FIRE TEST ?

Description
Use this function to test fire points to be certain they function
properly. You can review untested points at your command center
to help locate the remaining detectors to be tested.
Upon initiation, the fire test will test the fire pattern on the alarm
output and ring the command center sounder for 2 seconds. The
AC is 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 appears to go dead. If this happens,
contact your servicing company. At the end of the 4 minute period,
AC is returned to the system and the panel restores. A message is
sent to your monitoring facility upon initiation and completion of
the Fire Test. During the Fire Test, no alarms are sent to your
monitoring facility.
If there is no activity on the system for 20 minutes, the system
automatically exits from the Fire Test.
Using Fire Test:
1.
Press the [ESC] key to enter the menu, then press [NEXT]
repeatedly until you reach the FIRE TEST ? prompt.
Press [ENT].
2.
The display shows ## PTS TO TEST.
3.
One-at-a-time, activate the detection devices to fault each
point.
4.
As you fault each point, your command center displays the
point text for 60 seconds and the bell will sound 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.
