Simulation Mode - Honeywell Air Alert 96d User Manual

Simulation Mode
This mode deactivates network communication Information Updates.
It can be combined with any of the three previous modes (example:
using the Simulation mode when in Debug mode allows the user to
test the entire system [groups, events, etc] without triggering any ac‐
tions or using any additional material such as gases). It allows gas
concentrations to be simulated over an associated scale for each
transmitter, sequentially:
Alarm levels A, B and C are evaluated according to the simulated gas
concentration and events are evaluated and actions are taken.
This type of alarm simulation at the controller does not work with cer‐
tain transmitters with falling alarms. In these cases, an alarm can be
simulated at the transmitter.
While in simulation mode, the controller is unaware of the device's
actual network status. This mode can be stopped at any time in the
Test menu (see Normal System Operation).
If one of these modes has been activated, the system will automatical‐
ly return to Normal Mode after 12 hours of inactivity. (No changes will
be lost.)
