Walk Testing
In order to verify the installation, there is an inbuilt facility (Walk Test Mode) to temporarily reduce the time delay
to 10 seconds. A SENSALINK SENLP or SENSA SENP Programmer is required to access this facility.
Using the SENSA SENP:
Use the DIL switches to enable walk test mode.
Move around the area that is being controlled, stopping for 10 seconds to allow the lights to switch off, before
moving and triggering the lights back on.
Re-programme the desired Off Delay once testing is complete (SENSALINK SLOCSP) only).
Using the SENSALINK SENLP:
Go to the Utilities menu, place the cursor over ‘Walk Test’, point the programmer at the detector and press OK.
Move around the area that is being controlled, stopping for 10 seconds to allow the lights to switch off, before
moving and triggering the lights back on.
After 5 minutes, the time-out will be restored to what it was before walk test was enabled.
Notes on Walk Testing:
l
During walk test, after the lights have turned off, wait 5 seconds before moving again because the sensitivity
is deliberately reduced for a few seconds following switch off.
l
Sensitivity is greater when approaching the circular footprint at a tangent rather than heading towards the
centre (see Fig. 7).
l
Most luminaires take approximately 1 second to strike after presence has been detected.
l
The detection pattern is cone-shaped which means that when standing at the very edge of the detection
footprint only a person’s feet will be visible (see Fig. 8).

If the distance between the bottom
of the sensor and the bottom of the
end cap exceeds 59mm, there may
be a blind spot in the detection
zone.
