How to Do a Walk Test
Walk Test allows the user to test the entire fire alarm system. There are two kinds of Walk Test - Basic
and Advanced, described later in this section.
Before entering Walk Test, note the following:
• For each individual activation, the control panel sends “TEST Axx”(for alarm testing) or
TEST Txx (for trouble testing) to the History buffer, installed printers and CRT-2s so results
can be reviewed.
• Basic Walk Test, Silent – In order to keep the test silent, do not program any of the output
modules with “W” in the Walk Test field .
• Advanced Walk Test - This test overrides a setting of “
*” (silent) in the Walk Test field. All
activated outputs will sound until panel reset.
• The control panel provides a 1-hour timer for Walk Test mode. When the hour expires with no
activity, the control panel automatically returns to normal operation.
• Walk Test may be exited at any time by pressing the ESC key.
WARNING: Walk Test mode deactivates fire protection. Observe the following:
• Prior to Walk Test, secure all protected buildings, and notify the building owner/operator, fire
department, and other pertinent personnel that testing is in progress.
• Immediately after Walk Test is completed, notify the same people that testing is complete and
is restored to normal operation.
For information on programming Walk Test field selections, refer to “How to Modify an Addressable
Control Module Point” on page 24 or “How to Modify NAC and Panel Circuit Points” on page 25.
Basic Walk Test
When the tester activates an input during Basic Walk Test , all silenceable outputs mapped by CBE to
that input will activate. The activations are tracking; once the activation stimulus is removed, the input
will deactivate. Basic Walk Test may be audible or silent, depending on the Walk Test setting of
participating outputs. Program the Walk Test field for control modules, NAC, and Panel Circuits as
follows:
Enter Basic Walk Test in the following manner:
From the “Status Change Selection” screen, press the 6 key. The control panel
displays the “Walk Test” screen as shown below:
Note: The control panel cannot be put into Walk Test from an alarm condition.
