Secondary Line Testing; Primary Line Testing - DataRemote Pots In a Box CDS-9090 User Manual

PHASE 4
Testing Fire Alarm communication over
DataRemote's CDS-9090 device.
NOTE: if you wish to know if the DataRemote CDS-9090 device's alarm lines have been set to auto
please contact Project Manager.
From the cut-over steps above, the Fire Alarm Panel may have already communicated its trouble
condition and restoration to the alarm vendor, but we want to test it once again.
1. Determine if the Fire Alarm Panel has a current Trouble condition (controller display, a message
or LED Indicators) and note or take a picture if so then go back to the DataRemote CDS-9090
device.
2. Invoke Fire Alarm Panel into a trouble condition: Remove phone cord from alarm line 1-8
(respectively) jacks of the DataRemote CDS-9090 device unit and leave disconnected for at least 3
minutes. If time permits, walk back to Fire Alarm Panel to wait for it to go into Trouble condition as
may be indicated in Controller Display and/or via certain LED indicators being lit on motherboard.
NOTE: If this phone line disconnect method doesn't invoke a trouble condition in Fire Alarm Panel
to be reported from the panel, please contact Install Support Team as you may have to temporarily
disconnect backup batteries or power-cycle the panel to force an event required to be
communicated to monitoring vendor.
3. Test the Fire Alarm Panel trouble resolution process.
IMPORTANT: DO STEPS IN THIS ORDER ONLY, DO NOT CHANGE THE ORDER.

Secondary Line Testing:

- ONLY plug phone cord back into secondary 2 alarm line of the DataRemote CDS-9090 device.
Wait for the Phone 2 green LED on the DataRemote CDS-9090 device to start flashing. Once the
flashing phone 2 LED goes back to solid green, the system has attempted the call to report the
trouble event to the alarm vendor.

Primary Line Testing:

- Once the secondary test call is successful, leave phone 2 port's cord plugged in, and now plug
remaining phone cord into the primary alarm line 1 port of the DataRemote CDS-9090 device.
- Wait for the Phone 1 green LED on the DataRemote CDS-9090 device to start flashing green. Once
the flashing phone 1 LED goes back to solid green, the system has attempted the call to report the
trouble event to the alarm vendor.
