Fire Test - Bosch Security System Owner's Manual

FIRE TEST?

Description
Use this function to test fire points and other 24-hour points to be certain they function properly.
You can review both the tested and untested points at your command center to help pinpoint any
problems.
Upon initiation, the fire test will test the fire bell pattern on the bell output and ring the
command center fire bell for 2 seconds. The AC will be disabled for 4 minutes in order to test the
system's battery power. If the battery cannot maintain the system for the 4 minute period, the
command center will appear to go dead. If this happens, contact your security company. At the
end of the 4 minute period, AC is returned to the system and the panel restores. A message will be
sent to your security company upon initiation and completion of the Fire Test. During the Fire
Test, no 24-hour alarms will be sent to your security company.
If there is no activity on the system for 20 minutes, the system will automatically exit from the Fire
Test.
Using COMMAND 58:
1. Ensure your command center is at disarmed idle text.
2. Press the [COMMAND] bar. The display shows SYSTEM COMMAND.
3. Press the [5] key, then press the [8] key.
Note: If you prefer, you may use the Command Menu in place of steps 2 and 3 to initiate this function.
Press the [MENU] key to enter the Command Menu, then press [NEXT] repeatedly until you
reach the FIRE TEST ? prompt. Press [ENT].
4. The display shows ## PTS TO TEST.
5. One-at-a-time, activate the detection devices to fault each point.
6. As you fault each point, your command center will display the point text for 60 seconds and
ring the fire sounders for 2 seconds. This verifies that the detection device is working properly.
Your system automatically resets smoke detectors.
• When a resettable point (such as a smoke detector) is faulted, the display shows SENSOR
RESETTING for 5 seconds. During this time power is removed from smoke power
relays.
• Faulting a point more than once does not increment the test count. However, the
command center emits a brief tone and displays the point text each time you fault the
point allowing you to test multiple devices assigned to one point.
7. When all 24-hour points have been tested, 0 PTS TO TEST is displayed. Press [ESC]. The
display momentarily shows ALL PTS TESTED before returning to idle text.
8. During the Fire Test you may want to see the points that remain untested. When point text is
displayed, press [ESC]. The display shows ## PTS TO TEST. Press the [ESC] key. VIEW
UNTESTED ? is displayed. Press [ENT]. ## PTS UNTESTED is displayed. Press [NEXT] to
see a list of the points that have not yet been tested. Move through this list by pressing the NEXT
key. To resume the Fire Test, press [ESC]. ## PTS UNTESTED is displayed. Press [ESC]. ##
PTS TO TEST is displayed. Resume testing points. To end the Fire Test, press [ESC] twice.
