8.4.9 Conduct a Walk Test
1. From the Main Menu, press 1 for System Tests.
2. Select 3 for Walk Test-No Rpt. The LCD will display “WALK TEST STOPPED” on Line 1 and “ENTER =
start test” on Line 3. If you select this option, central station reporting will be disabled while the test is in
progress.
Select 4 for Walk Test-with Rpt. The LCD will display “WALK TEST STOPPED” on Line 1 and “ENTER
= start test” on Line 3. If you select this option, central station reporting will occur as normal during the walk
test.
The panel generates a TEST report to the central station when the walk test begins. During a walk test, the
panel’s normal fire alarm function is completely disabled, placing the panel in a local trouble condition. All
zones respond as 1-Count zones (respond when a single detector is in alarm) during a walk test. Each alarm
initiated during the walk test will be reported and stored in the event history buffer.
3. Enter the number of seconds you want the notification appliance circuits to sound. From 6 to 180 seconds.
4. Press ENTER to end the walk test. The system will reset. The panel will send a “TEST RESTORE” report to
the central station.
If you do not end the walk test manually within four hours, it will end automatically. If an alarm or pre-alarm
condition is occurring in the system, you will not be able to enter the walk test.
Note: the panel does not do a full 30 second reset on resettable power outputs. As soon as the device is back to
normal, the panel is ready to go to the next device.
8.4.10 Conduct a Dialer Test
1. From the Main Menu, press 3 for System Tests.
2. Select 5 for Dialer Test. The screen will display “Manual dialer test started”. When the test is completed, you
will be returned to the .
8.4.11 Silence alarms or troubles
Press SILENCE and enter your code or rotate the key at the prompt. If an external silence switch has been
installed, activating the switch will silence alarms or troubles. If you are already using system menus when you
press SILENCE, you will not need to enter your code or rotate the key.
Note: Alarm and trouble signals that have been silenced but the detector remains un-restored will un-silence
every 24 hours until it is restored.
8.4.12 Reset alarms
Press RESET and enter your code or rotate the key at the prompt. If an external reset switch has been installed,
activating the switch will reset alarms. If you are already using system menus when you press RESET , you will
not need to enter your code or rotate the key.
8.4.13 Check Detector Sensitivity Through Point Status
The control panel constantly monitors smoke detectors to ensure that sensitivity levels are in compliance with
NFPA 72.
If sensitivity for a detector is not in compliance, the panel goes into trouble, generating a CAL TRBLE condition.
A detector enters a CAL MAINT state to indicate that it is approaching an out of compliance condition (but is
currently still in compliance).
IMPORTANT!
If any alarm verification zones are being used, the user will be asked if they wish to disable alarm
verification during walk test. This occurs for either walk test option.
