6.5.3 TEST DESCRIPTION
6.5.3.1 Controller Tests
If the Controller RAM or EPROM test fails, then the Brigade standby relay will de-
energise and the "SYSTEM FAULT" LED will turn on but processing of circuit alarms and
faults will continue.
If the database EEPROM checksum test fails then all circuit alarm and fault processing
will stop and the panel will become in-operational and the standby relay will de-energise.
After this fault occurs, it is not possible to perform another system test to re-check the
EEPROM database. To recover, do the following.
First, power the panel off and on again which will check the database EEPROM and start
processing if the checksum is correct. If the fault does not clear then enter program
mode using the "SET" key and entering the password. Then exit program mode which
will calculate and save the checksum of the database and then re-check the checksum.
It is advisable to do a printout of the entire database and re-check all of the programmed
data.
Alternatively, upload a new database into the F3200 panel by entering program mode
and loading a previously saved database.
6.5.3.2 Circuit Tests
Circuit fault tests are done first followed by circuit alarm tests.
The system will NOT test a circuit if any of the following is true:
1. The circuit is disabled.
2. The zone is isolated.
3. The zone is latched in fault or alarm.
4. The zone is a Status Only zone.
5. The circuit input is in B1 band (short circuit) and B1 is programmed to be normal.
6. The 8 Zone Module has been unplugged (partial module configuration fault, see
Chapter 6.6.3).
A circuit fault test is done on all odd numbered circuits simultaneously - first (1, 3, 5 ....)
taking 4 to 8 seconds, depending on whether any tamper circuits are being tested,
followed by all even numbered circuits (2, 4, 6 ....) taking a further 4 to 8 seconds.
After the fault tests, circuit alarm tests are done. All circuit modules are tested
simultaneously but only one circuit per module is tested at a time. E.g. if there are 16
zones (two modules) then circuits 1 and 9 will be tested simultaneously, followed by
circuits 2 and 10, etc, up to circuits 8 and 16. Each circuit alarm test takes 2 seconds
making a total of 16 seconds for the entire circuit alarm tests. If a circuit test fails or an
unexpected alarm or fault occurs, then the circuit tests will stop immediately, a test fail
cadence will sound on the buzzer and the "BRIGADE FAULT" relay will turn on.
