Renaming a Group
Verification
The default names for the groups are Supv Verification Group 0 through Supv Verification
Group 7.
To add a more descriptive name to the group, follow these steps.
1. Right click on the group whose name you want to change and select Properties. The Alarm
Verification Properties dialog appears.
2. Click on the List tab in the dialog.
3. Enter a name for the group in the Description field.
4. Click the Apply button, followed by the OK button to close the dialog.
WalkTest™ WalkTest allows the function of the system's initiating devices and signals to be tested by a
single person. Conducting a WalkTest requires you to perform the following general steps.
• Step 1. Create WalkTest Groups. The ES Panel supports up to eight WalkTest groups.
This allows the building to be divided into small portions for the WalkTest, and allows
the rest of the building to be protected by the fire alarm panel. Each group has a list of
monitor points (initiating devices) and a list of the signal circuits that activate when
one of the monitor points within the group activates.
• Step 2. Enable WalkTest Options from Front Panel. These options include the
following:
- Which WalkTest Group is enabled.
- Whether the group's signals turn on when a monitor point in the same group
activates. Turn this option off to perform a silent WalkTest on the system.
- Whether logging of WalkTest information is enabled or not. (Enable this option to
perform a silent WalkTest. Refer to the 4007ES Operator's Manual (579-1165) for
information on setting these options.)
• Step 3. Manually Activate Initiating Devices in Each Group and Interpret Signals.
Individually activate each initiating device in the group, using the manufacturer's
recommended test equipment. Make sure to proceed in a logical manner (i.e., start with
the lowest IDNet address and work toward the highest). Each time you activate an
initiating device, the system's signals pulse a code that allows you to verify exactly
which initiating device triggered the signals. For hardwired monitor zones, the signal
code corresponds to the number of the zone. (For example, if the zone number is eight,
the signals pulse eight times to indicate zone eight.) For IDNet devices, the first set of
pulses from the signals correspond to the channel. The signals then pause momentarily
and the next set of pulses corresponds to the number of the device on the channel. For
example, if you activate an IDNet smoke detector with an address of M1-25, the
signals would sound once to indicate channel one, pause for a short duration, and then
sound two pulses followed by a pause and then five pulses to indicate device 25. In
some cases, immediately after verifying the function of an initiating device, you may
also want to verify its ability to generate a trouble condition. To do this, cause a trouble
on the device and then listen to the signals. The signals sound steady for 4 seconds to
indicate trouble conditions, and then reset.
