To insure proper and reliable operation, it is recommended that an inspection and testing of the system be
conducted monthly, or as required by National and/or Local codes. Testing should be performed by a qualified
service representative.
4.1

Notification

Before testing the panel, notify:
** Fire department and/or the central station receiving any transmitted alarm or trouble condition. If it is
necessary to inhibit alarm transmission, slide the remote station disable switch to its abnormal position.
** Facility personnel so that the alarm sounding devices will be ignored during the test period.
4.2

System Test

Slide the System Test switch down and ensure that all indicators except the zone alarm LEDs light and that
all signaling devices are active. Release the switch and ensure that all zone alarm LEDs light. Reset the panel.
4.3

Zone Test

Test a zone by shorting the zone contacts with a jumper. Ensure that the signaling devices are activated and
that the zone and system alarm LEDs light. Reset the panel and repeat for each zone.
4.4
Walk Test
To check all initiating devices, slide the Walk Test switch down. The Walk Test LED will light and the system
trouble devices will be activated. In this mode, the panel will reset automatically. Activate an alarm initiating
device and ensure that the indicating devices function. Check each initiating device in this manner. When all
initiating and indicating devices have been checked, return the Walk Test switch to its normal position.
4.5

Supervisory Test

When the fourth zone is programmed to monitor normally open supervisory devices, a contact closure across
the loop will light the supervisory and zone alarm LEDs and will sound the audible trouble device. In this state,
the audible device will continue to sound regardless of the position of the trouble silence switch. An open in
the loop will light zone and system trouble LEDs and will sound the audible device.
