4: Conduct A Fire Drill; 5: Conduct An Indicator Test; 6: Conduct A Walk Test; 7: Conduct A Communicator Test - Honeywell 6820 Manual

Basic Operation
9.3.4 Conduct a Fire Drill
This system test initiates a Fire Drill alarm and activates Fire Drill mapping for 10 minutes or until a user manually exits the fire drill.
1. From the Main Menu, press 1 for System Tests.
2. Press 1 for Fire Drill. You will be prompted to press ENTER.
3. The drill will begin immediately after you press ENTER.
4. Press any key to end the drill. (If you do not press any key to end the fire drill manually, it will time out automatically after ten minutes.)
If a fire drill switch has been installed, activating the switch will begin the drill; deactivating the switch will end the drill.
9.3.5 Conduct an Indicator Test
The indicator test checks the annunciator LEDs, PZT, and LCD display.
1. From the Main Menu, press 1 for System Tests.
2. Press 2 for Indicator Test. The system turns on each LED several times, beeping the PZT as it does so. At the same time it scrolls each
available character across the LCD. A problem is indicated if any of the following occurs:
• An LED does not turn on
• You do not hear a beep
• All four lines of the LCD are not full
This test will run for approximately 15 minutes or until the user manually exits. You can press any key to end manually while the test is still
in progress. When the test ends, you will be returned to the Test Menu.
9.3.6 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 initi-
ated if the test is enabled in the user profile.
1. From the Main Menu, press 1 for System Tests.
CAUTION: ALARM VERIFICATION
!
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 Report. The LCD will display "WALK TEST STOPPED" on Line 1 and "ENTER = start test" on Line 3.
Enter the time period you wish the NAC circuit to be active for each alarm (06 to 180 second), if you select this option, central station
reporting will be disabled while the test is in progress.
Select 4 for Walk Test-with Report. The LCD will display "WALK TEST STOPPED" on Line 1 and "ENTER = start test" on Line 3.
Enter the time period you wish the NAC circuit to be active for each alarm (06 to 180 seconds) If you select 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. 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 there is an alarm or pre-alarm condition 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.
9.3.7 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.
9.3.8 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.
9.3.9 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 resound every 4 or 24 hours depending
on user selection until the detector is restored. Refer to "Auto-Resound (4 or 24 hours)" on page 94.
