Performing a lamp test

Use the Lamp Test command on the Test menu to verify the operation of the
LCD and LED indicators. The lamp test command temporarily turns on the panel
buzzer, all LED indicators, and every pixel on the LCD. The lamp test command
only operates the indicators on the panel from which the command is initiated.
To perform a lamp test:
1. From the Main Menu, choose Test, and then choose Lamp Test.

Activating alarm signals manually

The VM-1 drill feature lets you activate alarm signals manually without putting the
panel into alarm. When you activate a drill, all audible alarm signals turn on and,
if configured, all visible alarm signals turn on, but other automatic fire alarm
responses are not activated. The alarm signals remain active until the drill is
canceled.
To activate a drill:
1. Press the Drill button.
2. If prompted, enter the access level password.
To cancel a drill:
1. Press the Drill button.
