How to Run a Battery Test
Purpose: To measure the standby battery's open-circuit voltage and
the power-supply unit's output voltage.
Action
How to Run an Alarm-Simulation Test
Purpose: To activate system outputs by simulating an initiating-device
event during system testing. The initiating device is not activated. The
ARIES system outputs are activated as if the simulated initiating device
had actually reported an alarm condition.
The simulated alarm report causes execution of the control unit's
application program and activates any outputs in the general-alarm
list. Event acknowledgment, alarms silencing, and a system reset are
required to return the system to normal operating condition.
Note: The simulated alarm report must be manually de-activated via
a menu operation before the system can be reset and returned
to normal operating condition.
The alarm-simulation test can be run concurrently for multiple devices to
test counting
acknowledgment and silencing are required. Each simulated initiating
device must be manually de-activated via the menu before the control unit
can be reset.
