5.3 Walk Test
Access level 2
Walk Test and Silent Walk Test is available via the
Menu
- Control - - Zone. - Select Zone - Silent Walk Test or - Walk Test
The purpose of the walk test is to verify the detectors, MCP's and optionally the alarm devices
(sounders) are functioning as required. Once a zone has been placed in walk test, the maintenance
personnel can manually activate each detector (or MCP) and check the local indicator is illuminated
and the alarm devices (sounders) operate if selected.
Details of walk test are as follows:
 Individual or multiple zones can be placed under test
 Zones placed under test can be removed from the test condition via the Zone Control menu
at access level 2 or 3
 Selecting “SILENT WALK TEST” performs the test without sounding programmed sounders
 Selecting “WALK TEST” performs the test activating associated sounders as programmed
 If “WALK TEST” or “SILENT WALK TEST” is invoked the control will toggle to display the
“REMOVE TEST” control
 The test indicator is illuminated if one or more zones are placed under test and will remain
illuminated for the duration of the test
 When a zone is placed under test the LCD displays a zone status of “WALK TEST”,
“SILENT WALK TEST”, or “C&E WALK TEST” depending on the type of active test
 If a fire is registered from within a zone under test the zone status will be displayed as
“WALK TEST FIRE” and sounders will sound if selected. The associated zone fire LED (if
fitted) will also be illuminated
 The common fire indicator will not be illuminated if a fire is detected from a zone under test
 The “WALK TEST FIRE” condition will not operate the designated Fire Output/s
 The “WALK TEST FIRE” condition will be logged and printed
 A fire detected from within a zone will be automatically reset every 5 seconds after it is
detected and associated sounders will be activated if selected for that duration. If the device
within the zone remains in fire the zone will re-enter the “WALK TEST FIRE” state, otherwise
the zone will be reverted to the active walk test status and the associated zone fire LED (if
fitted) is extinguish
 The test condition can be cleared by selecting “REMOVE TEST” from within the Zone
Control menu for individual zones
 Pressing the RESET key also removes all zones placed under test
 The walk test may alternatively be initiated as a System Effect in Cause and Effects. The
test will be performed on the zone designated by the Cause and Effect and the programmed
Sounders activated by default. The test will end when this System Effect is de-activated in
the Cause and Effect
Note: The test is not available if a fire condition existed at the panel prior to the test being
invoked
