PREMIER AD INSTALLATION MANUAL.
10. TEST MODE
10.1 WHY USE TEST MODE
To aid commissioning and assist routine maintenance check, a non-latching 'one man test' facility is
available.
When a detector or manual call point is triggered on any zone in Test, the Alarm sounders operate for
approximately eight seconds on and four seconds off. This cycle continues until the cause of the
Alarm is removed (either by the test smoke clearing from the detector or the manual call point being
reset), sounders will then stop activating.
Should an Alarm occur on a zone that is not programmed to test, the Fire Alarm Panel will cancel the
test mode. After the cause of the alarm has been checked, and the panel reset, test mode will have
to be selected again to resume testing.
10.2 TO PROGRAMME ZONE IN TEST MODE
NOTE: Only one zone can be programmed in test at any one time.
1. Insert and turn control key to enabled position;
2. Press TEST Button, followed by the code 2 4 8.
3. The GENERAL TEST LED will light steady, and Zone 1 test led will flash.
4. Press TEST FUNCTION SELECT button to select the zone to be tested.
5. Press confirm to enter test mode for this function. The LED will now be steady.
6. Once testing of that zone is completed, press TEST FUNCTION SELECT button to move to
another Zone or turn the control key switch to off position to exit test mode.
NOTE: If testing a call point, it will trigger the panel into alarm immediately, but it will need to
stay active for around 8 seconds before the panel registers it as a test mode alarm. If the call
point is active for less than 8 seconds, the sounders WILL NOT RESET.
8.3 TO PROGRAM SOUNDER CIRCUITS IN TEST MODE
NOTE: Only one sounder circuit or the loop sounders can be programmed in test mode at any
one time.
NOTE: Only the ADDRESSABLE SOUNDERS can be tested with the loop sounder one man
test mode. The ASSOCIATED SOUNDER BASES cannot be tested this way because of their
slow stop/start time.
1. Insert and turn control key to enabled position;
2. Press TEST Button, followed by the code 2 4 8.
3. Zone 1 test led will flash.
4. Press TEST FUNCTION SELECT button to select the sounder to be tested.
5. Press confirm to enter test mode for this function. The LED will now be steady.
6. The Sounders will now pulse 3 seconds on, 3 seconds off until they are taken out of test
mode. This allows all the sounders to be tested for correct operation, and dB output.
7. Once testing of that sounder circuit is completed, press TEST FUNCTION SELECT button to
move to another circuit, or turn the control key switch to off position to exit test mode
To test associated sounder bases, use the stop/start sounder button (evacuate). Note that the
sounders will take up to 9 seconds to start.
***NOTE***
Associated sounder bases are controlled by the detector. Removing the detector will leave the
sounder base inoperative.
