3.1 System check

3.2 System power-up

Once all connections and the installation have been verified, the fire panel can be
powered up in the following sequence:
1. Mains power.
2. Batteries.
At this time only the green service LED and (if programmed) the Sounder Delay LED
should be on. All other LED indicators should be off. If any other LED indicators are on
check your installation thoroughly before continuing.

3.3 Functional test

For a zone test, the fault simulations must be carried out by causing short-circuits and
opening the zone lines (to check the short and open circuit faults respectively).
A POWER SUPPLY FAULT WILL BE DELAYED BEFORE INDICATION.
Once the fire panel has been checked, it is advisable to perform a check on the
functionality of the detectors connected in the installation.

Before connecting the fire panel to the main power supply check the following
points.
The fire panel has been properly installed.
There is no short or open circuit in any of the zone lines.
All end-of-line resistors are installed (see section 2.2.4)
If manual call points have been installed, they have a resistor of 100 Ohm 2W in
series with their contacts (see section 2.2.6)
All required optional configurations (class change, potential free relays outputs,
auxiliary 24 VDC output) are all properly connected (see .
Sounder lines are properly connected with its polarity and with corresponding end-of-
line resistors of 4k7 Ohm. Program sounder delays as decided (see chapter 2.3.1)
The correct configuration of any special operating mode that has been programmed.
If no special mode is desired position all DIP switches to the OFF position.
Check that the mains power is either 230 VAC or 110 VAC using a tester. Place the
mains fuse accordingly. Check that the batteries have a voltage higher than 24 VDC.
The alarm simulation in the zone may be carried out by placing a resistor of 100 Ohm
2 W in parallel to the zone, or by activating a manual call point or detector.
Verify that when a fault is caused, the fault relay is activated.
Verify that when an alarm is raised, the alarm relay is activated immediately. After the
programmed delay, alarm sounders should also be activated.
If a class change input is used, its activation will activate the sounders as well.
