is about to end. The test time cannot be extended. If more
time is required, the test must be reinitiated by entering
[*][6][Walk Test Code][4] at any partition keypad.
To end the test before one hour, enter [*][6][Walk Test
Code][5] at a partition keypad. The Fire Test End
code, if programmed, will be sent to the central station once
this command is entered.
NOTE: To initiate the test from a global keypad, you must
first loan the keypad to a partition. From a global keypad,
press [*], use the arrow keys (< >) to scroll to any partition
label and press [*] to select it. The display will read "Keypad
Loaned to [Partition Label]." Then, enter [*][6][Walk Test
Code][4] to initiate the Fire Inspector test.

20.14Testing AMS-220/220T Smoke Detectors

AML smoke detectors continuously monitor themselves for
low sensitivity and will report this condition as a device
trouble.
In addition, you can test the alarm/restore capability of the
detectors manually or automatically on a programmed
schedule.
To manually initiate the test, perform the following:
1. Enter [*][6][Walk test code]. Use the arrow (< >) keys to
scroll to "AML Smoke Test."
2. All smoke detectors on the addressable loop(s) will per-
form a self test. If a detector fails, a trouble will be gen-
erated.
3. The AML smoke test takes approximately 5.5 minutes
to complete. A fire alarm from any other fire zone on
the system will initiate the programmed response. The
AML smoke test will proceed in the background.
4. During the smoke test, the message "AML Smoke Test
Is Active" will be displayed on the keypad. Pressing
any key will override the display so that other events
can be observed.
Scheduled Smoke Detector Test
There are 50 smoke test schedules. Each smoke test sched-
ule is assigned a date schedule. To schedule the AML
smoke detector test, perform the following:
1. Enter reference number [001402] and press [*].
2. The keypad will display "Select Entry # / Enter 01-50."
Use the arrow (< >) keys to select which Smoke Test
schedule is to be programmed and press [*}.
2. The keypad will display "Enter Sch.# / Enter 00-99."
Enter the date schedule you have programmed for the
smoke test (valid entries are 02-99). The default date
schedule for each smoke test schedule is 01 (disabled).
3. The keypad will display "Select Toggle Partition X."
Use the arrow (< >) keys to scroll through each partition
and press the [*] key to toggle them on (Y) or off (N).
This will activate the smoke test at the programmed
time for only the selected partitions. By default, all par-
titions are deselected (N).
When programming a date schedule, program the time to
perform the AML smoke test as the Start time for an inter-
val. Program the end time as 1 minute after the start time.
For example, to perform a smoke test at 8 a.m., program the
Start time as 0800 and the End time as 0801 (for more infor-
mation regarding date schedules, see Section 14 "Event
Scheduling").

20.15Lamp Test

You can enable the lamp test feature for each PC4216 mod-
ule when it is enrolled (refer to the PC4216 Installation
Instructions). A lamp test activates all PC4216 outputs for
two seconds. To initiate a lamp test, enter [*][6][Access
Code][8] at any partition keypad.

Relays
The PC4701 Fire module has two relays: one that activates
for all Fire zone alarms and one that deactivates for all Fire
zone and system trouble conditions. These relays are pro-
vided for remote station connection. Each relay has a set of
form "C" contacts rated at 2A, 30VDC.
The following reporting codes should be programmed on
any PC4020CF system:
Fire Events
Ref #: [00040309]
2-wire Alarm – This reporting code will be sent when a 2- 2-wire Alarm 2-wire Alarm 2-wire Alarm
wire Smoke zone alarm occurs. The 2-wire Smoke zone acts
as a standard fire zone. The 2-wire Alarm Restore reporting
code will be sent when the alarm condition is restored.
Waterflow Alarm Waterflow Alarm – This reporting code will be sent when a Waterflow Alarm Waterflow Alarm
Waterflow zone alarm occurs. The Waterflow Restoral
reporting code will be sent when the alarm condition is
restored.
2-wire Trouble – This reporting code will be sent when the 2-wire Trouble
2-wire Trouble 2-wire Trouble
2-wire smoke detector zone has a trouble (open) condition.
The 2-wire Trouble Restoral reporting code will be sent
when the condition has restored.
Waterflow Trouble – Waterflow Trouble – This reporting code will be sent when
Waterflow Trouble – Waterflow Trouble –
the Waterflow detector zone has a trouble condition. The
Waterflow Trouble Restoral reporting code will be sent
when the condition has restored.
Fire Test Begin/End – The Fire Test Begin reporting code Fire Test Begin/End –
Fire Test Begin/End – Fire Test Begin/End –
will be sent either:
1) when the Fire Inspector's Test is initiated by pressing
[*][6][Walk Test Code][4]. This test will time out after one
hour, or after it is manually ended by pressing [*][6][Walk
Test Code][5].
2) the Fire Drill is initiated by pressing [*][6][Access/Master
Code][5]. The Fire Drill has no Time Out and will only be
ended either manually by pressing [*][6][Master/Access
Code][5], or by fire alarms that occur during the test.
The Fire Test End reporting code will be sent when the Fire
Inspector's ends or when after the fire drill ends.
Fire Bypass/Unbypass – The Fire Bypass reporting code will Fire Bypass/Unbypass – Fire Bypass/Unbypass – Fire Bypass/Unbypass –

Ref #: [00040306]
The panel will transmit a Keypad Fire Alarm reporting
code and the Keypad Fire Restoral reporting code when the
Fire Keys on any keypad are pressed for two seconds.
NOTE: For commercial applications, do not program the [F]
key for keypads that are readily accessible by the public. For
more information regarding this key, see the PC4020 Instal-
lation Manual Section 6.5 "Fire, Auxiliary and Panic Keys."
