display will read "FAULT TEST MODE, ENTER ZONE No.".
3. Enter the zone number ("#") 1-64 or “all”.
4. Press "ENTER".
If a correct entry is made, fault testing on the selected zone(s) commences with a long beep of about 10-
15 seconds and an illuminated fault LED next to the selected zone(s).
A long beep will signify an incorrect entry and the panel will revert back to normal operating mode. The
"FAULT TEST" button will need to be pressed again to re-enter fault test mode.
ISOLATE
ISOLATE # ENTER
The isolate function prevents the transmission of alarms or faults from the zones, to the master alarm
facility.
‘#’ in the above key sequence is the zone number.
If only one zone is to be isolated, use the appropriate zone number. Alternatively the "ALL" button can be
used to simultaneously isolate all zones.
To isolate a particular zone or all zones:
1. Press the "ISOLATE" button. The buzzer will give 2 short beeps to indicate that isolate
mode has been entered.
2. The LCD display will read "ALARM ISOL. MODE, ENTER ZONE No.".
3. Enter the zone number ("#") 1-64 or “all”.
4. Press "ENTER".
A long beep will signify an incorrect entry and will revert back to normal operating mode. The "ISOLATE"
button will need to be pressed again to re-enter isolate mode.
