Walktest
4.23 Walktest
Walktest is a feature which allows one person to test the fire alarm system. An audible walktest will momentarily sound the Notification
Appliance Circuits in the building and store the walktest information in a file at the panel. A silent walktest will not sound the NACs but will
store the walktest information in a file which can be viewed at the panel. Disabled NAC devices will not activate during walktest.
Alarm/Shorted Condition
When in audible Walktest, the panel responds to each new alarm and activates its programmed control outputs for four seconds, if those out-
puts have been programmed for silenceable activation. It also stores each alarm in the walktest history file which can be sent to an optional
printer. The stored display will be the same as if the device actually activated except the colon (:) in the time stamp is replaced with an aster-
isk (*).
Note that if the system under test includes one or more enabled monitor modules, the following may apply:
If the monitor module is used for a supervised, 2-wire smoke zone, alarming any monitor module in the system will result in the
activation of programmed control outputs for an additional eight seconds or less. This is caused by the temporary removal of 24 VDC
resettable power from the monitor module. The monitor module reports this loss of power as an open condition in addition to the alarm
condition.
Open Condition
Addressable devices are monitored for fault conditions during Walktest mode. When a new trouble condition occurs, the FACP will activate
all NACs and control modules programmed for Walktest and mapped to the faulty device, then shut them off after eight seconds.
While in Walktest, the trouble relay is activated and the system Trouble LED flashes (as in all of the Program and status change operations).
The alarm relay is not activated.
4.24 Read Status
Read Status functions do not require a password. The control panel will continue to provide fire protection while in Read Status mode. This
mode can be entered while the control panel is in alarm or trouble. If a new alarm or trouble occurs during these functions, the Read Status is
exited to prevent confusion.
