13.20.3 Test Control

Any input may be placed on 'soak test' to prevent it from generating an alarm. If the input triggers whilst the
system is armed, it will indicate the activation and enter the details in the system log. You can also enter the
number of days you would like the soak test to last, after this period the inputs will be active.

13.20.4 Test Bell

Any outputs programmed as Any Siren or Any Strobe will be activated in this test.

13.20.5 Do Battery Load Test

Battery Test
The system performs a check of the battery operation every 10 seconds, by dipping the power supply
voltage momentarily, and measuring the system voltage. If the battery voltage measured is below 12.0V, or
the battery fuse has failed, a 'BATTERY FAULT 100' warning will be generated.
Battery Load Test
PCX Systems may be programmed to perform an automatic battery load test at every power supply at
07.00am each day. This will drop the power supply voltage below the battery voltage, whilst monitoring the
system diagnostics. The test will NOT take place if:
The End Station bell and strobe PGMs are live
The system is in Engineer Mode
Any battery faults exists
Any mains fault exists
The site option is not selected
If the test has already started, it will be aborted if any of these conditions apply, other than entry into
Engineer Mode. If the test is aborted, it will NOT be performed until the next day.
This is selected in SITE OPTIONS under "Do Battery Load Test". The test may also be performed as
required, under engineer control.
13.20.6 Test PGMs
The engineer can test all the Programmable Outputs on the End Station and the ROX's. This test can also
be used to test the STU/ATE pins, all you need to do is select the outputs you have chosen for the pins and
test them, the signal will be then sent out on both the programmable outputs and the STU/ATE pins.

13.20.7 Test PHC Communications

Before SMS signalling can be used, it must be initialised by communication with the Pyronix Host Computer
(PHC). Once the test has completed, SMS texting can be performed.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL PHC CALLS COST 50p PER CALL
