Testing
Inspection
Perform the following prior to applying power to the system.
• Check the actual wiring hookup with the wiring diagrams.
• Insure that no pieces of wire have fallen into the circuitry.
• Check for missing or damaged parts.
Alarm Test
An initial alarm test should be conducted following installation to determine that all parts of the system
are functioning properly. The panels should remain powered for 24 to 36 hours proir to connecting the
releasing solenoids. This precaution will avoid false discharges of gas in case of faulty or improperly placed
detectors.
To perform an alarm test on the panel follow this procedure
1. Disconnect AC power and battery power.
2. Disconnect the installed solenoid valve circuit leads an connect spare solenoid valves, or connect
an end-of-line device to serve as a dummy load.
3. Reconnect AC power and battery power.
4. Initiate a first zone alarm condition by blowing smoke into one of the Zone 1 smoke detectors. This
should cause the first zone alarm condition.
• The alarm relay will energize.
• The red zone alarm LED will be illuminated.
• The remote Indicating Circuit #1 audible alarm and the local piezo will start sounding.
Maintenance
A regular schedule of inspection, testing, and maintenance is vital to insure proper and reliable operation
of the control panel. The procedures should be performed as required by the local authority having
jurisdiction. Refer to NFPA for further details.
