WALK TEST MODE
This function will place the panel into "walk test" mode. Walk test mode is used for the on-site testing of
detector zones. This mode cannot be selected if any zone(s) is in alarm. Entry to walk test mode will be
acknowledged by three beeps and the LCD will display "WALK TEST MODE".
For the duration of walk test mode, all zones are changed to output configuration #2 (indicate and ring bells
only) and all zones are set to type #1 (standard latching, 2 second).
If the bells are not required to ring during walk test, simply press the "BELL ISOLATE" key once. The bell
isolate LED will illuminate to verify that the bells have been isolated.
Any alarm signal from detectors etc. will be received by the panel on its appropriate zone. The panel will beep
to acknowledge receipt of the alarm and indicate the alarm by illuminating the appropriate alarm LED for 4
seconds (the bells will also ring for a 3-second period unless previously isolated).
The zone and detector will then be automatically reset.
If the optional printer is connected, the alarm will be printed out as it is received together with the date and
time. This can eliminate the need for a second serviceman to record zone numbers during walk test and the
printout can be retained for verification at a later date.
Pressing any key will terminate the walk test mode and return the panel back to normal operation, restoring all
zone types and output configurations also ensuring that bell and ancillary outputs are de-isolated. The bells will
give three pulses of 1 second each to warn any testers still in the building that walk test mode has been
terminated.
Failure to receive any alarms or keystrokes within a 15 minutes period will result in the panel automatically
exiting walk test mode and returning back to normal as follows;
•
Bell outputs to be de-isolated.
•
Ancillary outputs to be de-isolated.
•
Bell will sound 3 times, each of 1-second duration.
•
Zone types and output configurations restored
