Quick Key Item Explanation
2 9 7 Zone Self Test
Not for UL
Installations
this feature provides an automated self test for a selected group
of localized intrusion sensors (e.g. glass break detectors, sound
discriminators, shock sensors) which can respond to an artificial
source of noise and/or vibration
automated self-testing is especially useful when such sensors
are placed in high security areas in which a failure cannot be
tolerated
up to 16 zones which have a detector meeting the above criteria
can be specified for such testing
the source of the noise or vibration (e.g. a sound or vibration
generator) must be a device which can be placed in the vicinity
of the designated sensors–close enough so that they will be
triggered when the selected noise source is activated
a designated Utility Output (see page 3-38) will act as the source
of switched power for the source of noise (or vibration) source–
and will be triggered to conform to the schedule described below
it will be necessary to define the time of day when the first
test will be initiated, and then how often thereafter (every hour to
every 24 hours) the test will be repeated
if all the related sensors are triggered during the test, the
appropriate message will be sent to the Central Station (if a
reporting code for this event has been defined–see page 3-72)
indicating the successful completion of the self-test; in this
regard, an entry will also be placed in the system’s Event Log to
the same effect
if, during any test period, one (or more) of the designated
sensors fails to trip, a “self-test failure” message will be
generated (see page 3-72) and sent to the Central Station;
similarly, a record of the failure will be entered in the Event Log
the specifics of setting up the Zone Self Test are listed below:
CHOOSING ZONES FOR SELF-TESTING
from this display, press [ENTER] to specify the first of 16 possible
zones for Self-Testing
enter the two-digit zone number of the first selected zone; if
necessary, use the DOWN-arrow (BYP) or UP-arrow (STAT) to
position the cursor, and press [ENTER]
press [ENTER] again, and repeat b), above, for the next selected
zone; continue this process until all such zones are selected and
be sure to enter the selected zones correctly
when done, press the [.] key
