11.0 WALK TEST OPERATION
Walk Test
allows an installer to test initiating devices and verify the initiating circuit wiring in a system.
Walk Test mode is entered by pressing and holding the
Buzzer Silence and Lamp Test Momentary Switches for
at least 5 seconds
.
Circuits to be tested are identified using the Circuit Disconnect Slide Switches. Activation of any Initiating Circuit
which has been selected for Walk Test will cause the Audible Indicating Circuits to activate briefly for a number of
short bursts corresponding to the Circuit number.
Any subsequent activations on the same Initiating Circuit will activate the Audible Indicating Circuit only once. If
another Initiating Circuit is activated then the Audible Indicating Circuits will activate for a number of short bursts
corresponding to the Circuit number of the new zone being walk-tested, and so on.
If Initiating Circuit #3 is first activated, the Indicating Circuits will sound for three bursts, with additional activations
sounding for one burst, etc. The initial burst interval denoting the count of the Circuit number is one second on and,
one half a second off, corresponding to the Circuit being tested. The subsequent burst interval denoting additional
activations on the same Initiating Circuit is one half second on then off. After the sounding pattern has been sent
on the Indicating Circuits, the Initiating Circuit is reset and tested again. If it is still active (in alarm) the pattern will
be reoccur.
Trouble on any Initiating Circuit selected for Walk Test causes the Indicating Circuits to be activated continuously
for 5 seconds.
Alarm Verification and Water-flow Alarm Retard Operations are disabled on Circuits while being Walk Tested.
All Circuits not selected for Walk Test continue to function normally.
Walk Test operation is disabled if the Fire Alarm Control Panel is in Alarm or goes into Alarm while Walk Test is
active. It will also time-out after 60 minutes of no activity.
