6.1 General Guidance

This mode provides you with the means to conduct a periodic test, via the "PERIODIC TEST" menu, at least once a
week and after an alarm event.
When you are instructed to perform a periodic test, walk throughout the site to check the detectors / sensors (except for
Sirens and Temperature Sensors). When a detector/sensor is triggered into alarm, its name, number and the alarm
reception level should be indicated (for example, "Bathroom", "Z19 strong") and the buzzer should sound according to
the alarm reception level (1 of 3). Each device should be tested according to the device Installation Instructions.
To enter the "PERIODIC TEST" menu and to conduct a periodic test, proceed as follows:

6.2 Conducting a Periodic Test

The PowerMaster enables you to conduct the periodic test in four parts:
Siren Test: Each siren of the system is automatically activated for 3 seconds (outdoor sirens with low volume).
Temperature Sensor Test: When Temperature Sensors are enrolled in the system, the control panel displays the
temperature of each zone in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Test all devices: All devices are tested.
Other Device Test: Each of the other devices in the system is activated by the installer and the display indicates which
devices were not yet tested. The "it's me" indication helps to identify the untested devices if necessary. A counter also
indicates the number of devices that remain untested.
