3.8 Walk Test

Walk Test allows the user to test the entire fire alarm system. There are two kinds of Walk Test -
Basic and Advanced, described later in this section.
Before entering Walk Test, note the following:
• For each individual activation, the control panel sends "TEST Axx" (for alarm testing) or
TEST Txx (for trouble testing) to the History buffer, installed printers and CRT-2s so results
can be reviewed.
• Basic Walk Test, Silent – In order to keep the test silent, do not program any of the output
modules with "W" in the Walk Test field.
• Advanced Walk Test - This test overrides a setting of "
activated outputs will sound until panel reset.
• The control panel provides a 1-hour timer for Walk Test mode. When the hour expires with
no activity, the control panel automatically returns to normal operation.
• Walk Test may be exited at any time by pressing the ESC key.
