Self Test
This feature provides an automated self-test for a selected group of
localized intrusion sensors (for example, glass break detectors, sound
discriminators and shock sensors) which respond to an artificial source
of noise and/or vibration.
Automated self-testing is especially useful when sensors are placed in
high security areas where failure cannot be tolerated.
Up to 16 zones can be designated for self-testing.
A sound or vibration generator should be used that can be placed close
enough to the sensors to trigger them when the noise source is activated.
A Programmable Output acts as the source of switched power for the
noise/vibration generator (see
Sensors Test, page 137). This is set to
conform to the testing schedule. The schedule defines the time and day
for the first test, and sets the times for repeated tests over a 24-hour
period.
A message is sent to the monitoring station if all the related sensors are
triggered during the test (if a report code has been defined).With
successful completion of the self-test, an entry is also placed in the event
log.
If one or more of the sensors fails to trip during the test period, a self-test
failure message is generated and sent to the monitoring station. A record
of the failure is also entered in the event log.
