7.8Testing Your System
7.8.1 Zone (System Walk) Test
The Zone Test is used to confirm that detectors will report alarms to the keypad. A Zone Test works on all zones, except
To perform a Zone Test:
•Press [PIN] + [#] [8] [1].
-The DS7445/DS7445i zone LEDs of any untested zones will flash.
-The DS7447/DS7447E displays “Test Zone” followed by the zone number of any zones that have not been tested.
•Pick any untested zone and manually cause a detector to alarm using a method specified in the detector’s Installation Instructions.
-The DS7445/DS7445i zone LED for the zone currently being
tested will turn on steady.
- The DS7447/DS7447E displays “Now Testing” followed by the zone number of the zone that is currently being tested.
•Clear the alarm condition from the detector using a method specified in the detector’s Installation Instructions, and trigger an alarm on the next detector in that zone. Continue until all detector’s in that zone have been tested.
-As each zone is tested, its DS7445/DS7445i zone LED turns off.
-As each zone is tested, the DS7447/DS7447E display returns to “Test Zone” and indicates the remaining untested zones.
•Test each zone.
•Exit the Zone Test using [PIN] + [#].
7.8.2 Battery Tests
You may perform a test of the battery and the local sounder or just test the battery. If these tests are performed from a Master keypad, it must be in Single Partition Mode. System Tests are not available from RF (wireless) keypads.
To initiate a Local Battery / Sounder Test:
•Press [PIN] + [#] [8] [5]. All keypad LEDs will turn on. The keypad sounder and all alarm sounding devices will operate for two seconds. If the test fails, the control panel will indicate a control problem. See Error Displays on page 30.
NOTE: If power in your building has been off recently, wait two hours for the battery to recharge and then try again.
To initiate a Battery Test:
•Press [PIN] + [System Reset]. The control panel will perform a battery test. The control panel will report a Low Battery or a Low Battery Restoral if necessary.
7.8.3 Communicator Test
This test is available only if the system transmits alarms and system information to a monitoring service, and has been programmed by the security installing company to permit communicator tests. This test can be performed from a Master Keypad. The account code for partition #1 will be used. System Tests are not available from RF (wireless) keypads.
To initiate a Communicator Test:
•Press [PIN] + [#] [8] [2]. A long beep will sound. A “Test” report is sent to the monitoring service. If the test fails, the keypad sounder will sound continuously. To silence the sounder, press [System Reset].
NOTE: This test may take several minutes to complete because the control panel will try ten attempts.
7.8.4 Fire Walk Test
This test is used to confirm that Smoke detectors will report alarms to the keypads. The Fire Walk Test tests all fire zones, including verified fire and waterflow.
At the start of the Fire Walk Test a Fire Walk Test report, if programmed, is sent to the central station. Fire alarm reports are not sent to the central station during the Fire Walk Test. A Fire Walk Test restoral is sent upon completion of the Fire Walk Test.
The Fire Walk Test is enabled for 20 minutes once it is started. The test time is extended to 20 minutes every time another zone is tested.
When a fire zone is tested, any output programmed to follow that zone will activate for 5 seconds.
To perform a Fire Walk Test:
•Press [PIN] + [#] [9] [1].
-The DS7445/DS7445i zone LEDs of any untested zones will flash.
-The DS7447/DS7447E displays “Fire Test” followed by the zone number of any zones that have not been tested.
•Pick any untested zone and manually cause a detector to alarm using a method specified in the detector’s Installation Instructions.
-The DS7445/DS7445i zone LED for the zone currently being tested will turn on steady.
-The DS7447/DS7447E displays “Fire Testing” followed by the zone number of the zone that is currently being tested.
•Clear the alarm condition from the detector using a method specified in the detector’s Installation Instructions, and trigger an alarm on the next detector in that zone. Continue until all detector’s in that zone have been tested.
-As each zone is tested, its DS7445/DS7445i zone LED turns off.
-As each zone is tested, the DS7447/DS7447E display returns to “Fire Test” and indicates the remaining untested zones. *
•Test each zone as instructed by your installing company.
•Exit the Zone Test using [PIN] + [#].
NOTE: A Fire Walk Test will prevent the system from sending any Fire Reports during the test.
