Soak Test
The Soak Test feature is designed to allow false alarms for predefined
detectors to be bypassed from the system, while any alarms generated are
displayed to the user for reporting to the monitoring station. This is
especially useful to prevent unnecessary police response and when a
particular zone is causing unidentified problems.
Up to 20 zones can be placed on Soak Test. Any zone placed in the Soak
Test list is bypassed from the system for 14 days and is automatically
reinstated after that time if no alarms have been generated by it.
If a zone in the Soak Test list has an alarm during the 14-day period, the
keypad indicates to the user that the test has failed. After the user looks at
the View Trouble option the trouble message will be erased. This will be
indicated in the event log, but no alarm will be generated. The alarmed
zone’s 14-day Soak Test period is then reset and restarted.
1. From the installer Programming menu, press
. The following
appears:
ZONES FOR TEST:
001) ZONE 001 N
2. Scroll to the zone you wish to perform the Soak Test for, and then
toggle to Y (to perform the test), or N.
3. Press OK.
4. To add other zone(s) to be tested, repeat the procedure for all
additional zone(s).
EN 50131-3 Note
The Soak Test function is not in compliance with EN50131-3.
Cross Zones
The Cross Zones menu is used for additional protection from false alarms and
contains parameters that enable you to link together two related zones. Both must
be violated within a designated time period (between 1 and 9 minutes) before an
alarm occurs. This type of linking is used with motion detectors in hostile or false-
alarm prone environments. The ProSYS Plus allows 50 unique sets of zone links
(pairs of zones), which can be manually specified, as required. Zones crossed with
themselves are valid pairs. They need to register a violation twice to trigger the
alarm. This process is known as Double Knock. You may want to establish a
number of zone links, but leave them deactivated at this time (see below).
