PMI OPERATION MANUAL | CHAPTER 3
MAINTENANCE MODE3-16
WALKTEST A Walktest of the FireFinder-XLS System enables a qualified technician to test the
operation of a specific portion of input points on a system while allowing the
remainder of the system to function normally. A Walktest can be performed by Group
(Geographic view) or by DLC/SIM/HZM/CDC (Physical view). Walktest events are
annunciated on the PMI and logged into the Walktest Log. Testing can be silent or
with audible feedback on all input devices on a DLC module, SIM inputs, HZM
zones, and CDC zones. The following device usages can be walktested:

A device placed in Walktest is disconnected from its usual functions. Alarm causing
devices in Walktest do NOT cause alarms until the Walktest is disabled or has timed out.
A Walktest cannot be enabled if an Alarm or Supervisory exists in the system.
Suggested Procedure In order to reduce the chance of problems, the following procedure must be followed
before performing the Walktest.
1. Inform the person in charge of the FireFinder-XLS System that a Walktest is
to be performed and that part or all (if there is only one DLC) of the fire
detection system will be disabled.
It is strongly advised (and may be required) to notify the fire department of the test.
2. Obtain a printout of the device types and custom messages for the groups
or modules to be walktested by using the FireFinder-XLS Report menu.
a. Press the menu button.
b. The FireFinder tree structure screen displays.
c. If you wish to Walktest by Groups, go to the Geographic View (GEO). If you
wish to Walktest by DLC, SIM, HZM or CDC, go to the Physical View (PHY).
d. In Geographic View, drill down to the group you plan to test. In Physical
View, drill down to the DLC, SIM, HZM or CDC you plan to test.
e. Press the Configuration soft key. Press Cust Msg on the touch screen.
Press the Settings soft key and select All on the touch screen, then
press the View soft key. Press the Print soft key to print out the report.
f. Print out the Cust Msg report for all groups/DLCs/SIMs/HZMs/CDCs to
be Walktested.
3. Review the list(s) with the person in charge of the fire protection equipment
to ensure that the custom messages provide adequate information for
locating and testing the devices in question.
