Battery Test Function
Battery Test Every 10 Seconds (Zone Light 5 ON). When an Access Code is entered to arm the system, there will be
a 5 second delay before the arming sequence begins. During the delay, a battery test is performed.
• If Power Loss Inhibits Arming is enabled (Section [25] Zone Light 3 ON) the system will not arm if a low battery
condition is present
• If there is a Low Battery Trouble when an Access Code is entered to arm the system, and Power Loss Inhibits Arming
is disabled (Section [25] Zone Light 3 OFF), the system will arm without the 5 second delay for the Battery Test
• If the system is communicating when an Access Code is entered to arm the system, the Battery Test will not be
performed
• During the 5 second Battery Test delay, all keypresses on the keypad will be ignored. If an alarm is generated during
the delay, the bell or siren will sound after the delay. Transmissions are not delayed during the Battery Test delay
Fire Zone Operation
If Section [26] Zone Light 1 is ON, Zone 7 will be defined as a Fire Zone.
The Fire Zone is a 24-hour (normally-open alarm initiating contact) end-of-line resistor zone designed for latching four-
wire smoke detectors. On alarm, the Bell output will pulse to indicate that the Fire Zone has been activated. Alarm
memory and transmission of the alarm are delayed for 30 seconds. If the alarm is acknowledged by pressing any key
before the 30 second delay expires, the bell will silence and the transmission will be cancelled.
After the alarm has been acknowledged, the bell output will be activated again if the smoke detector is not restored
to normal within 90 seconds. The user then has 30 seconds again to silence the bell and abort the transmission before
the bell latches and the communication is initiated. NOTE: Do not program fire zones as silent and do not use
Double EOL resistors with this zone type.
For an open on the Fire Zone, the "Trouble" light will come ON and the keypad sounder will beep every 10 seconds,
regardless of whether the system is armed or disarmed. The trouble condition will be reported if a reporting code is
programmed in Section [16]. The "Trouble" light will only be shut OFF when all of the Fire Zone troubles are corrected.
