WalkTest

™

WalkTest allows the function of the system's initiating devices and signals to be tested by a
single person. Conducting a WalkTest requires you to perform the following general steps.

•

Step 1

. Create WalkTest Groups. The ES Panel supports up to eight WalkTest groups.

This allows the building to be divided into small portions for the WalkTest, and allows
the rest of the building to be protected by the fire alarm panel. Each group has a list of

monitor points (initiating devices) and a list of the signal circuits that activate when

one of the monitor points within the group activates.

•

Step 2

. Enable WalkTest Options from Front Panel. These options include the

following:

- Which WalkTest Group is enabled.
- Whether the group's signals turn on when a monitor point in the same group

activates. Turn this option off to perform a silent WalkTest on the system.

- Whether logging of WalkTest information is enabled or not. (Enable this option to

perform a silent WalkTest. Refer to the

4007ES Operator's Manual

(579-1165) for

information on setting these options.)

•

Step 3

. Manually Activate Initiating Devices in Each Group and Interpret Signals.

Individually activate each initiating device in the group, using the manufacturer’s

recommended test equipment. Make sure to proceed in a logical manner (i.e., start with

the lowest IDNet address and work toward the highest). Each time you activate an
initiating device, the system’s signals pulse a code that allows you to verify exactly

which initiating device triggered the signals. For hardwired monitor zones, the signal

code corresponds to the number of the zone. (For example, if the zone number is eight,
the signals pulse eight times to indicate zone eight.) For IDNet devices, the first set of

pulses from the signals correspond to the channel. The signals then pause momentarily

and the next set of pulses corresponds to the number of the device on the channel. For
example, if you activate an IDNet smoke detector with an address of M1-25, the

signals would sound once to indicate channel one, pause for a short duration, and then

sound two pulses followed by a pause and then five pulses to indicate device 25. In
some cases, immediately after verifying the function of an initiating device, you may

also want to verify its ability to generate a trouble condition. To do this, cause a trouble

on the device and then listen to the signals. The signals sound steady for 4 seconds to
indicate trouble conditions, and then reset.
