VISTA-10SE Installation and Setup Guide
22-2
If a key (or key pair) has been programmed for fire, the keypad and external sounder will
emit an interrupted alarm sound, and ALARM, FIRE and zone number will be
displayed.
Silence alarms by entering the security code and pressing [OFF] key.
9.
If Output Relay Units have been installed, test their programmed action.
10.
Notify the central station when all tests are finished, and verify results with them.
To test the wireless part of the system and the RF Receiver, perform the two following tests:
Transmitter Sniffer Mode and Go/NoGo Test Mode.
Transmitter Sniffer Mode
Make sure the system is disarmed before trying to enter this mode.
Key Installer Code + [#] + [3]. This initiates a procedure that will check that all 5800
Series transmitters have been properly programmed.
NOTE: If the communicator is in the process of sending a report to the central
station, the system will not go into the Sniffer mode. If so, wait a few
minutes, and try again.
The keypad will display all zone numbers of wireless units programmed into the
system. As the system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone
number of that transmitter will disappear from the display. The transmitter codes
may be checked upon installation, or in an installed system.
All the wireless zone numbers should disappear after about 1-1/2 hours.
NOTE: Any transmitter that is not properly entered into the system will not turn
off its zone number.
Exit the Transmitter Sniffer mode by keying Installer code + [OFF].
Go/No Go Test Mode
By keying Installer code + [#] + [4], a mode similar to the test mode is entered, but
the wireless receiver gain is reduced. Checking in this mode not only assists in
determining good mounting locations for the transmitters when the system is being
installed, but also verifies that the RF transmission has sufficient signal amplitude
margin for the installed system.
1.
Enter the Installer code + [#] + [4].
2.
Once transmitters are placed in their desired locations and the approximate
length of wire to be run to sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw
terminals, fault each transmitter. Do not conduct this test with your hand
wrapped around the transmitter, as this will cause inaccurate results.
•
The keypad will beep three times to indicate signal reception.
•
If the keypad does not beep, re-orient or move the transmitter to another
location. Usually a few inches in either direction is all that is required.
3.
Exit the Go/NoGo mode by keying Installer code + [OFF].
TO THE INSTALLER
Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the installer and frequent testing by the user are vital to
continuous satisfactory operation of any alarm system.
The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and offering a regular maintenance program to the user
as well as acquainting the user with the proper operation and limitations of the alarm system and its component
parts. Recommendations must be included for a specific program of frequent testing (at least weekly) to insure the
system's proper operation at all times.
