Testing Monitored Sensors
(Performing a Walk Test)
A Walk Test allows you to test specific
sensors (protection points) in the system, to
ensure that they are functioning properly.
A walk test can be done by users with "System Test"
authority.
A walk test must be completed within 15 minutes.
Emergency points (i.e. smoke, fire alarm, panic, etc.)
on a Monitored system, display as Armed and should
not
be tested during a Walk Test. The monitoring
station must be notified if these points will be tested.
UL Listed Systems: Fire sensors must be tested
once per week for UL listed systems.
When tested successfully, Emergency points will
indicate PASS and Armed will change to Alarm.
"Pass" indicates that an intrusion point is functioning
correctly (i.e. the sensor is operating properly), while
"Fail" indicates that a problem may exist with that
point or that the point was not tripped.
All points except Emergency points may be
bypassed during the Review for convenience.
Restore any bypassed points before turning
protection on or they will reduces system security.
