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

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...

for the reply!!

I dont suppose anyone has a manual for this panel??

Suppose I should really join the Eng forum for manuals

If anyone needs any Gent manuals or info I have this for most panels

Thanks

Hi, Probably a bit late but we have some Notifier manuals, and support, we are after a manual for a Gent 3400 Panel

Hi Dave,

If you want to Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx As Chorlton states, no manuals given here. I used to work for Gent.

A while since I worked on one of these but from memory I think that if the panel is in test mode the disablements on the sounders are over ridden if you hit a zone not in test (in fact,Im sure of it now).

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!!!

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.

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
