11.0 WALK TEST OPERATION
Walk-Test allows an installer to verify the Initiating Circuit wiring in a system. Walk-Test is entered by pressing and
holding the Buzzer Silence and Lamp Test Momentary Switches for at least 5 seconds. Circuits to be tested are
identified using the Circuit Disconnect Slide Switches. Activation of any Initiating Circuit which has been selected for
Walk-Test will cause the Audible Notification Circuits to activate briefly for a number of short bursts corresponding to
the Circuit number. Any subsequent activations on the same Initiating Circuit will activate the Audible Indicating Circuit
only once. If another Initiating Circuit is activated then the Audible Notification Circuits will activate for a number of short
bursts corresponding to the Circuit number of the new zone being walk-tested, and so on.
If Initiating Circuit #3 is first activated, the Indication Circuits will sound for three bursts, with additional activations
sounding for one burst, etc. The initial burst interval denoting the count of the Circuit number is one second on half
a second off. The subsequent burst interval denoting additional activations on the same Initiating Circuit is one half
second on then off. After the sounding pattern has been sent on the Notification Circuits, the Initiating Circuit is reset
and tested again. If it is still active (in alarm) the pattern will be re-sent. Trouble on any Initiating Circuit selected for
Walk-Test causes the Notification Circuits to be activated continuously for 5 seconds.
Alarm Verification and Water-flow Alarm Retard Operations are disabled on Circuits being Walk-Tested. All Circuits
not selected for Walk-Test continue to function normally. Walk-Test operation is disabled if the Fire Alarm Control Panel
is in Alarm or goes into Alarm while Walk-Test is active. It will also time-out after 60 minutes of no activity.
