14.4 Programming Zones into Test Mode
The 3300 can have one or more of its detector zones programmed into test mode. When a zone is
programmed into test mode any activation on that zone will cause the alarm outputs to activate for 4
seconds, after which the 3300 will reset. This feature is used to enable rapid testing of detectors on
zones without the need to return to the panel to reset it after each activation.
Note:
• If any non-test zones are active the 3300 will not reset.
• Zones activated in test mode DO NOT operate the ‘Fire Link’ and DO NOT activate
the Global Fire Contacts.
The procedure for programming a zone into test is given below.
1. From access level 1 enter the 5 digit engineer code 1 3 4 2 4. The ‘Supply Present’ indicator
will flash indicating level 3 has been accessed and all programming features are available.
2. Scroll to the ‘General Test’ indicator by pressing button 2. Any zones currently 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 all zones are removed from test mode when testing of the system is complete.
