Chapter 3: Configuration and commissioning
Functional tests
Create a short and open circuit in the zone to test fault reporting for each.
Activate a manual call point to test manual alarm reporting. The control panel should
override any configured delays and activate alarm notification devices and fire
routing (where applicable) immediately.
Activate a detector to test automatic alarm reporting. The control panel should
initiate any configured delays and activate alarm notification devices and fire routing
(where applicable) once the delay time has elapsed.
Using a multimeter, verify that the fault relay is activated when a fault is reported and
that the alarm relay is activated when an alarm is reported.
