Positive Line Break Test; Earth Fault Test - Honeywell Vigilon 4 loop Generic Commissioning Instructions

Commissioning instructions

Positive line break test

A positive line break test should be carried out at this
stage:
¨
Disconnect the +ve loop connection at one End
of a loop circuit.
L1 (+ve)
LOOP CABLE
LINE
GROUND
BREAK
TEST
PANEL
enclosure
L1 0V
The display should read:
Wiring changed - split at card x
number y on loop z
"
A single +ve line break should not
cause the loss of any part of the system.
¨
Reconnect positive (+ve) line to clear the fault.
¨
Repair the loop using the [Repair] function the
panel, see page 62.

Earth fault test

Earth fault tests should be carried at this stage:
0V (-ve) LOOP CABLE
LINE
EARTH
FAULT
TEST
L1 0V
BOARD BOARD
0V-line earth fault test
TERMINALS ¨
Connect the 0V line to the earth of the control panel enclosure.
This may have to be sustained for up to 1 minute for the fault to be
detected. The display should read:
Earth Fault
¨
On removal of earth fault the display should read:
Earth Fault cleared
+ve line earth fault test
¨
Now connect the +ve line to earth via a 10K ohm resistor. This
may have to be sustained for up to 1 minute for the fault to be
detected. The display shows an Earth fault message as above and
after restoration a cleared message is displayed.
"
If the resistance between Earth and Loop +ve is in the
order of a few ohms then this will be registered as a 'short circuit'.

Type of earth fault
Interrogate the [PSU] readings using the [Test/Eng] menu
to establish the type of Earth fault.
Type of Earth fault Earth (Ear) reading
No earth fault around 60
+ve line and earth greater than 75
-ve line and earth less than 40
¨
At the end of the test operate the [Repair]
function at the panel.
