Walk test
The first option, “WALK TEST” starts a test procedure to all connected
fire detection devices connected to this control panel and lasts 1 hour
(with countdown timer).
After selecting this option, the system informs the technician that
during this procedure the fire detection system will not conform with
EN54-2, due to temporary inactive fire detection (in test).
Next, the control panel asks for siren mode (enabled or disabled). By
enabling the sirens, every time a new a alarm event is triggered by
any of the connected devices, all conventional and addressable sirens
will sound for 6 seconds, else they stay inactive.
The walk test screen is similar to the screen on the right. Each time a
new alarm is triggered, the point’s name is indicated on screen for a
few seconds and the point’s red LED lights for 14 seconds. The
panel’s relay outputs are not affected by walk test, they remain to
initial position.
During a walk test each fire detection device can trigger a fire alarm
only one time.
Exit the walk test by pressing Esc key.
