Wa lk Tes t
To assist routine maintenance checks, a non-latching “one man walk test” facility is
available. When a detector is triggered on any zone(s) in test, the alarm sounders
operate for approximately one second on and eight seconds off. This cycle continues
until the cause of the alarm is removed (by the test smoke clearing from the detector),
at which point the detector circuit also automatically resets. As the engineer walks
around the site, additional devices on the zone(s) in test can be checked with the
momentary activation of the alarm sounders confirming correct operation.
Should an alarm occur on a zone that is NOT programmed for test, the alarm will be
processed in the normal way. All zones that are in test will have their test temporarily
suspended until the alarm(s) from the other zones are reset. At this point zone testing
may resume, i.e. the alarm will operate correctly despite being in test mode.
This sub-menu allows a walk test of one, or more of the panel’s three detection zones.
1.
From the Engineering menu, select Walk Test.
2.
Select the required walk test zone (1, 2, 3, or All) using the Scroll (up) and Scroll
(down) buttons.
3.
Press the Accept button.
4.
Use the Scroll (down) button to change from Normal Operation to Walk Test Mode
and press the Accept button.
5.
Repeat steps 2 to 4 to select additional zones for walk test.
6.
Press the Escape button to return to the Engineering menu.
Note : Take the relevant zones out of test when testing is complete.
