7.4.4 TO EXIT AUTO RESET MODE
To exit the test, RESET the zone as per Chapter 7.3.
WARNING: A detector on the zone may have gone into a permanent alarm. e.g. a
fusible link heat detector excessively exposed to heat during the test.
Before resetting the zone, wait until the circuit voltage returns to B4
(normal). If it remains in B2, periodically resetting (B1), "ISOLATE" the
zone and check for faulty detectors.
7.4.5 NOTES
(a) Multiple zones can be set to Auto-Reset mode at the same time.
(b) If any zone is in Auto-Reset mode then it is not possible to perform a
System or Auto test.
(c) All programmed input time delays (e.g. alarm verification) are overridden
to allow operation of the detectors to be tested quickly.
(d) The internal sounder (buzzer) is not operated by a zone in Auto-Reset
mode.
(e) All zones in Auto-Reset mode will automatically return to normal operation
after ONE HOUR from the last alarm received on any such zone or from
the last initiation of Auto-Reset mode on any zone. A reset command will
be applied to any such zone but the zone isolate/de-isolate status will not
be altered. (Zones should be manually reset and de-isolated for tea
breaks, lunch breaks, and when testing is finished).
(f) A zone may be isolated or de-isolated while it is in Auto-Reset mode and
will remain in Auto-Reset mode. An isolated zone will not operate the
bells for 2 seconds when an alarm occurs.
(g) When a zone range reset command is used to reset a range of zones all
zones in the range will be reset and any which were in Auto-Reset mode
will return to normal operation.
(h) A zone recall command may be used to step through zones which are in
Auto-Reset mode by selecting the testing option (option 4) from the recall
zone display (i.e. "RECALL", "ZONE", "4").
(i) The outer door of the panel may be closed while one or more zones are in
Auto-Reset mode without causing a slow beeping cadence on the buzzer.
