4.8.3 Sensor Automatic Test
Note: This is a maintenance facility only. If you initiate a
zone walk test (as described in Section 4.8.1), or
if a FIRE is detected elsewhere in the system, while
the automatic test is in progress, that test is
automatically cancelled if so configured.
This option is only available if the panel is already
configured to perform this test daily or weekly at a
programmed time of day. The test differs from the normal
walk test in that no part of the panel is taken off watch for
more than a few seconds, and no operator intervention
is normally required unless a fault is detected. There is
normally no need to force the panel to undergo this test
ahead of the scheduled time, but if you need to do so:
1 Press the ‘0’ pushbutton, as detailed in Section 4.8,
followed by the appropriate pushbutton to select the
Auto-test NOW option. One of the following is
displayed (depending upon what interval is configured
in the panel):
2 Press to start the test. The panel will revert to the
normal top-level display, but with one of the messages
shown below on line 2 of the display (the message
also appears when the test is in progress at the
scheduled time):
The message is displayed for as long as the test is
under way (the length of time depends on the
configuration of the panel, but will typically be 10-15
minutes).
