3.5.9 How to do a Walk Test (6=
WALK
TEST
)
WARNING: A Walk Test can deactivate fire protection. When conducting a Walk
Test, make sure to do the following:
•
Secure all protected buildings, and notify the building owner/operator, fire
department, and other persons that testing of the system is in progress.
•
When finished doing a Walk Test, exit Walk Test immediately and return the
system to normal operation.
•
Notify the building owner/operator, fire department, and other persons that
testing is complete and the system is operating normally.
Purpose
The Walk Test option lets one person test the entire system without returning to the
control panel. Typically, you do a Walk Test by activating a set of devices in a planned
sequence. When you finish a Walk Test, you can compare the History buffer against the
planned test sequence.
There are two types of Walk Test, Standard and Silent, which are determined by the
way the outputs are programmed:
•
A Standard Walk Test is a test that sounds each output programmed for Walk Test
for 3 seconds. Program outputs for Walk Test.
•
A Silent Walk Test is a test that sends test information to a printer but does not
sound outputs. Do not program any outputs for Walk Test.
Figure 93 shows a sample programming screen with a control module selected for a
Standard Walk Test. For more information on selecting outputs for Walk Test, refer to
“How to a Program a Control or Relay Module” on page 83 or “How to Program a
Panel Circuit” on page 84.

The Control Panel in Walk Test
When in Walk Test, the control panel does the following:
•
Accepts each new alarm and activates its programmed outputs for approximately
3 seconds. For details on programming points for Walk Test activation, refer to
“How to Edit or Delete a Point (2=point)” on page 78).
•
Saves and stores each test in the History buffer.
•
Sends a TEST Axx (xx is the number of tests for a detector with this SLC address)
status banner for each alarm to the printer.
The “TEST Axx” message may be used to find installation errors. After
walk-testing the entire system and setting each device into alarm once, if two
devices are set to the same SLC address, a “TEST 02” will be reported for that SLC
address. The installer should verify that no “TEST 02” or higher entries exist in the
History buffer.
•
Turns on the System Trouble LED and the System Trouble relay. If a new trouble
occurs, all control modules programmed for Walk Test activate for 8 seconds and
