Perform Monthly Test (H1)

The FT128 and the building must be tested on a regular basis, please refer to the
Australian maintenance standard AS1851 for details regarding monthly, quarterly and
annual test.
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).
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 (sounders) activated,
routing equipment (Fire Brigade TX) activated, etc.
Note: If FT128 door is left open, the output(s) for external strobe or alarm bell might be
disabled (if set in EBLWin).
There will be an automatic termination of the test mode one hour after the latest tested
alarm point / zone.

The zone(s) will stay in test mode until the test mode is terminated. The test mode is terminated in this
menu or automatically one hour after the latest test alarm. This is valid for each zone respectively.
Perform the test as quickly as possible, since the output(s) for routing equipment (Fire Brigade TX) are disabled
during the test mode. 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 for approximately 10 seconds, then the alarm point will be
automatically reset. There will be a test mode alarm indication in the FT128 display. The printer, if available, will
print out every tested alarm point (Zone: xxx Address: xx Time: HH.MM).
A detector in test mode will not be able to activate fault.
