The Romteck Grid Alarm Signalling Equipment (ASE) can be taken offline in order to allow for works on site without transmitting fire alarms through to Fire & Rescue. To do this a Romteck Non-Magnetic Dallas Key is required to unlock the ASE. This will then allow users to scroll through the menu and select “Activate Test” which lasts either two or four hours(model dependent) before timing out.
