The test is cancelled if the Clear key is pressed. There is also a maximum time
limit on the test, set in “8.1.3.3 Walk test time” (see page 234). The test fails if
this timer expires. If engineer reset fails and inhibit reporting has not been
enabled when accessing the programming mode then a message is sent to the
central station to indicate that the test failed (see “Accessing the installer
programming menu” on page 108).
Single zone walk test
You can also use “1.2.5.3 Single zone WT” on page 129 to perform a single zone
walk test on the same rules as the engineer walk test described above.
Walk test mode
A special walk test mode allows verification of the whole alarm system
functionality. In this mode, a service engineer or a guard must perform as many
actions on the operating alarm system as possible. This may include set and
unset, entry and exit, activating all detectors and tampers. The system operates
as usual, sending all alarm and tamper events to the central station, except none
of system sirens is active.
This allows the central station operator to review all received alarms and verify if
appropriate system functions are working properly.
Active walk test
Active walk test allows you to test alarm reporting in case of a confirmed alarm
simulation (required by ACPO).
Choose zone A for A-alarm, and zone B for B-alarm.
First, activate zone A, and then zone B.
The panel will simulate a confirmed alarm and send all appropriate reporting
events to the central station.
Notes
• The tested zones must be one of the following types: 1. Alarm, 4. Fire, 5.
Panic, 6. 24H, 7. Tamper, 13. Fire door.
• Options “4.1.n.6.11 Engineer walk test” on page 175 for these zones must be
enabled.
• The user privileges in this area must have Walk test allowed. See “3.2 User
groups” on page 168 for more details.
User walk test
If the user walk test is configured and enabled, the user is requested to perform
the user walk test prior to setting an area. The frequency of this request is
defined in “1.2.5.2.7 Frequency” on page 128. If the option “1.2.5.2.8 Need to
set” on page 128 is enabled, setting an area without prior user walk test is not
allowed.
