WalkTest™ Overview
Overview
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 steps.
1.
Create WalkTest Groups.
The FACP supports up to eight WalkTest groups. This allows
the building to be divided into small portions for the WalkTest, while the rest of the building is
protected by the fire alarm panel. Each group has a list of control points (initiating devices)
and a list of the signal circuits that activate when one of the group's control points activates.
Refer to the ES Panel Programmer’s Manual (574-849) for information on adding control
points (initiating devices) and signals/relays to a WalkTest group.
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 control point in the same group activates.
Turn this option on (along with the WalkTest logging option) 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 "Setting WalkTest Options" later in this section for information on setting
these options.
3. Manually Activate Initiating Devices in Each Group and Interpret Signals .
Individually activate each initiating device in the group, using a magnet or canned smoke.
Make sure to proceed in a logical manner (i.e., start with the lowest IDNet or MAPNET
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 sig-
nals. 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 and MAPNET devices, the first set of pulses from the signals correspond to the
channel. The signals then pause momentarily and the second set of pulses correspond 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 25 times 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 (i.e., remove the sensor from a TrueAlarm device), and then listen to the signals. The
signals sound steady for 4 seconds to indicate trouble conditions, then reset.
Important Notes Signals and initiating devices (with the exception of pull stations) automatically acknowledge and
automatically reset, allowing for one-man testing without the need for someone at the main control
panel to acknowledge and reset the system each time an initiating device and its associated signals
activate.
A silent WalkTest may be performed (no signals will sound) and logging of events may be selected.
Refer to "Setting WalkTest Options" below for additional information.
If an alarm condition is detected from a zone that is not in the present active WalkTest™ group, the
system will operate as a fire alarm panel and the active WalkTest™ groups are aborted.
