Fire Panel Interface (FPI) Test
State codes require that all Lock, Elevator
Deactivation, and Automatic Door Deactivation
be wired into a facility’s fire alarm system. In
Accutech Systems this is done via the Fire Panel
Interface (FPI).
This is done so in the case of a fire, any Lock,
Elevator Deactivation, or Automatic Door
Deactivation disengages, allowing free egress or
ingress. For more information on this policy,
check your local codes.
This test should be performed concurrently with
your facility’s fire alarm test.
WARNING!
Before you test the system, notify
the facility and the local fire
department that you will be testing
the fire alarm system.
1. Using a TAD, activate a test Tag.
2. Activate your facility’s fire alarm.
NOTE: The LED on the FPI enclosure
will blink.
3. Proceed to each zone to be tested and
verify that doors are unlocked and
egress is possible. Elevators and
automatic doors should be inoperable
due to the fire alarm.
4. Record the results (pass or fail).
5. If a zone fails to disengage during the
fire alarm, call your system service
technician immediately for further
assistance.
6. After your facility’s fire alarm has been
reset the FPI may automatically reset or
press the Reset button on the outside of
the FPI enclosure to reset the FPI and
engage all restraints.
NOTE: The Reset button on the FPI
enclosure will not work during the fire
alarm. You must reset the fire alarm first
and then reset the FPI.
7. Return to each tested zone with the test
Tag and verify that doors now lock and
elevators disable as you approach.
8. Using a TAD, deactivate the test Tag.
