4.20 Engineer Tests
The Test function allows the Engineer to test inputs, outputs, batteries and the siren.
4.20.1 Sounds To Play
This function previews all of the different tones the EURO control panel system makes. They have
a choice of: Chime, Chime Follow, Exit, Exit Fault, Entry, Tech Fault, Tamper, Alarm, PA, and
Fire.
4.20.2 Walk Test
The walk test feature is used to test all the inputs programmed on the EURO control panel. It is
recommended that after programming any inputs, the Engineer menu is exited to save all data,
after this point a walk test should be performed. The inputs that haven’t been activated will be
shown on the display. Once all the inputs have been walk tested, ‘Walk Test Completed’ will be
displayed. When walk-testing a double-knock detector, it must be triggered twice within the
preset period. When testing dual-trip detectors, the first detector must be triggered and then the
second detector; next, open the second detector and trigger the first detector.
4.20.3 Soak Control
Any input may be placed on ‘soak test’ which monitors the detector without giving an alarm
activation. If the chosen input triggers whilst the system is set, it will indicate the activation and
enter the details in the event log. The number of days the input is in soak control before the
input becomes active can be programmed.
4.20.4 Test Siren
Any outputs programmed as '0014 Siren Any' and '0016 Strobe Any' will be tested.
4.20.5 Do Battery Load Test
The EURO control panel performs a check of the battery operation every 10 seconds, by dipping
the power supply voltage momentarily, and measuring the system voltage. If the battery voltage
measured is below 8.9V, or the battery fuse has failed, a ‘BATTERY FAULT’ warning will be
generated. The EURO control panel is programmed to perform an automatic battery load test at
every power supply at 7.00am each day. This will drop the power supply voltage below the
battery voltage, whilst monitoring the system diagnostics. The test will NOT take place if:
The siren and strobe Output are live
The EURO control panel is in Engineer Mode
Any battery faults exists
Any mains fault exists
The site option 'Do Battery Load Test' is not selected (refer to 'SITE OPTIONS' (page:
26)).
If the test has already started, it will be aborted if any of these conditions apply, other than entry
into Engineer Mode. If the test is aborted, it will NOT be performed until the next day. This is
selected in SITE OPTIONS under “Do Battery Load Test”. The test may also be performed as
required, under Engineer control.
4.20.6 Test Outputs
The Engineer can test all the Programmable Outputs on the Input/Outboard board and the output
module.
4.20.7 Test Alarm Data Communications
If the Engineer is using SIA or Contact ID to signal events, this function can be used to send a
test signal to the Alarm Receiving Centre. It can also be used to test SMS signaling.
4.20.8 Start CHC SMS Update
If the Engineer has set up SMS text messaging then this function needs to be used (after
enabling SMS calls in ‘Set up Digi/SMS’, the Engineer mode must be exited to save all the data,
and then this function must be entered (this function is also in the master manager menu)).
The system will automatically carry out a test call to our Host Computer every two weeks. The
call is made via a premium rate number and the bill payer should be informed of the charge
(50p per call). Customers who have “BT Answer 1571” enabled may have difficulty in
connecting to the CHC.
