1 2 5 3 0 / 1 2 5 4 0 O W N E R ' S M A N U A LP/N 447203 Issue I VII-2QUICK TESTCAUTION: If the control unit has remote connections to the Fire Department orother monitor, be sure to disable the remote signals and notify the remotemonitoring station before performing test operations, since an off-normalcondition will be indicated.Quick test is possible in one of two modes, (silent or audible) and is selectable on a per-zone basis. Anynumber of zones may be placed into test at the same time, but only one mode of quick test operation ispossible for the whole system at one time. Points not in quick test operate normally. Quick test operationinitiates a system trouble condition.In the silent mode, all alarm outputs are disabled and only the front panel indications and remoteannunciator LEDs operate. In the audible mode all system sounders will sound momentarily as each ordevice is alarmed.The system maintains a counter of the number of activation’s during the quick test and reports this valuewhen quick test mode is exited.Quick test terminates into alarm if more than one device activates simultaneously, or if a device does notreturn to normal after being activated within a configurable length of time.Quick test terminates automatically into normal standby mode using a timer. The value of the timer isconfigurable. The timer can be configured to limit the total time of the quick test (i.e. the timer is startedonly when quick test is entered), or to limit the time between device activation’s (i.e. the timer is re-startedafter each activation).Alarm activation’s that occur in a system or zone in quick test or by a point in quick test cause the eventto be logged and printed. No other action is taken.To initiate quick test, enter maintenance mode as described above and follow menu instructions toconfigure and initiate the test.Initiation of General Alarm from the control unit, an RS485 LCD Annunciator, or an RS485 RemoteProcessor causes termination of quick test and starts the normal alarm sequence.Quick test may be terminated by a menu selection or by time-out (set at 5 to 30 minutes) from the last testactivation. Time-out system reactivation is annunciated by a 1/2 second on, 1/2 second off pattern fromsystem sounders programmed for drill use. A device in alarm condition when quick test is exited causesthe normal alarm sequence.NOTE: When any problem is observed with the system, refer to thetroubleshooting chart in Appendix C.
