5.8 Walk Test (Installer function only)
To do a walk test, all zone alarms, troubles and relays must be in their normal state. You can program the walk
test to be either audible or silent (see “Audible Walk Test” on page 26).
1. To walk test the panel press the Walk Test button. The common trouble LED flashes and the buzzer
sounds one short beep. The panel will be in walk test mode for one hour, or until you press the Walk Test
button again.
2. As you test each part of the system, the panel will give the following indications:
Zone LEDs operate normally except that alarms do not latch - the alarm LEDs will turn off when the zone is
restored and the auto-reset has been successful.
Alarm and trouble relays are NOT activated. If used, any remote connection is not activated.
3. To return the system to normal operation, press the Walk Test button. If you do not press the Walk Test
button, the system will return to normal operation after one hour. If any zones are in alarm at the end of the
walk test, the zones will indicate silenced signals.
