Addressable devices, such as detectors, have several inputs and outputs
differentiated by the sub-point number. For example, an MX 814CH
detector has:
 An analogue input point for the CO sensor,
 An analogue input point for the heat sensor,
 An output point for the integral LED,
 An output point for the remote indicator,
 An output point for a functional base.
Each point can be tested independently.
The test options for an analogue input point are:
Fig 6-25 – Analogue Input Point Test Menu
 ALRM TSTF1 starts a full alarm test. Any programmed delays and
algorithms for the point will be included.
 FASTF2 starts a fast alarm test, bypassing any programmed delays
and algorithms.
 RESETF3 resets the point.
WARNING: the Alarm and Fast point tests do not
automatically disable the point (or mapped zones) so all
programmed alarm devices and alarm routing operate as for
a real alarm.
Disabling the point or mapped zone(s) before the test will
prevent these operating, and only the display and zone
indicator will show the alarm.
The amount of time taken for an Alarm or Fast test is dependent on the
type of device being tested, and on detailed settings in the system
configuration. For example, heat and smoke detectors with nuisance
alarm rejection algorithms will react more slowly to an Alarm test than to
a Fast test, whereas a contact input point will react quickly to both Alarm
and Fast tests.
An input point is something such as General Purpose Input 1 on the
controller board. There are no test options for these points.
An output point is something that can be controlled, such as an MX
device LED or an ancillary relay.
Test options for output points are:
 OPONF1 puts the point into the Operated state, after a confirmation
prompt.
