5. Using the Menus

○ Using the UP’ andDOWN’ menu navigation keys (11), you can move the cursor through the MAIN’ menu. Press theENTER’ key to select stimuli from the MAIN’ menu. ○ Pressing theESCAPE’ key goes back to the MAIN’ menu, or when a test sequence has been programmed and theMAIN’ menu is displayed, the ESCAPE’ key will cancel the programmed test sequence. ○ ADOWN’ arrow on the bottom right of the MAIN’ menu indicates more options are available below. Use theDOWN’ key on the keypad to move down through the menu. (12).
○ The UP’ arrow on theMAIN’ menu indicates more options available above. Use the UP’ key on the keypad to move up through the menu (13). ○ Press theLEFT’ key on the keypad to go back one menu level.

Testing a Detector

1. How to Perform a Test

○ To carry out a simple, single stimuli

○ As the detector enters Testifire, the infrared beam test, use the UP’ and DOWN’ keys on the keypad to highlight the stimulus required e.g. Smoke’ (23). is interrupted by the body of the detector and the chosen test will begin, indicated by theStatus’ LED flashing faster.

○ Raise the Testifire head unit up to the
Note: It is very important that the detector under 23 detector to be tested, and place it test is in the correct position (22). Ideally, the centrally over the detector. bellows should seal against the ceiling surface.

2. Simultaneous Testing (selected tests at the same time)

In this example, Smoke’ andHeat’ are selected as a simultaneous test (24).
○ Move the cursor to Smoke’ and press theENTER’ key
1′ will be displayed alongsideSmoke’.
○ Move the cursor to Heat’ and press theENTER’ key
2′ will be displayed alongsideHeat’. Press ENTER’ once more to display1′ alongside Heat’. l Repeat the above as required for additional stimuli. ○ To delete a test setup, use theESCAPE’ key .
1. Programme the tests: Smoke 1
2. Raise Testifire over the detector: Smoke’ andHeat’ are tested at the same time as test `1′.
3. Lower Testifire from the detector: The test is completed and ready to test another detector in the same way.

3. Sequential Testing (selected tests, one after another)

In this example, Smoke’,Heat’ and CO’ are selected as a sequential test (25). ○ Move the cursor toSmoke’ and press the ENTER’ key1′ will be displayed alongside Smoke’. ○ Move the cursor toHeat’ and press the ENTER’ key 2′ will be displayed alongside Heat’. ○ Move the cursor toCO’ and press the ENTER’ key3′ will be displayed alongside CO’. ○ To delete a test setup, use theESCAPE’ key .
1. Programme the tests: Smoke 1 Heat 2 CO 3
2. Raise Testifire over the detector: Smoke’ is tested as test1′.
3. Lower for 2-10 seconds, then raise Testifire again: Heat’ is tested as test2′.
4. Lower for 2-10 seconds, then raise Testifire again: CO’ is tested as test 3′.
5. Lower Testifire: The test is completed and ready to test another detector in the same way.

4. Combined Simultaneous and Sequential Testing

In this example, Smoke’ andHeat’ are combined as a simultaneous test followed by CO’ (26). ○Heat’ and Smoke’ can be combined as the first operation, followed by a CO’ test. Note: you will need to lower the head unit between each test.
○ To delete a test setup, use the `ESCAPE’ key .

Using these methods, you can programme Testifire to combine tests and continue in sequence.
In this example Smoke’ andHeat’ are tested together as test 1′ and then CO’ is tested as test 2′. **Note:**Clear’ (clearing) can also be selected in any of the above operations.
