SERVICE MODE - TEST
Function: This menu allows you to walktest the zones and doors on the system.
Additional Information
Testing a zone/door
The left hand side of the top line of the display shows the zone/door to be tested, while the result of the last zone tested is to the
right. The node and input to which it is assigned are displayed on the bottom line.
To help identify the location of the zone/door, press the Help key to display the zone description (if one exists). In door walktest,
the door description will be displayed on the bottom line of the display (if one exists), otherwise the door number and zone type
assigned will be displayed.
The system will start by requesting the first online zone on the system to be tested and then work in ascending numerical order
until the last zone on the system is tested.
The message TEST 1 will remain in the display until the system detects a change from zone 1. While waiting for this change, all
other zone changes are displayed and noted by the system. This is so that when their turn in the numerical sequence comes, it
will be unnecessary to walktest those zones again (the system skips to the next zone which has not changed state since the start
of the test).
Whilst the panel is displaying TEST, you can view the zone description for the zone in question by pressing the Help key.
If a zone cannot be tested for some reason, you can skip it by pressing the # key.
Printout
When Walktest is chosen, a printout is started which displays information about the walktest. First, the time and date of when the
test started is printed along with any zone which is skipped. When the walktest is complete, the number of zones correctly tested
are printed along with the number which were not tested. The final line of the printout gives the time and date at which the test
was finished.
Note If a zone is inhibited or disabled, it will only be reported in the display when it is the zone currently being tested.
