WALK TEST MODE
WALK
TEST
This function will place the panel into "walk test" mode. Walk test mode is used for the on-site testing of
detector zones. This mode cannot be selected if any zone(s) is in alarm. Entry to walk test mode will be
acknowledged by three beeps and the LCD will display "WALK TEST MODE".
For the duration of walk test mode, all zones are changed to output configuration #2 (indicate and ring bells
only) and all zones are set to type #1 (standard latching, 2 second).
If the bells are not required to ring during walk test, simply press the "EXT BELL ISOLATE" key once. The EXT
BELL ISOLATE LED will illuminate to verify that the bells have been isolated.
Any alarm signal from detectors etc. will be received by the panel on its appropriate zone. The panel will beep
to acknowledge receipt of the alarm and indicate the alarm by illuminating the appropriate alarm LED for 4
seconds (the bells will also ring for a 3 second period unless previously isolated).
The zone and detector will then be automatically reset for 15 seconds
If the optional printer is connected, the alarm will be printed out as it is received. This can eliminate the need
for a second serviceman to record zone numbers during walk test and the printout can be retained for
verification at a later date.
Pressing any key will terminate the walk test mode and return the panel back to normal operation, restoring all
zone types and output configurations also ensuring that bell and ancillary outputs are de-isolated. The bells will
give three pulses of 1 second each to warn any testers still in the building that walk test mode has been
terminated.
Failure to receive any alarms or keystrokes within a 15 minutes period will result in the panel automatically
exiting walk test mode and returning back to normal as follows:
Bell outputs to be de-isolated.
Ancillary outputs to be de-isolated.
Bell will sound 3 times, each of 1-second duration.
Exit from walk test mode.
Zone types and output configurations restored
ACF ISOLATE
ACF
ISOL
Depressing the "ACF ISOLATE" key will isolate the ACF (Ancillary output) and the Door Holder Output. The
ACF isolated LED will illuminate and the output will not operate until de-isolated. Pressing "ACF ISOLATE" for
a second time will de-isolate the output.
If the ancillary output has already been tripped and is programmed as latching, isolating the ACF will not affect
the existing ancillary output. If the ACF is isolated prior to the alarm, it will prevent the ancillary output from
tripping. This does not apply to the Door Holder output.
ACF RESET
ACF
RESET
Resetting of the ancillary output (ACF) is only required if the ancillary output was programmed as latching.
The ancillary alarm will remain latched until manually reset. Pressing the "ACF RESET" button will extinguish
the 'ACF Activated' LED and de-energise the ancillary output. Pressing "ACF RESET" when the ACF is not
tripped will have no effect.
