Turning a Point ON or OFF
Overview
It may be necessary during testing and maintenance of the system to force outputs on or off, e.g.,
alarm devices and relays.
Turning an output point off is effectively isolating that output. Once turned off, the output will
not turn on, even if an alarm condition that is programmed to turn it on occurs. After the
maintenance it is necessary to return the output to automatic control.
Turning an output point on forces the output to activate, even if there is no condition present that
is programmed to turn it on. Some control points, e.g., Sonalert (buzzer) Inhibit, see below are
normally off, and may be turned on to perform a function. These must later be restored to "off",
not "auto".
