test devices, and the test is successful. Again, this
will most likely match the Been Active value, as all
devices will likely start in the clear state.
Curr.Active: Devices currently active.
TestZ: Number of zones with a device in Walk Test.
To summarize, if all the devices pass, the Selected and
Successful values will be the same, and they will likely
match the Been Active and Been Clear values. For the
results, you mainly use the untested or failed status
screen.
For a single device test, you will see a status screen.
Press the Details (F2) key to see the untested or failed
status screen.
When you first enable Walk Test, all selected devices
appear in this list, as you will not yet have tested them.
Devices disappear when you test them if the test is suc-
cessful.
If any devices are left in the list at the end of the test,
you should test them again to make sure you did not
accidentally miss them. Any remaining devices have
then failed the test.
In AUTOMATIC mode, devices will disappear as their
self-test is triggered by the control panel if the self-test
is successful.
To exit Walk Test mode, press the End (F5) key. Note
that you can leave the Walk Test screens and the Walk
Test will still be active. You may need to first return to
the Walk Test screen using the menus.
