Operational tests
9.1. Control panel tests
9.1.1. Pre-checks
In order to ensure the system is functioning properly, the following pre-operational checks
should be made, even before any test on the control panel or the system:
Note: Any connection or movement of the control panel must be carried out with the
panel disconnected, both from the power supply, and from the batteries.
1) ZONES: Check the detectors and the end of line resistor (4K7) are connected properly,
as well as the manual call points before connecting the control panel to the electrical
power supply and activating the batteries.
Note: Take caution with the polarity of the Devices.
2) POWER SUPPLY: The voltage of the electricity power supply is 230 Vac 50 Hz.
Connect the control panel to the electricity power supply.
3) BATTERY: Connect both components in series (Pay attention to the polarity). When
voltage is present, there will be 24-27 Vdc on the battery terminals.
4) ZONES: With the system in standby, the voltage on the zone output terminals will be
22 Vdc.
5) SOUNDER: On the terminal box there must be -14 Vdc (It must not be disconnected).
The control panel must be put into standby mode activating the "B" indication led (see chapter
2.1.1).
Once these checks have been carried out, proceed with the configuration of the control panel
and/or the remaining necessary tests.
9.1.2. Control panel tests
9.1.2.1. Alarm tests
In order to check that the alarm functions of the control panel are operating properly, the
following operations must be carried out:
1) Disconnect the wires of the extinguishing relay (R2) at the input of the extinguishing
mechanism to avoid triggering when the output of this control panel is activated.
Note: VERY IMPORTANT !!!
As we are in test mode, it will be prevent that the activation of the extinguishing
output (R2) trigger the extinguishing mechanism of the flooding zone.
2) An alarm will be caused in one of the zones, verifying that:
a. The buzzer of the control panel is active.
b. The alarm output is active.
c. The "P" zone leds will be activate, general alarm "A" and triggering of the relay
R1 "S" (see chapter 2.1.1).
Note: The indicator led "P" activates fixe or flashes depending on whether or
not the alarm is triggered by a manual call point or a detector respectively.
d. Advanced Warning Extinguishing output (R1) activates.
e. The sounder output will activate, and the "F" indicator led in compliance with
the configured delay.
