7.8 Testing Your System
7.8.1 Zone (System Walk) Test
The Zone Test is used to confirm that detectors will report alarms
to the keypad. A Zone Test works on all zones, except 24-hour
zones and fire zones. While the keypad is in a Zone Test, no control
panel alarms will activate an alarm, except 24-hour zone alarms
and fire alarms; these will override the Zone Test function.
To perform a Zone Test:
• Press [PIN] + [#] [8] [1].
- The DS7445/DS7445i zone LEDs of any untested zones will
flash.
- The DS7447/DS7447E displays “Test Zone” followed by the
zone number of any zones that have not been tested.
• Pick any untested zone and manually cause a detector to alarm
using a method specified in the detector’s Installation
Instructions.
- The DS7445/DS7445i zone LED for the zone currently being
tested will turn on steady.
- The DS7447/DS7447E displays “Now Testing” followed by
the zone number of the zone that is currently being tested.
• Clear the alarm condition from the detector using a method
specified in the detector’s Installation Instructions, and trigger
an alarm on the next detector in that zone. Continue until all
detector’s in that zone have been tested.
- As each zone is tested, its DS7445/DS7445i zone LED turns
off.
- As each zone is tested, the DS7447/DS7447E display returns
to “Test Zone” and indicates the remaining untested zones.
• Test each zone.
• Exit the Zone Test using [PIN] + [#].
7.8.2 Battery Tests
You may perform a test of the battery and the local sounder or just
test the battery. If these tests are performed from a Master keypad,
it must be in Single Partition Mode. System Tests are not available
from RF (wireless) keypads.
To initiate a Local Battery / Sounder Test:
• Press [PIN] + [#] [8] [5]. All keypad LEDs will turn on. The keypad
sounder and all alarm sounding devices will operate for two
seconds. If the test fails, the control panel will indicate a control
problem. See Error Displays on page 30.
NOTE: If power in your building has been off recently, wait two
hours for the battery to recharge and then try again.
To initiate a Battery Test:
• Press [PIN] + [System Reset]. The control panel will perform a
battery test. The control panel will report a Low Battery or a Low
Battery Restoral if necessary.
7.8.3 Communicator Test
This test is available only if the system transmits alarms and system
information to a monitoring service, and has been programmed by
the security installing company to permit communicator tests. This
test can be performed from a Master Keypad. The account code for
partition #1 will be used. System Tests are not available from RF
(wireless) keypads.
To initiate a Communicator Test:
• Press [PIN] + [#] [8] [2]. A long beep will sound. A “Test” report is
sent to the monitoring service. If the test fails, the keypad sounder
will sound continuously. To silence the sounder, press [System
Reset].
NOTE: This test may take several minutes to complete because
the control panel will try ten attempts.
7.8.4 Fire Walk Test
This test is used to confirm that Smoke detectors will report alarms
to the keypads. The Fire Walk Test tests all fire zones, including
verified fire and waterflow.
At the start of the Fire Walk Test a Fire Walk Test report, if
programmed, is sent to the central station. Fire alarm reports are
not sent to the central station during the Fire Walk Test. A Fire Walk
Test restoral is sent upon completion of the Fire Walk Test.
The Fire Walk Test is enabled for 20 minutes once it is started. The
test time is extended to 20 minutes every time another zone is
tested.
When a fire zone is tested, any output programmed to follow that
zone will activate for 5 seconds.
To perform a Fire Walk Test:
• Press [PIN] + [#] [9] [1].
- The DS7445/DS7445i zone LEDs of any untested zones will
flash.
- The DS7447/DS7447E displays “Fire Test” followed by the
zone number of any zones that have not been tested.
• Pick any untested zone and manually cause a detector to alarm
using a method specified in the detector’s Installation
Instructions.
- The DS7445/DS7445i zone LED for the zone currently being
tested will turn on steady.
- The DS7447/DS7447E displays “Fire Testing” followed by
the zone number of the zone that is currently being tested.
• Clear the alarm condition from the detector using a method
specified in the detector’s Installation Instructions, and trigger
an alarm on the next detector in that zone. Continue until all
detector’s in that zone have been tested.
- As each zone is tested, its DS7445/DS7445i zone LED turns
off.
- As each zone is tested, the DS7447/DS7447E display returns
to “Fire Test” and indicates the remaining untested zones. *
• Test each zone as instructed by your installing company.
• Exit the Zone Test using [PIN] + [#].
NOTE: A Fire Walk Test will prevent the system from sending any
Fire Reports during the test.
