6.2.3 NOTES
(a) The result of doing a bells test depends on whether the Ancillary 3/Bells relay is
controlled by output logic or not.
1. If the Ancillary 3 relay is not controlled by output logic:
(a) If the bells are not isolated then the relay will be energised for 5
seconds, if not already.
(b) If the bells are not isolated, then the BEL and AR3A tokens in the
output logic will return TRUE for the duration of the test.
2. If the Ancillary 3 relay is controlled by output logic then:
(a) If the bells are not isolated, then the BEL token in the output logic
will return TRUE for the duration of the test and the AR3A token
will not be affected.
(b) The state of the Ancillary 3 relay is not affected by the bells test
(the relay can still be tested using the Ancillary 3 status display
and pressing the "TEST" key. Refer to Chapter 8.6).
(b) If the bells are already activated at the start of the test then the test will have no
effect on the BEL token or the Ancillary 3 relay output.
