14. HOW TO TEST/WALK-TEST
Function: To test whether the alarm device is in normal status. Under
test/walk-test mode, an alarm will be triggered when there is an alarm
event while the interlocking equipment will not be activated. Make sure the
controller is back to normal after the test.
Difference between test and walk-test:
Test: Fire alarms cannot reset automatically under test mode. Controller
need to be resumed back to normal status by manual reset.
Walk-test: Controller can resume back to normal status automatically after
the preset walk-test time (which can be set by editing the
controller parameters).
Steps to test/walk-test:
1. Press “Menu” to browse the main menu (Fig. 14-1).
Main menu displayed.
2. Press “→” to select “Brow” submenu (Fig. 14-2). Press “↓” to select “All”,
then press “OK” to display the tree diagram (Fig. 14-3). Search down level
by level through stations, lines and points until you find the equipment you
are looking for.
3. Press “→” to pop out the shortcut menu (Fig.14-4). Use “↓” to select
“Test/Walk-Test” and press “OK” to test the selected equipment.
How to restore to normal: two ways
The first way: the same as the first 2 steps to conduct a test/walk-test. The only
difference is that select “Restore” instead of “Test/Walk-Test” in step 3.
The second way: It’s easier to find the tested equipment through real-time
test/walk-test query (see real-time query). Press “→” to pop out the
shortcut menu (Fig. 14-5) and press “↓” to select “Restore”, then press
“OK” to restore the selected equipment.
Test/walk-test indicator turns off when all the tested equipments are
restored to normal.
