Alarm and Fault Test for Zones

Alarm Test

Alarm Test forces a zone into the alarm state. Once the zone is in alarm, you can check to see if
the system reacts in the way that it has been programmed, i.e., do signals sound in the correct
manner? do relays function correctly? etc.
Note: When you force a zone into alarm, if the zone is not isolated, then any outputs that are
programmed to activate on alarm will activate: Brigade signalling, Warning System, etc.
Follow these steps to perform an alarm test on a zone:

Fault Test

The fault test allows you to simulate a fault condition on a zone. This allows you to test the
manner in which the FIP reacts to the fault, e.g., verify the operation of the brigade interface.
Note: When you force a zone into fault if the zone is not isolated then any outputs that are
programmed to activate on fault will activate, including Brigade signalling.
