6815 module that has been physically
connected to the panel but is not being
recognized.
13.2 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 service representative if a malfunction is encountered.
Before testing:
1.
Notify the fire department and/or central alarm receiving station.
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 indicator lights). Reset system. Repeat for each alarm initiating device.
2.
Momentarily open the following circuits one at a time and check for a trouble sign:
- Notification Appliance Circuits
- Initiating devices
3.
If new batteries were installed, wait 48 hours before completing this step. Remove AC power, activate initiating 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 rat-
ing. Reapply AC power and reset the system.
13.3 Event History
The event history can be useful for tracking or recalling a trouble condition.
To view event history:
1.
Press 3 to select Event History.
2.
Press the up or down arrow key to view events in the history buffer.
13.4 Built-in Troubleshooting and Testing Tools
The fire control panel has several built-in testing and troubleshooting tools that can be utilized to save time while testing and trouble-
shooting points and SLC devices.
13.4.1 SLC Device Locator
SLC device locator can be used to locate a device on a SLC loop.
Follow these steps to locate a particular SLC device:
1.
Select 2 for Point Functions from the Main Menu.
2.
Select 4 for SLC Single Device Locator.
A message similar to the one shown in Figure 13.1 will display.

Problem
Check the status of the 6815 green LED. If it flashes in the pattern .5 sec. on /
.5 sec. off, it is likely that the 6815 has not been added to the system through
programming. JumpStart will add any 6815s connected to the panel. 6815s can
be added manually (see Section 9.2.2).
Check that the correct ID for the 6815 module has been set through the DIP
switches. Assign ID#1 to the first 6815and ID#2 to the second 6815. See
Section 4.13.1 for complete details.
If the wiring between the 6815 and the panel is correct, measure the voltage
from 6815 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 6815 and the panel. See Section 4.9.1 for wiring details.
