WALK TEST ?
COMMAND 44
Walk Test
Description
Use this function to test command centers, detection
devices, and sounders (both interior and exterior) to be
certain they function properly. You can review untested
points at your command center to help pin-point any
problems.
You cannot arm your system while in the walk test
mode, and no alarm reports are sent to your security
company unless a 24-hour point is activated (such as
fire or panic).
Upon initiation, the walk test will test the burglary bell
pattern on the bell output and ring the command center
burglary bell for 2 seconds. The AC will be disabled
for 4 minutes in order to test the system’s battery
power. If the battery cannot maintain the system for the
4 minute period, the command center will appear to go
dead. If this happens, contact your security company.
At the end of the 4 minute period, AC is returned to the
system and the panel restores. To test individual
44
detection devices, simply activate sensors and open
protected doors and windows one-at-a-time. As each
detection device is faulted, the Command Center emits
a brief tone and the display indicates for 60 seconds that
the point has been tested. This verifies that each
detection device is working properly.
Using Walk Test:
1. Ensure your command center shows idle disarmed
text.
2. Press the COMMAND bar. The display shows
SYSTEM COMMAND.
3. Press the 4 key, followed by the 4 key.
Note: If you prefer, you may use the Command Menu
in place of steps 2 and 3 to initiate this function. Press
the MENU key to enter the Command Menu, then press
NEXT repeatedly until you reach the WALK TEST ?
prompt. Press ENT.
