Periodic Testing and Service

Periodic testing and servicing of the control panel, all initiating and notification devices, and any other associated equipment is essential to ensure

proper and reliable operation. Test and service the control panel according to the schedules and procedures outlined in the following documents:

•

NFPA Standard 72's section on Inspection, Testing and Maintenance

•

All test and maintenance instruction codes and software necessary to provide test and inspection requirements of CAN/ULC-S536, Standard for

the Inspection and Testing of Fire Alarm Systems.

•

Service manuals and instructions for the peripheral devices installed in the system. Correct any trouble condition or malfunction immediately.

•

Drill (Alarm Signal On for Canadian applications) - Use the Drill/Alarm Signal On key to manually activate all silenceable outputs and NACs.

Press and hold the Drill/Alarm Signal On key for 2 seconds. During a drill, the panel will turn on all silenceable NACs, Turn off the Signals

Silenced LED, and sends a Manual Evacuate message to the History Buffer and installed printers, CRT-2 terminals and annunciators.

•

Lamp Test - Use the Lamp Test key to test the control panel LEDs and panel sounder. Press and hold the key. The panel will light all control panel

LEDs, turn on the panel sounder, and light all segments of the LCD display. If the Lamp Test key is held longer than 5 seconds, the LCD will

display the software revisions.

Operational Checks

•

Before proceeding: a) notify the fire department and the central alarm receiving station if transmitting alarm conditions; b) notify facility

personnel of the test so that alarm sounding devices are disregarded during the test period; and c) when necessary, disable activation of alarm

notification appliances and speakers to prevent their sounding.

•

Disconnect all releasing devices to prevent accidental activation in accordance with NFPA 2001 and NFPA 12A releasing agents.

WARNING: RELEASING DEVICES MUST BE PHYSICALLY DISCONNECTED

DO NOT RELY ON DISABLE/ENABLE SOFTWARE SETTINGS TO LOCKOUT RELEASING DEVICES.

•

Check that the green POWER LED lights.

•

Check that all status LEDs are off.

•

Press and hold the LAMP TEST key. Verify that all LEDs and all LCD display segments work.

•

Activate an Initiating Device Circuit using an alarm initiating device or an addressable initiating device on the SLC and check that all

programmed active notification appliances function. Reset the alarm initiating device, the control panel, and any other associated equipment. In

voice alarm applications, confirm that the proper tone(s) and/or messages sound during alarm conditions. Select the paging function and confirm

that the message can be heard in the affected fire zones. Repeat the above step with each Initiating Device Circuit and each addressable device.

•

On systems equipped with a fire fighter's telephone circuit, make a call from a telephone circuit and confirm a ring tone. Answer the call and

confirm communication with the incoming caller. End the call and repeat for each telephone circuit in the system.

•

Remove AC power, activate an Initiating Device Circuit through an alarm initiating device or an addressable initiating device on the SLC, and

check that programmed active notification appliances sound, and alarm indicators illuminate. Measure the battery voltage with notification

appliances active. Replace any battery with a terminal voltage less than 21.6 VDC and reapply AC Power.

NOTE: The battery test requires fully charged batteries. If batteries are new or discharged due to a recent power outage, allow the batteries to

charge for 48 hours before testing.

•

Return all circuits to their pretest condition.

•

Check that all status LEDs are off and the green POWER LED is on.

•

Notify fire, central station and/or building personnel when you finish testing the system.

Walk Test

Walk Test allows the user to test the entire fire alarm system. There are two kinds of Walk Test - Basic and Advanced, described later in this section.

Before entering Walk Test, note the following:

•

For each individual activation, the control panel sends "TEST Axx" (for alarm testing) or TEST Txx (for trouble testing) to the History buffer,

installed printers and CRT-2s so results can be reviewed.

•

Basic Walk Test, Silent – In order to keep the test silent, do not program any of the output modules with "W" in the Walk Test field.

•

Advanced Walk Test - This test overrides a setting of "
