Selecting a Standard or Silent Walk Test requires that you program the Walk Test
feature for control modules, NAC, and Panel Circuits as follows:
WARNING: Walk Test mode can deactivate fire protection. Make sure to do the
following for a Walk Test:
• Before doing a Walk Test, make sure to secure all protected buildings, and
notify the building owner/operator, fire department, and other persons that
testing is in progress.
• When finished doing a Walk Test, exit Walk Test mode immediately and notify
the building owner/operator, fire department, and other persons that testing is
complete and is restored to normal operation.

of tests for a detector or input device with this address)
• Turn on the System Trouble LED
