Conduct a Walk Test

Walk Test is a feature which allows one person to test the fire alarm system. The Walk Test will run for 4 hours or
until the user manually exits. If an alarm or pre-alarm condition is occurring in the system, you will not be able to
enter the walk test. A walk test may only be initiated if the test is enabled in the user profile.
1. From the Main Menu, press 1 for System Tests.
If any alarm verification zones are being used, the user will be asked if they wish to disable alarm
verification during walk test. This occurs for either walk test option.
2. Select 3 for Walk Test-No Rpt. Enter the time period you wish the NAC circuit to be active for each alarm
(06 to 180 seconds). The LCD will display "WALK TEST STOPPED" on Line 1 and "ENTER = start test"
on Line 3. By selecting this option, central station reporting is disabled while the test is in progress.
Select 4 for Walk Test-with Rpt. Enter the time period you wish the NAC circuit to be active for each alarm
(06 to 180 seconds). The LCD will display "WALK TEST STOPPED" on Line 1 and "ENTER = start test"
on Line 3. By selecting this option, central station reporting will occur as normal during the walk test.
The panel generates a TEST report to the central station when the walk test begins. During a walk test, the
panel's normal fire alarm function is completely disabled, placing the panel in a local trouble condition. All
zones respond as 1-Count zones (respond when a single detector is in alarm) during a walk test. Each alarm
initiated during the walk test will be reported and stored in the event history buffer.
3. To End the Walk test, go to the main menu. Select 1 for System Test, then press 3 or 4. Press
the walk test. The system will reset. The panel will send a "TEST RESTORE" report to the central station.
If you do not end the walk test manually within four hours, it will end automatically. If an alarm or pre-alarm
condition is occurring in the system, you will not be able to enter the walk test.
Note: The panel does not do a full 30 second reset on resettable power outputs. As soon as the device is back to
normal, the panel is ready to go to the next device.
10.4.7

Conduct a Communicator Test

1. From the Main Menu, press 1 for System Tests.
2. Select 5 for Communicator Test. The screen will display "Manual Communicator Test started". When the
test is completed, you will be returned to the <Test Menu>. A manual communicator test requires that at
least one daily test in the network be enabled in communicator programming.
3. The Manual communicator test will be communicated out both Phone Lines and Ethernet/Cellular paths if
they are all programmed. Each manual communicator test will alternate between one of the Phone Line
paths and one of the AlarmNet paths.
