14. INTERCOM UNIT TEST MODE
The intercom unit Test Mode allows all input devices to be tested on a per‐flat basis without putting a call on the system.
Once in Test Mode the intercom will beep as each device is activated, the system printer will log each test with the flat
number, device type, time and date.
The intercom must be in a quiescent state to enter the Test Mode, i.e. not in privacy mode, no message waiting, no alarm
call in progress and not awaiting Extracare cancellation.

TO ENTER TEST MODE

Press and hold the button for about 5 seconds until the intercom beeps once ‐ then release within 2 seconds or the
Test Mode will not be enabled.
When the intercom is in test mode the white LED will flash and a 7 tone ascending scale will play once.
Upon activation of each device the intercom will beep twice confirming that the controller has received the test alarm.
Each test alarm is printed and/or recorded in the Manager's Panel "Event Log".
Once in Test Mode certain conditions have been set to cater for the activation of PIR's and radio devices. These are as
follows;
Radio devices should be tested first ‐ once any other hardwired device (excluding the PIR) is activated no further radio
devices will be logged as tested.
Hardwired PIR's are only reported every 30 seconds ‐ this is to allow movement through the accommodation to get to the
next device without re‐triggering the PIR.
When a ceiling pullcord is activated all pullcord reassurance LED's will be illuminated for 2 seconds.
TO TURN THE ALARM BUTTON "GLOW" OFF
In standby mode the alarm button will normally glow dim red and illuminate bright red when an alarm call is made.
The standby glow can be turned on/off by pressing the button. Note the alarm button will always illuminate bright red
when an alarm call is made – this cannot be turned‐off.

TO EXIT TEST MODE

The Test Mode duration is set at 10 minutes or it can be terminated at any time by pressing the button once again.
The intercom will then play 4 descending tones.
