• There is no fire protection for the IDC in walk test
If an unselected IDC goes into alarm or trouble, all outputs operate as
programmed.
The IDC you are testing behaves as follows:
• The appropriate panel, FSRSI, and FSRZI-A LEDs and buzzers are turned
on.
• In the audible test mode, the notification appliances sound for a number of
times equal to the zone number.
• After activation, the panel resets the IDC. During the reset period
(approximately eight seconds), the IDC trouble LED flashes rapidly. If the
device being tested is not restored, the IDC does not reset and the LED
continues to flash. If the device is restored (no alarm is present), the panel is
ready to test another device or detector.
• Resettable auxiliary power is deactivated while the zone is reset.
• Input zones programmed as waterflow with retard require 10 to 15 seconds of
activation to initiate the test signals.
• For trouble events, the appropriate LEDs and the buzzers are turned on. In
the audible (NAC) test mode a one-second pulse sounds on the audible
devices. After sounding, the zone resets in preparation for continued testing.
• For ground fault events, the appropriate LEDs and the buzzers are turned on.
In the audible (NAC) test mode a one-second pulse sounds on the audible
devices. After sounding, the zone resets in preparation for continued testing.
