sparkydom Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi, Was on a site this week with a Notifier ID2000 8 loop panel. I had Sounders and all Outputs disabled. Zone 1 in test mode, had tested around 20 smokes no problem Then I wondered into another zone (not on test) and smoked a detector.........Bells sound even though disabled. Is this a common S/W problem with these panels or a deliberate feature? Just wondered if anyone has had any similar experiences with this This site has had some odd loop probe before, but not with isolations such as this in advance Dom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered if anyone has had any similar experiences with this This site has had some odd loop probe before, but not with isolations such as this in advance Dom Sometimes two zones in fire will overide test mode on fire alarms, one of the detectors in the zone on test may have activated as you tested the second zone causing a fire event that overides test/disabled sounders. All software has diffrences, I'm not sure what this one does... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is like a box of chocolates, some bugger always gets the nice ones!

Bell box bob Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 This is normal operation on these panels you have to put each zone in walk test otherwise like you found out when you stray from the zone lol it makes a right racket!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jockney Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 the lights of the zone under test poll differently, on a zone in test mode, oh yeah, dont test call points when in test mode, the bells will ring ! at least on a notifier afp4000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quot] Yep you are all pretty correct, however if you isolate sounders after youve put the zone in test ,sounders dont usually sound ut to be honest this panel has no problem coping with at least 30 plus heads at once in fire ,so you may as well isolate aux and sounders and forget test mode. this is the same for the honeywell variant of this panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1011 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 i have a couple of these systems on my patch and i found that when you go into the disable menu you have the choice of disabling sounders,relays or sounders and relays.found that if you chose sounder and relays if you do stray into another zone it does in deed activate the sounders.but from experiance have found that if i selected sounders only came out the menu and back in then selected relays if you then stray into another zone it does not activate..
