Walk Test™ FEATURES,

Delay Before Reset

The programmer has the ability to set a Reset Time Delay. The delay time period starts after a
zone alarm is detected and runs until the detector is reset. The length of the delay may be
from 15 to 60 seconds, and may be adjusted depending on the method used to simulate an
alarm. A longer value is desired if smoke is used to bring in each detector. By default, the
delay is set to 15 seconds.
Logging Option
By default, the system enables the logging of Walk Test™ events. When logging is enabled,
(Log/No Log)
each zone that comes into alarm or fault is time-tagged and added to the Historical Fault Log.
This is very beneficial in cases where a 100% silent test is required. When testing, remember
to record the identity and order of the devices tested. When the Walk Test™ is finished,
compare this record with the Historical Fault Log and verify that all zones activated correctly.
The <F2> key is used to enable/disable the logging of Walk Test™ events to the Historical
Fault Log. By default, logging is enabled.
If the system is configured for a printer and the PRINT REPORT option is selected, the
Historical Fault Log is printed on the system printer.

Monitor Zone List

A Monitor Zone List is a point list that contains those monitor zones within a defined area of a
building. This list is initially filled by the system for the first group, and includes all monitor
zones. It can be edited using the tag list feature of the 4100 Programming Unit. An empty list
signifies that a Walk Test™ group is not used. The programmer has the option of changing
the label of this point list so that it is more meaningful for panel operation.. You cannot have
the same zone in more than one Walk Test™ group.
Programmer
Walk Test™ is a configured feature that may be set up during factory programming, although
Configuration
it is best programmed in the field with the 4100 Programming Unit. By default, Walk Test™
is protected at Access level 3. The access level required to enable your Walk Test™ is shown
on the Programmer's Report. Walk Test™ groups are selected from the LCD Main Menu.
Selecting Walk Test™ on the Main menu brings up the Walk Test™ configuration screen
which lists the setup for the Walk Test™ groups.

System Fault

The Walk Test™ has the ability to test signal circuits for fault (i.e. open/short) conditions.
This is accomplished by using the Walk Test™ output lists (L50 through L57) as the input
lists for signal fault conditions.
For example, if a signal circuit fault occurs on a point in Walk Test™ output list L50 (Group
0), and Walk Test™ Group 0 is enabled, the Walk Test™ fault code will play on all
signal/speaker circuits in Walk Test™ list L50. Note that the signal fault is not inhibited. An
actual fault condition will occur at the operator interface panel, but will be logged as a Walk
Test™ fault for that signal. This fault automatically clears when the signal circuit is returned
to normal in a Global Acknowledge system. In an Individual Acknowledge system, Point P4
(FORCE GLOBAL ACKNOWLEDGE) must be turned ON before performing a signal circuit
Walk Test™. If Walk Test™ is not enabled for the group containing the signal circuit in fault,
the fault condition passes through without playing the Walk Test™ code.
