Functionality Test
Conventional Alarm System
Remove cover of each smoke detector and proceed to disconnect one
wire from the device
The fire alarm panel should annunciate a trouble condition on the
signal circuit
If the annunciator confirms the signal, the device can be reconnected
and remounted to the wall or ceiling.
Repeat the process to each conventional device.
Interfacing
Upon completion of the installation, the system shall be subjected to
complete functional and operational test in place of each detector.
Upon actuation of any smoke detectors an audible alarm shall sound
the FACP continuously; a tone generated alarm with pre-recorded
message shall sound at the floor level in alarm condition. The LCD
display at the FACP shall indicate the area in alarm Connecting
