trouble condition. See Section 3, Trouble Conditions for required operations.
AUDIO Walk Test

The Audio Walk Test

announces zone numbers rather than pulsing zone numbers. To report a zone, the system
announces the words “TESTING ZONE” along with the digits of the zone number associated with that point. For
example, if zone 97 were being tested, the system would announce “TESTING ZONE NINE SEVEN”. (See Section
10 for Walk Test

Procedures.)
Walk Test

TROUBLE AUDIBLE
If a trouble is detected on a zone during the Walk Test

, the system will first announce the message “TESTING
ZONE” (along with the digits of the zone being tested), and then say “TROUBLE”. For example, if an open circuit
trouble is detected on zone 97, the system announces “TESTING ZONE NINE SEVEN, TROUBLE”.
Testing of signal circuit supervision and system troubles (e.g., earth ground trouble) was added in Version 3.01 of
the 4100 system software.
