3.6 ALARM TEST
What is the alarm test?
EXO’s alarm test is an audio/visual assessment used to ensure the siren,
speaker, LED lights and microphones are operating correctly on the area
monitor. The top lights will ash and you will hear pitches that gradually
get higher. The volume of the alarm test sounds cannot be adjusted.
When is a alarm test run?
A alarm test is run as part of the startup sequence, before all bump
tests, before each calibration and after every 24 hour period of
continuous run time.
What does a failed alarm test mean?
If EXO detects a problem while running the alarm test, the full test
will immediately be attempted two more times. If EXO still detects
a problem after the third attempt, a failed alarm test results will be
recorded and sent to Blackline Live.
NOTE: Muing the sounds during a alarm test will result in a failure. Too
loud of an environment will also result in a failed alarm test.
3.5 MAINTENANCE CODE
EXO features an optional maintenance code function to prevent
unauthorized individuals from changing the settings when the device
is unmanned. EXO’s entire menu, device power-down and volume
change actions are locked when a maintenance code is enabled.
