14.6 Setting a Zone Into Walk Test Mode
The 6100 allows a single zone at a time to be set to walk test mode. In walk test mode a loop device can be
functionally tested and, after a predetermined time, the 6100 will automatically reset.
1. Enter the user code supplied with the system and press the
¿
key to access the menus.
2. Using the ◄ and ► keys navigate to the ZONE OPTIONS menu and press the
¿
key to access the
menu (Figure 14.7).
3. Using the ◄ and ► keys select the desired zone to be tested.
4. Using the ▲ and ▼ keys move the cursor to the TESTING option and set testing to ON or OFF using
the ◄ and ► keys.
5. When all zone programming has been finished press the
¿
key to return to the main menu.
The zone in walk test mode will illuminate the global test indicator, along with the specific zone indicator.
Activations from a zone programmed into walk test mode will not activate the global fire
contacts or Fire Link output. Remember to take the zone out of walk test mode when testing
has been completed.
14.7 Disabling a Zone
The 6100 allows zones to be disabled. This means that faults and activation’s are inhibited. Fires on a disabled
zone will not be detected.
1. Enter the user code supplied with the system and press the
¿
key to access the menus.
2. Using the ◄ and ► keys navigate to the ZONE OPTIONS menu and press the
¿
key to access the
menu (Figure 14.7).
3. Using the ◄ and ► keys select the desired zone to be disabled.
4. Using the ▲ and ▼ keys move the cursor to the DISABLED option and using the ◄ and ► keys set
to ON ( disabled ) or OFF ( not disabled ).
5. Press the
¿
key to return to the main menu.
A zone disablement will illuminate the global disablement indicator, along with the specific zone indicator.
It is possible that loop devices in a zone that is about to be normalised ( removed from
disablement ) may be in alarm. If this is the case the 6100 will display a warning screen then
automatically reset.
