| 1: |
MAINS PHASE NEUTRAL TEST. AC voltage between Live and Neutral.
This should measure between 220 - 250VAC.
MAINS PHASE EARTH TEST: AC voltage between Live and Earth.
This should be the same as the previous reading.
MAINS NEUTRAL EARTH TEST: AC voltage between Neutral and Earth.
This reading should not exceed 1.2VAC. |
|
| 2: |
POWER SUPPLY TEST:
Transformer AC voltage output.
This should measure between 14 - 21VAC.
|
|
| 3: |
POWER SUPPLY CURRENT
NORMAL TEST: AC current used by system when unset.
Measure with meter in series with the transformer output.
|
|
| 4: |
POWER SUPPLY CURRENT
IN ALARM TEST: AC current used by system when in alarm. As step
3.
|
|
| 5: |
INDUCED AC TEST:
AC voltage between DC+ and earth.
AC noise should not exceed 1.2 volts max.
|
|
| 6: |
BATTERY CHARGING
VOLTAGE TEST: DC voltage at battery terminals.
Measure with charge leads connected to the battery.
|
|
| 7: |
PANEL AUXILIARY
DC VOLTAGE TEST: DC voltage supply to detectors.
Should be within ±1volt of the battery charging voltage.
|
|
| 8: |
BATTERY FLOAT CHARGE
TEST: DC mA current flowing through battery. Should fall from
a double mA figure to a single mA figure within 30 seconds.
|
|
| 9: |
BATTERY SYSTEM CURRENT
NORMAL TEST: DC current used by system when unset.
Ideally, not more than 5% of the batteries Ah capacity.
|
|
| 10: |
BATTERY SYSTEM CURRENT
IN ALARM TEST: DC current used by system when in alarm.
Ideally, not more than 10% of the batteries Ah capacity.
|
|
| 11: |
BATTERY
TEST: Record Temperature, Voltage
°C DCV Ah
and Capacity available. Replace battery when
reading
falls below 65% of Ah capacity. |
| 12: |
CIRCUIT RESISTANCE
TESTS: Record all circuit resistances. Circuits must be removed
from control panel before testing.
|
|
| 13: |
CIRCUIT EARTH LEAKAGE
TEST: Check for resistance between zone, tamper and earth. Test
with meter on highest Meg Ohm range.
|
|
| 14: |
BELL TAMPER RETURN
TEST: Record resistance between 0Volt and removed tamper return.
Check for stable resistance. Ring bell to induce vibration.
|
|
| 15: |
PANEL ZONE WALKTEST:
Walktest all detection zones to confirm operation.
Check each circuit operates normally, especially after lightning.
|
|
| 16: |
SELF-ACTIVATING
BELL TEST: Remove hold-off voltage to confirm operation. Replace
if defective.
|
|
| 17: |
BELL & STROBE TEST:
Activate bell and strobe to confirm operation. Replace if defective.
|
|
| 18: |
COMMUNICATOR TEST:
Activate communicator to confirm operation. Confirm correct
operation with Alarm Receiving Centre.
|
|
| 19: |
WIRING AND CONNECTIONS:
Check panel for incorrect or loose wiring connections. Check
all cables are marked and connected correctly.
|
|
| 20: |
DETECTOR VOLTAGE
TEST: Check voltage at furthest detector is above 13VDC. Low
or unstable DC voltage at the detector is a main cause of false
alarms.
