If your system contains areas configured as vaults, then the access test operates
as follows:
• Disarming the vault area only, starts the access test on the vault area only.
• Disarming all areas (including the vault area), starts the access test on all
areas.
• Disarming the non-vault areas only, does not start the access test.
Your system may be programmed to automatically go into access test mode
when disarming areas that contain inputs configured for access testing. In such a
case, the RAS beeper sounds during the access test time, and the LCD screen
indicates that the access test is running (Figure 6 below).

“0”- Cancel:
The access (disarmed) test is a defined interval during which specific inputs may
be tested to see if they are operating correctly when the area is occupied. The
input must be programmed to be included in access tests (determined by the
input’s test type). The input (for example, a hold-up button) is disabled during any
access test on areas assigned to it.
The area is disarmed after one of the following occurs:
• The access test is cancelled by the user.
• The required inputs are tested (toggled from sealed to unsealed and back to
sealed).
• The access test time expires.
An input’s access test is recorded as completed if the input is toggled from
sealed to unsealed and back to sealed (typically by a technician activating a
sensor such as a door contact).
Note: If cameras are programmed to be tested during the access test, and the
system is programmed as a financial institution, then the film counters
automatically display after the cameras are tested.
Following an access test, you can view the access test report to see if any of the
required inputs are untested (see “Access test report” on page 21).
See also “Option 13 Start Auto Access Test” on page 27 for details of how to
manually initiate the access testing interval.
Cancelling an access test
From the access test RAS display (Figure 6 above), press [0] [ENTER] [ENTER].
The RAS beeper stops sounding and the selected areas are disarmed.
