Safehouse Alarm (490-0470) Testing And Operating Faxback Doc. # 8831 After you completely install your alarm system, you should test it to be sure that it works and that you understand its operation. If you are using a telephone dialer, make arrangements with the person it will call before the test. Do not give them a false alarm. During testing, we recommend that you connect a 12V DC light that does not draw more than 2 Amp to the Burglar Alarm and a bell or siren, so that you do not cause a false alarm. Follow the steps below for testing the system: OPERATING SUMMARY 1. Connect each terminal as per the attached "Control Hook-up Diagram" and descriptions in this Owner's Manual. Then, set the Bypass switches of loops 1,2,3, and 4 to their NORMAL positions. 2. Plug the AC transformer (included) into an AC outlet. The unit is now armed. The AC POWER LED Individual ARM and LOOP LED's, MAIN ARM LED, and MAIN LOOP LED should light up. If any LED does not light, check the following points. a) If the AC POWER LED does not light, check whether the yellow button on the transformer has popped up due to an overload. If so, after overload has been corrected, push the yellow button in to turn the AC POWER LED on. b) If neither the MAIN ARM LED nor all the ARM LED's of loops 1 through 4 nor any LOOP LED nor MAIN LOOP LED lights, check the wiring of the loop whose LOOP LED does not light. If the wiring is corrected, the LOOP LED and the MAIN LOOP LED will light. If all LOOP LED's other than the MAIN LOOP LED light, check whether the wiring of the panic loop has been violated. The MAIN LOOP LED will turn on when the wiring is fixed. 3. If the MAIN LOOP LED is on, you can change the mode of the unit to ARM from DISARM by an arm/disarm switch connected to terminals 11 and 12. a) If the mode of the unit is set to the ARM mode, the MAIN ARM LED lights. In the DISARM mode, the MAIN ARM LED is off. b) If you change the position of the BYPASS switch to the BYPASS position while the unit is in the ARM mode, the ARM LED of its loop is turned off and its LOOP LED blinks. If all the Bypass switches of loops 1 through 4 are set to the BYPASS position, the MAIN LOOP LED blinks too. c) Note that the unit mode cannot be armed under the following conditions. 1) If any loop (with the BYPASS switch in the NORMAL position) or the panic loop remains violated. 2) If all the Bypass switches of loops 1 through 4 are set to the BYPASS position. 4. Set all the Bypass switches to NORMAL and arm the unit so that you can check the following functions: a) Check loop 1. As this loop is the delayed loop, the Exit and Entry Delay operates. The Delay times can be adjusted by the DELAY TIME ADJUST knobs on the front panel. Set the Delay times to maximum by the knobs. As soon as the unit mode is sent to the ARM mode, violate loop 1. After the Exit Delay time is up, the Pre-alarm connected to terminals 20 and 21 begins to sound and continues sounding during the Entry Delay time and the MAIN LOOP LED continues blinking. After the Entry Delay time is up, the burglar alarm connected to terminals 33 and 34 is turned on for 5 minutes. During the exit/entry delay, the ARM LED of loop 1 is off and the MAIN ARM LED does not blink. After the entry delay is over, the LED's start to blink. b) Check loops 2, 3, and 4. These loops are Instant Loops. As soon as these loops are violated the burglar alarm is turned on and is then automatically turned off 5 minutes later. c) If a loop is still being violated after the 5-minute alarm, the burglar alarm is not turned on again by that loop. If the violation was removed once and then occurs again, the burglar alarm is turned on again. (As loops 1 through 4 are independent, if loop 1 is still being violated after an alarm and loop 2 is violated, the burglar alarm is turned on). d) The Burglar Alarm is not turned on if a loop with the BYPASS switch in the BYPASS position is violated. e) Upon turning the burglar alarm on, the ARM LED of the loop which caused the alarm and the MAIN ARM LED start blinking. The blinking continues even after the alarm automatically stops. The blinking of LED's can be stopped by the RESET button after the alarm. You can stop the MAIN ARM LED's blinking by disarming the unit with the remote switch, but the ARM LED of the loop violated will remain blinking. To stop, press RESET or re-arm the unit. 5. Check loop 4 to DISARM mode. The Pre-alarm connected to terminals 20 and 21 is turned on during a violation of loop 4 when the unit is set to the DISARM mode. 6. Check the panic loop. If this is violated, the alarm sounds immediately for 5 minutes regardless of the mode the unit is in (even if in the DISARM mode). The unit changes to the arm mode if the panic loop is violated in the disarm mode. The MAIN ARM LED turns on and begins blinking at 3 times shorter intervals than on the burglar loop violation. The MAIN LOOP LED goes off. 7. Check the fire loop. Regardless of the mode the unit is in, the fire alarm sounds upon violation of this loop. This alarm continues until it is reset by the RESET button on the front panel. Connect an ELM (End of Line Module) to the fire detector which is connected to terminals 27 and 28. a) Open the wiring of this loop. The FIRE TROUBLE LED on the front panel is turned on, and at the same time, the fire trouble alarm is turned on. (FIRE TROUBLE LED refers to the LED for the "FIRE WIRING MONITOR"). The fire trouble alarm can be turned off by pushing the RESET button on the front panel and the FIRE TROUBLE LED keeps lighting until the wiring is fixed. b) Violate this loop. As soon as this loop is violated , the FIRE ALARM LED on the front panel is turned on and the fire alarm connected to terminals 34 and 35 is turned on. The fire alarm can be turned off by pressing the RESET button; the FIRE ALARM LED will remain on untill you remove the violation. If the FIRE ALARM LED remains on after removing the violation, press the FIRE ALARM TEST/RESTORE. When this loop is violated during the fire alarm, the burglar alarm does not start. If everything checks OK, disconnect the test light and reconnect the Alarm device(s) and begin using your system. (SMC/jlc-02/22/94)
