Walk Test
Alter Status
Basic Walk Test
- The basic test allows a single operator to run audible tests on the panel. All logic
equation automation is suspended during the test. All ACS devices will default to Disable. They
may be enabled by selecting NO at the DISABLE ACS BOARDS soft key on the Walk Test Menu
screen (Figure 4.9).
Advanced Walk Test
- The advanced test allows field-supplied output point programming that will
react to input stimuli such as CBE and logic equations. When points are activated in advanced
testing, each initiating event will latch the input. Release of the latch and subsequent activation of
the next point is controlled through use of the
NEXT
TEST
soft key. All ACS devices default to
disable. They may be enabled by selecting NO at the DISABLE ACS BOARDS soft key on the
Walk Test Menu screen (Figure 4.9). An advanced test is audible.
An audible test is intended for pull station verification, magnet-activated tests on input devices,
input and output device and wiring operation/verification. Only devices previously configured to
participate and designated as part of the test through the following screens will make sound.
Walk Test Activation Indications
FlashScan poll mode
- Once the
START
TEST
soft key has been pressed:
•
Each intelligent addressable input device will blink its address in red, and each intelligent
addressable output device will blink its address in green. Pattern examples are given below.
•
An input device activated in Walk Test latches on steady green for the duration of the test. If
the device is put in trouble (for instance, the detector head is removed, then replaced), the LED
will be latched on for the duration of the test.
•
An output device activated in Basic Walk Test will remain active and the LED will glow steady
green for
–
4 seconds for alarms
–
8 seconds for troubles.
•
An output device activated in Advanced Walk Test will remain active and the LED will glow
steady green until the
NEXT
TEST
soft key is pressed.
CLIP poll mode
- Once the
START
TEST
soft key has been pressed:
•
Intelligent addressable input and output devices continue to blink red as usual until activated.
•
An input device activated in Walk Test latches on steady red during activation. If the device is
put in trouble (for instance, the detector head is removed, then replaced), the LED will be
latched on for the duration of the test.
•
An output device activated during Basic Walk Test will remain active and the LED will glow
steady green (if a FlashScan module) or steady red (if a CLIP module) for
–
4 seconds for alarms
–
8 seconds for troubles.
NOTE:
Walk Test will not start if any devices are active (i.e., fire alarms, security, supervisories
or pre-alarms). To perform a walk test while a device is active, disable the device and press the
System Reset button.
NOTE:
In network applications, specific nodes can be excluded from having the ability to force the fire
panel out of Walk Test due to an alarm condition. This is programmable via VeriFire Tools. Refer to the
VeriFire Tools help file
