7.12AlarmTest/TroubleTestA single switch with a center-off position is provided on the front panel to test all of the individual line detectingmodule functions for both alarm and trouble.a.Raising the switch to the upper position simulates the presence of smoke in all line detector modules.b.Operation of alarm test results in all line detector modules going into the alarm condition as well as theproduction of a common alarm output from the main panel (common alarm output is the illumination ofcommon alarm lamp plus the energizing of the smoke alarm bells in the wheelhouse and engine room).Common and line alarm lamps are illuminated on the repeater panel (when used).c.Simulated alarms should be cancelled by operation of reset switch. It is recommended that test conditionsnot be left in effect for a longer period of time than necessary to ensure proper annunciation.d.Lowering of the test switch to the trouble position simulates a trouble condition in all line detector modules.e.Operation of the trouble test switch, while held in the test position, results in the display of the amber troublesignal on the front of each line detector module as well as the common trouble signal on the electronic cabinetdrawer front (common trouble signal represents illumination of the common trouble lamp plus the energizingof the trouble buzzer at the main detector cabinet and the common signal device at the remote repeatercabinet respectively).f.Trouble signals do not latch. Therefore, the trouble indication generated by trouble tests will persist only aslong as the switch is depressed.7.13BellCircuitsTwo bell circuits are provided; one for the bell in the engine room and one for the bell in the wheelhouse, asrequired by U.S. Coast Guard regulations. Both bell circuits are continually supervised by the detector cabinetfor presence of the bells in the circuit, the wiring of the bells, circuit continuity, and both ground fault and shortcircuit conditions. The bell circuit faults produce the illumination of the alarm bell trouble LED indicator and thecommon trouble lamp. A common trouble condition operates the trouble buzzer at7-9
