3.3.12 WALK-TEST
OPERATION
Walk-Test provides a means to manually verify the proper operation of the system without unneeded
disturbance to building occupants. Walk-test operation can be initiated by the CyberCat 50 controller or
directly at each input device using Fike’s IR tool (P/N 55-051). When executed from the CyberCat 50 panel,
walk-test functions as a toggle mode, it is either ON or OFF. All SLC loop devices are taken off-line and will
NOT initiate normal system events. While walk-test is active, the control panel operates as follows:
1. Panel sounder pulses (can be programmed to not participate in walk-test).
2. TROUBLE LED flashes.
3. LED on active (walk-test) device blinks Green then Red when tested to indicate it is in the TEST
ALARM status. LEDs will flash green every 5 seconds when alarm level clears.
4. System outputs (notification and control) will activate continuous (4 second duration) if programmed
for specific Zone and State (walk-test) of activated device.
5. Sends walk-test message to remote displays, history buffer, printers, and PC monitoring stations.
6. Displays walk-test event on the LCD display for 100 seconds as follows; then switches to the System
Status Display if all events are restored and no buttons are pressed:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

Exhibit 3-13: Walk-Test Display
•
Row A – Displays the Walk-Test active event
•
Row B – Displays the 20 character custom message for the active device
•
Row C – Displays the Time and Date of Event
•
Row D – Displays the event number (XXXX) and the total number of current events (YYYY)
How to respond to a Walk-Test Event:
1. Press the ACKNOWLEDGE button to silence the panel sounder only. The control panel will send an
acknowledge message to remote displays, history buffer, printers, and PC monitoring stations.
2. Press the SILENCE button to silence the panel sounder and any activated outputs that are programmed
as silenceable. The control panel will send a silence message to remote displays, history buffer, printers,
and PC monitoring stations.
3. Walk-Test events are non-latching. The panel will exit the walk-test mode after 60 minutes of inactivity
and will reset itself back to normal operation. The timer restarts upon any event or press of a button.

Note:
The default Walk-Test timeout is 1 hour but can be set for a maximum of 4 hours. This timer
restarts upon any event or press of button. If no events or buttons are pressed for the set timeout period,
the system will automatically reset itself back to normal operation.
Refer to Sections 3.4.9 and 6.4.1.4 for further details.
