10.2.1 Periodic Testing And Maintenance
To ensure proper and reliable operation, it is recommended that system inspection and testing be scheduled
monthly or as required by national and/or local fire codes. Testing should be done by a qualified services
representative if a malfunction is encountered.
Before testing:
1. Notify the fire department and/or central alarm receiving station if an alarm condition is transmitted.
2. Notify facility personnel of a test so that alarm sounding devices are ignored during the test period.
3. When necessary, activation of Notification Appliances can be prevented by the DISABLE function
Testing:
1. Activate a input via an alarm initiating device and check that the correct outputs activate (Notification
Appliances sound/flash, relays activate, alarm LED lights). Reset system. Repeat for each alarm initiating
device.
2. Momentarily open the following circuits one at a time and check for a trouble signal:
• Notification Appliance (bell) Circuits.
• Initiating devices
3. If new batteries were installed, wait 48 hours before completing this step. Remove AC power, activate initi-
ating device and check that:
• the ALARM indicator lights.
• all active Notification Appliances sound.
Measure battery voltage while the Notification Appliances are sounding. Replace any battery with terminal
voltage less than 85% of rating. Reapply AC power and RESET system.
10.2.2 Event History
The event history can be useful for tracking or recalling a trouble condition.
5496 module that has been physically
connected to the panel but is not being
recognized. Check the status of the 5496 green LED. If it flashes in the pattern .5 sec. on / .5
sec. off, it is likely that the 5496 has not been added to the system through
programming. JumpStart will add any 5496s connected to the panel. If you have
already run JumpStart, 5496s can be added manually (see Section 4.9).
Check that the correct ID for the 5496 module has been set through the DIP
switches. Assign ID#1 to the first 5496 and ID#2 to the second 5496. See Section
4.9.1 for complete details.
If the wiring between the 5496 and the panel is correct, measure the voltage from
5496 Terminal (+) to Terminal (-). Voltage should be in the range 27.2-27.4V
when AC power is present.
If the green LED is not flashing, the likely cause is incorrect wiring from
between the 5496 and the panel. See Section 4.4 for wiring details.
