Edwards Signaling FireShield 10 Zone - Manual (Page 8)

System overview and operation
1.6 FireShield Technical Reference Manual
The IDC you are testing behaves as follows:
• For alarm events, the appropriate panel, FSRSI, and
FSRZI-A LEDs and buzzers are turned on
• In the audible test mode the notification appliances sound
for a number of times equal to the zone number (e.g. three
rings for zone three)
• After activation, the panel resets the IDC. This will take
eight seconds. During the reset period, the IDC trouble
LED fast-flashes. If the device being tested is not
restored, the IDC does not reset. If the device is restored
(no alarm is present) the panel is ready to test another
device or detector.
• If auxiliary power is programmed as resettable, the
auxiliary power is deactivated while the zone is reset
• Input zones programmed as waterflow with retard require
10 to 15 seconds of activation to initiate the test signals
• For trouble events, the appropriate LEDs and the buzzers
are turned on. In the audible (NAC) test mode a one-
second pulse sounds on the audible devices. After
sounding, the zone resets in preparation for continued
testing.
• For ground fault events, the appropriate LEDs and the
buzzers are turned on. In the audible (NAC) test mode a
one-second pulse sounds on the audible devices. After
sounding, the zone resets in preparation for continued
testing.
To conduct an audible walk test:
1. Press the Walk Test button once.
2. Press the Disable button for the IDC you want to test.
3. Conduct your walk test for the IDC.
4. When you are finished testing an IDC, press the Disable
button to turn off the walk test for that IDC.
5. Select another IDC to walk test (steps 2 through 4) or exit
from the walk test by pressing the Walk Test button.
To conduct a silent walk test:
1. Press the Walk Test button two times.
2. Press the Disable button for the IDC you want to test.
3. Conduct your walk test for the IDC.
4. When you are finished testing an IDC, press the Disable
button to turn off the walk test for that IDC.
5. Select another IDC to walk test (steps 2 through 4) or exit
from the walk test by pressing the Walk Test button.
Conducting lamp tests
Panel lamp test
A panel lamp test lights all the LEDs on the panel, FSRSIs,
and FSRZI-As so you can verify proper operation.
To test panel lamps:
1. Press and hold the Remote Disconnect and Walk Test
buttons simultaneously.
2. Verify proper operation of all LEDs on the panel.
During lamp tests the LCD displays:
DB# xx P: x.yy.zz
D: x.yy.zz
Where: DB# is the database revision number
P: x.yy.zz is the main panel version
D: x.yy.zz is the FSDACT version
FSRSI and FSRZI-A lamp test
FSRSI and FSRZI-A modules can be installed individually or
in groups to create a complete remote annunciator. You can
perform a local lamp test on the FSRSI and FSRZI-A. An
FSRSI is required to initiate this function.
To do an FSRSI and FSRZI-A lamp test:
1. Press and hold the FSRSI Silence button for five seconds.
2. Verify proper operation of all LEDs on the FSRSI and
FSRZI-As.
