10.4 Walk Test
The PFC-7500/PFC-7501 panels provide a walk test feature that allows a single technician to test the protection devices
connected to zones on the system. To conduct the Walk Test:
From the RA-7630 Keypad
1. From the keypad, enter the code 8144. If the system is monitored and the communication type is set to DD, the
system sends a System Test Begin report to the central station. The keypad then displays WALK TEST for four
seconds followed by TRIPS: X X X END. The " X X X " represents the number of trips that occur during the
Walk Test.
2. Once in the Walk Test, you can go around and trip each protection device. As each device is tripped, the panel
sounds the alarm bells for two seconds and then performs an automatic Sensor Reset. Continue tripping devices
until the entire system has been tested. The trip counter on the keypad display increments by one each time a device
is opened or shorted
3. To end the test, press the Select key under END. The panel sends a System Test End to the central station and performs a
final Sensor Reset. At the end of the test, the keypad displays any zones that failed to trip. Below are two examples:
Keypad display: SOUTH SMOK –FAIL Keypad display: LOBBY HEAT –FAIL
From the RA-7692 LED Keypad
1. From the keypad, enter the code 8144. If monitored, the system sends a System Test Begin report to the central
station. The bottom row of zone LEDs (yellow) begin to pulse.
2. Once in the Walk Test, walk around and trip each protection device. As a device is tripped, the zone alarm LED on
the keypad turns on, the panel sounds the alarm bells for two seconds and the panel performs an automatic Sensor
Reset. The alarm LED stays on for the duration of the Walk Test.
Continue tripping devices until the entire system has been tested.
3. To end the test, press the RESET key and enter the user code or press COMMAND + 4 + 7. The panel sends a
System Test End to the central station.
