WalkTest
WalkTest allows one person to test the functionality of the
panel’s devices. Once the panel is placed into WalkTest
mode, you can test the following:
• Initiating Device Alarm Sensing. To test each detector’s
alarm capability, use a pole magnet or canned smoke to
activate the initiating device. If the device is functioning
correctly, one of two things happen:
- If the WalkTest signaling option is set to SIG, the
panel pulses the device’s zone number on the
panel’s NACs. After 15 seconds the panel drops
power to the zone, resetting the activated device.
Subsequently activating another initiating device
on the same zone sounds a double pulse on the
NAC.
- If the WalkTest signaling option is set to SIL, the
panel logs the alarm activation to the ALOG (alarm
log). Use the History Logs menu option to view the
ALOG. Use the Reports menu option to print a
copy of the ALOG.
• Initiating Device Trouble Sensing. To test the panel’s
ability to sense a trouble condition for each initiating
device, disconnect one of the IDC wires at the detector.
If the panel senses the trouble condition correctly, one
of two things happen:
- If the WalkTest signaling option is set to SIG, the
panel activates the panel’s NACs for four seconds.
- If the WalkTest signaling option is set to SIL, the
panel logs the trouble in the TLOG (trouble log).
Use the History Logs menu option to view the
TLOG. Use the Reports menu option to print a copy
of the TLOG.
• Earth Ground Sensing. To test the panel’s ability to
detect an Earth Ground, short one of the panel’s circuits
to Earth. If the panel senses the trouble condition cor-
rectly, one of two things happen:
- If the WalkTest signaling option is set to SIG, the
panel activates the panel’s NACs for four seconds.
- If the WalkTest signaling option is set to SIL, the
panel logs the trouble in the TLOG (trouble log).
Use the History Logs menu option to view the
TLOG. Use the Reports menu option to print a copy
of the TLOG.
• NAC Trouble Sensing. To test the panel’s ability to
sense a trouble condition for each NAC, disconnect one
of the NAC wires at the panel. If the panel senses the
trouble condition correctly, one of two things happen:
- If the WalkTest signaling option is set to SIG, the
panel activates the panel’s NACs for four seconds.
- If the WalkTest signaling option is set to SIL, the
panel logs the trouble in the TLOG (trouble log).
Use the History Logs menu option to view the
TLOG. Use the Reports menu option to print a copy
of the TLOG.
Setting WalkTest Options
WalkTest options are set via the WalkTest entry at the main
menu. You must be logged in at either Access Level 3 or 4 to
set the WalkTest options.

HW Reset
The Hardware Reset is context sen-
sitive. If the reset is performed with
an alarm in the system, the alarms
are allowed to reset. If there are no
alarms present, a HW reset (power
is dropped to all zones for 15 sec-
onds) is performed. The hardware
reset will attempt to clear any
latched troubles.
CLR Tally/TBL
This option clears the alarm verifica-
tion tallies for all IDCs in the system.
Typically this is only done when an
Alarm Verification Tally Limit trouble
occurs. The Alarm Verification Tally
Limit trouble occurs if an IDC pro-
grammed for alarm verification starts
the verification cycle, but does not
verify 10 times.
