3-2.5.2.5.2 How to Run an Audible Walk Test
Purpose: To suspend normal system operation for functional testing of
one or more SmartOne initiating devices.
The ARIES Control Unit will not display and act upon alarm reports from
initiating devices selected for walk testing. There is no need for the
operator to acknowledge, silence, or reset an event initiated during a
walk test. The control unit will only energize outputs programmed for
walk-test activation for a period of one second following the receipt of
an alarm signal from any of the devices selected for walk testing.
Outputs programmable for walk testing include control unit-based
NACs and combination circuits configured as NACs and SLC-based
output modules (such as ASMs and AOs).
The most-current walk-test results for all initiating devices are stored
in the walk-test log. The walk-test mode will automatically end after 30
minutes of inactivity. It can also be ended by a system reset or by the
procedure in Paragraph 3-2.5.2.5.4.
Any initiating devices not selected for walk testing will report events as
normal. Any alarm reported during a walk test will end the walk-test
mode and cause the alarm report to be processed as described in
Paragraph 3-2.5.4.
