Testing a device (test fire)
A test fire is a test activation of a smoke or heat detector or input
module. A test fire can be conducted to test for proper operation of
a detector or input module and its programming. When a detector is
test fired, the panel sends a command to the detector at which time
the detector simulates a smoke or heat buildup, causing an actual
activation of the detector. When an input module is test fired, the
panel sends a command to the module at which time the module
simulates an activation (alarm, supervisory, or monitor).
Note: NAC responses activate as programmed.
