Zone coding may be disabled for each of the eight Walk Test™ groups, Group 0
through Group 7, using the interface panel’s display. When zone coding is disabled
(<F3> key to ZERO), a “0” code is always used, even for the first alarm. This
method of testing is more appropriate for maintenance testing, once all wiring is
verified.
When a control point is pulsed by Walk Test™, it is done without affecting the
priority of that point regardless of its present value. This guarantees that Walk
Test™ does not interfere with any required SMPL (software) operations during a real
alarm.
MAPNET II
®
monitor devices sound the zone code, with the first digit being the
channel number, followed by the device’s address number. Example: M1-1 sounds
a 1,1 code. M4-123 sounds a 4, 1, 2, 3 code. MAPNET II
®
signal devices cannot
annunciate codes.
7.5 SILENT Walk Test™
The control points to be activated (pulsed) during Walk Test™ are determined by the
contents of the control lists which are configured when programmed. Several
options are available when configuring a silent Walk Test™ control list. The first
option is to NOT put any audible signals into the control list. The second option is to
disable the audible control points from the front panel, one at a time. The last option
is to use the “NO<sig” option (controlled by the <F4> key) when in the Walk Test™
menu. If this last option is selected, none of the points in the control list will code
(see “Sig/No Sig”).
7.6 ENTERING Walk Test™ MODE
Walk Test™ is enabled through the interface panel’s alphanumeric LCD (Liquid
Crystal Display). Walk Test™ is passcode protected. The Walk Test™ menu will not
appear unless the operator is at the proper access level. To enter one of these
levels, press the menu key, select the “Change Access Level” option, press the
<F1> key to log in, and then type in the correct passcode for the level you desire.
Select the “Enable Walk Test™” option on the Main Menu, and press the ENTER
key. Then use the following FUNCTION KEYS (<F1> through <F4>) to select the
various Walk Test™ options.
• <F1> Key - Enables/disables the Walk Test™ group. Press this key to enter
Walk Test™ for the specified group. Press the key again to exit
Walk Test™.
• <F2> Key - Enables/disables the logging of events occurring during Walk
Test™. When selected, all abnormal conditions are recorded in
the historical fault log.
