13.0 Testing Detection Zones
To aid the required fire alarm test schedule to be performed the 3100 allows one zone at a
time to be put into ‘test mode’. In this mode, upon an alarm on the test zone, the 3100
activates the alarm outputs for 4 seconds then resets. This allows a zone of detectors to be
easily tested without having to reset the panel manually after each activation.
Note:
When a zone is in test mode the Global Fire Contacts and Fire Link (if fitted) are not activated
when the test zone goes into alarm.
Alarms on non-test zones will prevent the 3100 resetting automatically.
13.1 Programming a Zone into Test Mode
1. From access level 1 enter your 5 digit user code 1 3 4 4 2 or turn the key-switch
(depending on the model purchased). The ‘Level 2 Accessed’ indicator will illuminate.
2. Scroll to the ‘General Test’ indicator by pressing button 2. Any zones previously
programmed into test mode will be displayed on row 1 of the display. Accept the option by
pressing button 3.
3. The ‘General Test’ indicator will flash, to indicate this option has been accepted.
4. Scroll to the detector zone to be put into test mode by pressing button 2.
5. Press button 1 to set / un-set that zone into test mode. The relevant row 1 indicator will be
illuminated when the zone is in test mode.
6. Press button 3 to return to the selection menu.
7. Press button 4 to accept and program the test set-up and return to access level 2.
The yellow ‘General Test’ indicator will be illuminated steady, showing that at least one zone
has been programmed into test mode. Any zones programmed into test mode will have their
test indicator illuminated steady on row 2 of the display.
Important Note:
• Ensure zones are removed from test mode when testing of the system is complete.
