    System Configuration With the factory default configuration, all outputs are configured to activate with any inputs configured as alarms. If output circuit correlations are enabled (see 9.8 Configuration Features on page 66), outputs must be configured to one or more inputs to activate at all. This configuration is referred to as a correlation.

  • Page 71: Display Configuration

    System Configuration Notes: The feature called “Output Circuit Correlations Enabled” must be ON for indicating circuit correlations to operate (see 9.8 Configuration Features on page 66), otherwise all indicating circuits will be common alarm. This means that they will all activate with any input circuits configured as alarms. Relay circuits are always enabled for correlations.

  • Page 72: Walk Test Operation

    Walk Test Operation 10.0 Walk Test Operation A walk test allows you to verify the initiating circuit wiring in a system. The walk test is a special configuration mode function (function 80 on the configuration DIP switches). Circuits to be tested are identified using the circuit disconnect switches. Activation of any initiating circuit that has been selected for the walk test will cause the audible indicating circuits (not strobes) to activate briefly for a number of short bursts corresponding to the selected circuit number.
