10.4.6 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 ENTER to end 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.
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.
10.4.7 Manual AlarmNet Registration
1.
From the Main Menu, press 1 for System Tests.
2.
Select 8 for Register AlarmNet. The screen will display and ask for confirmation. Feedback will be given if the command was sent
or not.
10.4.8 Silence Alarms or Troubles
Press SILENCE to turn off silenceable outputs and annunciator PZTs. If an external silence switch has been installed, activating the
switch will silence alarms or troubles. If you are already using system menus when you press SILENCE, you will not need to enter your
code.
NOTE: Alarm and trouble signals that have been silenced, but the detector remains un-restored, will un-silence every 4 or 24 hours depending
on user selection until the detector is restored.
NOTE: Multi-Site displays do not allow for silencing multiple sites. Pressing SILENCE will only locally silence the PZT built into the
annunciator.
NOTE: For EVS systems, pressing silence at an LOC will only prompt for which system they desire to reset. See Section 10.5.1.
10.4.9 Reset Alarms
Press RESET to perform a control panel reset. If an external reset switch has been installed, activating the switch will reset fire alarms.
NOTE: Multi-Site displays do not allow for resetting multiple sites.
