Another test capability that minimizes noise and disruption in a building is
Global Silent Appliance Test. This test sets all TrueAlert notification appliances
so that alarms are silent. If the system goes into alarm, appliances illuminate
their LEDs in a Steady On state without audibles or strobes. You can put the
system into this test mode from the Operator Interface. During the test Trouble
Pseudo P229 indicates a trouble.
The Manual Silent Appliance Test allows given notification appliances to be
manually tested without emitting an alarm. At the Operator Interface Panel, enter
the address of a TrueAlert appliance assigned to a particular TrueAlert
Addressable Controller. Wait a minimum of one to two minutes before testing
appliances to ensure that the diagnostics are active. Place a magnet on the
appropriate area of the appliance to initiate the test. The LED emits one long
flash denoting the test acknowledge signal, and then another long flash denoting
the first digit (always zero) of the appliance address. The LED then flashes one
to six times to denote the second digit of the address, pauses, and flashes one to
nine times to indicate the third digit of the address. A zero is always indicated by
one long flash. Verify that troubles are reported by Pseudo Point P230 (Device
Test Mode) and Pseudo Point P229 (Silent Test Mode). When the address is
done, the LED illuminates once more for two to three seconds.
Note: TrueAlert horn and strobe appliances will not operate if the 4100
is configured for voice.
The 4100/4020 system with a TrueAlert Addressable Controller supports
Non-Voice WalkTest in the same manner as a 4100/4020 system without a
controller. VNACs can be put into WalkTest groups, and the appliances will
sound out the address of the activated peripheral although the TrueAlert
strobes will not flash. (Note that in both silent test and WalkTest, the
4100/4020 displays a trouble at the Operator Interface Panel.) After eight
hours of inactivity, the panel returns to normal operation.
