Response to Fault Indication
If a failure is found, the detector indicates by:
Fault relay:
Opens in wiring option 1, 2, and 4
Closes in wiring option 3 and 5
0-20mA: indicates Fault (0mA or 2mA) in wiring option 1, 2, 3
LED – Yellow flashes (4 Hz)
Correcting the Fault
The fault indications remain until the detector’s power is removed. The fault
indications return if the fault is still found when power is restored.
1.6.2 Built-In-Test (BIT)
The detector’s Built-In-Test (BIT) also checks the following:
Electronics circuitry
Sensors
Window cleanliness
The detector can be set to perform the BIT in the following modes:
Automatically and manually
Manually only
Note: In Manual BIT, the outputs may also be tested and Control System
‘inhibit’ should be applied if this could initiate other systems.
1.6.2.1 How the BIT Operates
The detector's status remains unchanged if the result of a BIT is the
same as the current status (NORMAL or BIT Fault)
the detectors’ status is changed (from Normal to BIT Fault or vice versa)
if the BIT differs from the current status
Note: In ‘BIT Fault’ status the detector can continue to detect a fire.
