Testing the System

Note
Before testing, it is recommended that you have covers on
all modules (mounted outside the cabinet) and the panel
cabinet door closed. The testing environment should
match the system working environment.
This section describes how to perform the following test
procedures:
‰ Basic System Commands
‰ Testing Panel Backup Battery(s)
‰ Testing Hardwired Zone Inputs
‰ Testing Wireless Sensors
‰ Testing Outputs
‰ Testing Optional Lights and Devices
(X10 Modules)
Advent Commercial Fire System
‰ Testing Phone Communication
‰ Testing Central Station Communication
‰ Adjusting Touchpad Contrast
You should test the system after installing, servicing, and
adding or removing devices from the system.
Refer "Troubleshooting" on page 55 if correct test results
are not achieved.

Testing Panel Backup Battery(s)

The panel can both automatically and manually place a test
load on the panel backup battery(s) and measure the voltage
output.
Note
A newly installed battery may require up to eight hours
under panel power before an accurate charge indication.
To manually test the panel backup battery(s):
Press 8 . The display shows SYSTEM MENU.
1.
2. Press 8 again to test the battery(s) and display the
result. The display will show the battery voltage as
BATTERY TEST: 13.8 V (or similar) TO QUIT PRESS
*.
3. Press ‚ to quit. The system will automatically quit the
battery test after 15 minutes.
Testing Hardwire and Wireless Zones/
Sensors
It is recommended that you test all hardwired zones and
sensors after all programming is completed and whenever a
zone/sensor-related problem occurs.
Note
While the zone test is a valuable installation and service
tool, it only tests zone operation for the current conditions.
You should perform a zone test after any change in envi-
ronment, equipment, or programming.
