Installation & Configuration Manual
configured to use areas as is usually the case in financial environments. The
output should only be assigned to the system if the panel does not use areas.

21.1 Seismic Sensor Testing
Seismic zones must be configured in order for both manual and automatic tests to
be available. The results of either manual or automatic testing are stored in the
system event log.
During a seismic test, one or more seismic zones are tested. When a zone is
tested, all other zones in the same area are temporarily disabled as there is a
single seismic test output per area
21.1.1 Manual and Automatic Test Process
A manual or automatic test operates as follows:
1. The panel activates the Seismic Test Output for the appropriate area(s) in
which the seismic zone(s) are to be tested.
2. The panel then waits for all seismic zones under test to open and then verifies
that all seismic sensors in the area enter the alarm state within the time
configured for the ‘Seismic Test Duration’. Any zone(s) that have not opened
within the maximum period are deemed to have failed the test.
3. When all seismic zones in the area are open or the maximum Seismic Test
Duration has been reached (whichever comes first), the panel will clear the
Seismic Test Output for that area.
4. The panel then waits a fixed time for all seismic detectors in the area to close.
Any zone(s) that have not closed are deemed to have failed the test.
5. The panel then waits another fixed period before reporting the test result. The
result of the test, either manual or automatic, is stored in the system event log.
The seismic output is normally high, and goes low during tests (i.e. when it is
active). If this signal is not suitable for a particular sensor then the physical output
can be configured to be inverted.
