Fire Alarm Systems

Plus , as you say , it resets after 5 seconds . So you gotta run downstairs super quick to see if the panel has responded

I understand what your saying, but fire system are built to monitor the detection circuit, so if no fault is showing on the zone, then it has no o/c and no c/c. And if when tested the led is lite. then proof of supply and cable have been proved

Oh right , fair enough , if thats the case then i will do silent tests from now on , obviously i'll do a sounder test in each zone to prove they work first haha . cheers tazz . You are indeed the man

Tazz defo the man here Joe. I learnt the hard way!!!

Would also like to make a small point that on some addressable systems you'll be able to find a log inside the panel delict of what has gone off while in test mode so you could confirm which have definitely gone off for your own piece of mind (obviously not on conventional systems).

Some addressable systems also have a printer on the front - such as an Advanced panel this also confirming a fire state.

With addressable you can also print off all activations including fire and faults upto 500-1000 depending on panel.....then print them out
