Conducting a lamp test

Starting and stopping a walk test
A walk test lets you test individual zones or devices without having to create an actual alarm
condition. You can conduct a walk test in silent or audible mode. In silent mode, the audible
devices (NACs) do not sound. In audible mode, only the panel onboard NACs activate.
Addressable devices configured for use as a NAC are not affected.
Zones should be placed in walk test one at a time. This allows the balance of the system to
remain in service. When a device is activated for test, it remains active throughout the test and
does not restore until the walk test is ended. When the walk test is ended, all of the tested
devices restore.
Note: Walk test does not operate when the panel has an active alarm event.
When you enter walk test mode:
The Test LED is steady for an audible walk test and flashes for a silent 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.
