Chapter 3: System operation

• Walk test will not start if a Remote AC Fail Trouble or Local AC Power Trouble event is
active.
• Walk test affects mainboard NACs only. Any addressable device configured for NAC
operation is not included in the walk test.
When you enter walk test mode:
• The Test LED flashes for a silent walk test and is steady for an audible walk test.
• Walk Test is displayed on the LCD. Walk Test is replaced with the device activation
message during the period the device is activated while in walk test mode.
• The panel enters a trouble state. There is no fire protection for the zone in walk test. If an
unselected zone or device goes into alarm or trouble, all programmed outputs operate as
programmed.
Zones and devices behave as follows during walk test:
• For alarm events, the appropriate panel and annunciator LEDs and buzzers turn on. In the
audible (NAC) test mode a four-second pulse sounds for NAC types: continuous
nonsilenceable, continuous silenceable, Genesis nonsilenceable, Genesis with audible
silence only, and Genesis with audible and visible silenceable on the audible devices. A
single 3-3-3 cycle sounds for NAC types: temporal nonsilenceable, temporal silenceable,
coder basic, coder continuous, coder 120spm, and coder temporal on the audible devices.
• For trouble events, the appropriate LEDs and the buzzers turn on. In the audible (NAC) test
mode a two-second pulse sounds on the audible devices.
• For ground fault events, the appropriate LEDs and the buzzers turn on. In the audible
(NAC) test mode, a two-second pulse sounds on the audible devices.
• All device activations are latched until the walk test is ended or the panel is reset. When the
walk test is ended, it takes approximately eight seconds for the devices to restore. If the
device being tested is in a zone and does not restore, the zone does not reset.
• If auxiliary power is resettable, the auxiliary power is interrupted while the zone is reset.
• Input zones programmed as waterflow with retard require 10 to 15 seconds of activation to
initiate the test signals.
• Devices programmed as alarm verify and not in test mode go directly into alarm if activated
(the alarm verification process is bypassed).
• Once a device is tested, restore the device. For example, if you are testing a pull station,
reset the pull station before testing the next device.
The panel terminates walk test if:
• The zone or device being tested remains inactive for 30 minutes
• The walk test is stopped by the user
