6.5.3 Walk test
The 'Walk test' is a hardware function test for the devices and their assignment to
↑ 'Detection tree'. Additionally, the activation of 'Sounders' is tested.
In 'Walk test' test mode the fire detection installation has the following properties:
● The automatic detectors are set to high sensitivity.
● No alarm is triggered, but a test activation is indicated as a message, logged in
the event memory and printed out if need be.
● ↑ Alarm devices or controls are not activated except for the following:
– The 'External AI activation in detector/walk test' setting can define if the
output of the detector is activated in 'Zone' in the 'Detector test' or 'Walk
test' modes.
● No danger messages or fault messages are generated.
● With a superordinate function, all 'Zones' of the 'Section' or 'Area' for the 'Walk
test' can be selected.
● All 'Sounders' of a control panel are activated.
● The 'Detector test' LED on the ↑ Person Machine Interface is on.
An activated detector from a detector zone in 'Walk test' test mode generates a test
activation message instead of a ↑ danger level. No alarm devices or controls are
activated.
After termination of the 'Walk test' the normal detector sensitivity is set again to that
prior to beginning the 'Walk test' and the 'Detector test' LED is off.
The 'Walk test' test mode can be configured with a time out for terminating the test
mode.
6.5.4 Control test
The 'Control test' tests the function of the configured 'Controls' as in normal
operation, but the outputs are not activated.
In 'Control test' test mode the fire detection installation has the following properties:
● The 'Controls' are in normal operation and generate a corresponding message
on activation:
– Activation by a cause
– Activation by a command
● With a superordinate function, the 'Controls' can be carried out at the
corresponding 'Control' group level.
For example, this test mode can be combined with the 'Installation test'.
6.5.5 Test variants
As a test variant, for example, the controls in 'Control test' can be switched and
then the 'Installation test' can be carried out.
Additional test variants are as follows:
Testing the alarming equipment
● 'RT control'
– The 'Test activation' function activates the ↑ effects for 30 s and is then
automatically deactivated
Alarm simulation
An alarm can be simulated by activating a detector zone via a command. With this,
'Pre-ALARM' and alarm can be activated.
