Perform ZONE TEST (Test Mode) (H7)

Normally, zones are tested during the monthly test via menu H1, see page 85. Via this
menu (H7) it is possible to perform the zone test.
Up to 99 zones can be in set in test mode.
In test mode, only the alarm points are tested, i.e. no outputs (no sounders) will be
activated during the test. (Alarm devices can be tested via menu H8/S6 and any output
via menu H8/S9 or via EBLWin when you are logged on).
If a real fire alarm is activated by an alarm point not in test mode, the normal fire alarm
functions will be activated, i.e. fire alarm presentation, outputs (OWS or sounders)
activated, routing equipment (Fire Brigade TX) activated, etc.
There will be an automatic termination of the test mode one hour after the latest tested
alarm point / zone.
Note: If the door in FT128 is left open, the output(s) for external strobe or alarm bell
might be disabled (if set in EBLWin).

Scroll to menu H7. Perform ZONE TEST

Set zone: 00 in test mode
"A"
e.g. "01" Zone 01 in test mode
"A"
"A" Set zone: 00 in test mode
"Return" Set zone in test mode
The zone(s) will stay in test mode until the test mode is terminated. The test mode will also be automatically
terminated 60 minutes after the last testing in the zone.
Perform the test as quickly as possible, since the output(s) for routing equipment (Fire Brigade TX) are disabled
(also the parts of the zones in test mode, not visible for the test personnel, are disabled).
In order to shorten the testing time, any time delay for the detectors / zones in test mode will be "disabled", i.e. fire
alarm will be detected faster than normal.
In the tested alarm point, the LED will light up and the alarm point will be automatically reset after about ten
seconds. The alarm will also momentarily be shown in the FT128 display.
A sensor in test mode will not be able to activate fault.
