9.4.1 WALK TEST ZONE
• Function : This option allows the operator to test the loop devices within a single zone without the need to
return to the control panel to silence and reset the fire event. When a device is tested the panel
activates the ‘alarm outputs’ that are programmed for the device under test for a predetermined
period (set by the engineer during commissioning), then the ‘alarm outputs’ are turned off. Note
that the rest of the system will continue to operate as a standard fire alarm system.
• Outputs : Note that only the alarm outputs on the node on which the device is activated will sound (assuming
that the engineer option to disable outputs during test is not in use).
• Selecting Option : To select this option press the ‘1’ key while in the ‘Walk test’ menu.
• Select a zone : The menu will accept a zone number between 1 and 800 inclusive. Zones greater than 100
are only used on an expanded system. Once a zone has been selected the system checks
whether this zone is already in test mode and either offers the opportunity to test the
selected zone as shown below or cancels the zone testing immediately. It can cancel
immediately because only one zone at a time is permitted to be tested.
• Zone walk test : To confirm the zone test mode press the ‘Enter’ key.
• Exiting Option : To cancel the zone disablement press the ‘Esc’ key.
