Terofire Plus Instruction Manual

The test lamp will light as soon as a zone is placed in test mode.
Placing too many zones at once in test mode will leave the building
without adequate protection.
When a zone in test mode detects a fire condition, the alarms will ring
for approximately three seconds before resetting. The auxiliary
contacts do not operate during a test fire situation. If the panel is left in
test mode and no events occur for approximately 10 minutes, the panel
will automatically return to normal operation.
If a fire is detected on a zone not in test, then the panel will enter a fire
condition and exit test mode.
To exit test mode and return the panel to normal operation press the
Reset button.
Setting a zone as non-latching.
In some situations, such as interlinking fire alarm panels, it is necessary
to set a zone as non-latching. When a fire is detected on a non-latching
zone it will signal fire as usual but it will automatically reset as soon as
the device signalling fire is reset, and the auxiliary contacts will not
operate.
Setting a zone as non-latching is very similar to putting a zone into test
mode. Press and hold down the Test button on the front panel.
Momentarily press the button marked CPU RESET (SW1) inside the
panel, wait a few seconds then release the Test button. If the internal
buzzer sounds continuously and the CPU fault lamp is lit, press the
button marked W/D RESET (SW2) inside the panel. Zone 1 fault lamp
will be flashing. Press the Test button to cycle through the zones.
Press the Silence button once to configure the selected zone as
non-latching. When the configuration process is finished, wait for the
panel to return to normal operation (approximately 25 seconds).
This information is stored in the panel as long as power is connected. If
the panel is completely powered down then this information must be
re-entered.
