Figure 38 Walk test active
The activation of any initiating circuit that has been selected for a walk test will cause the
Audible Indicating Circuits (not Strobes) to activate briefly for a number of short bursts
corresponding to the selected circuit number. If the first selected circuit is activated, the
indication circuits will sound for one burst. If the second selected circuit is activated, the
indication circuits will sound for two bursts, and so on. This means that if, for example, circuits
1, 3 and 5 were selected for the walk test, the indicating circuits would sound with one, two
and three bursts respectively. The burst interval is half a second ON and half a second OFF.
After the sounding pattern has been sent to the indicating circuits, the initiating circuit is reset
and tested again. If it is still active (in alarm) the pattern will be re-sent. Trouble on any
initiating circuit selected for the walk test activates the indicating circuits continuously for five
seconds. Activation of a circuit will also cause the alarm count to increase while the trouble on
the initiating circuit will cause the trouble count to increase.
Alarm Verification and Water flow Alarm Retard Operations are disabled on circuits being walk
tested. All circuits not selected for the walk test continue to function normally. If a circuit was
disconnected before the walk-test mode was entered and is not selected for the walk-test, it
remains disconnected while the walk test is active. Walk test operation is disabled if the Fire
Alarm Control Panel is in alarm or goes into alarm while the walk test is active.

maintenance test is designed to test the devices on the i

zone. If there is noise on the
line or if the device is too far away from the panel, the devices may not respond to the panel
Note: If a UDACT is used with the system, all walk-test events will be reported to the
monitoring agency. The monitoring agency should be instructed to ignore
reported events during the walk-test.
IF THERE IS NO ACTIVITY FOR ONE HOUR, THE SYSTEM WILL RETURN
TO NORMAL OPERATION.
