54. ENGINEER WALK TEST
Introduction
The engineer walk test allows testing of all zones that
are configured for an engineering walk test in selected
area/s. These areas will be tested by a technician/engineer. This test is independent to the
zone’s configured test type and is only run manually from a new installer menu item.
Zones will be configured to be included in the engineer walk test (See 19.1.33, Engineer
walk test) The default will be “YES” (include in engineer walk test).
A technician/engineer starts the engineer walk test from menu 54. The area/s DO NOT need
to be armed/disarmed, before a new test is started. The test can be initiated whenever
needed.
Procedure
When starting the engineer walk test the user will be prompted to select area/s to test by the
display shown below. Initially no areas are selected and the top line of the display would be
blank.
The user selects an area by entering the area number followed by the Enter key. Areas
selected are displayed as shown on the display below. Areas will be masked so that only
areas that are available for the test are those that both the user and RAS have access to. If
a user enters an area that is not available the RAS buzzer will sound a warning (several
short beeps) and the area will not be displayed in the selected list.
The user may select all available areas by pressing the “0” key followed by the Enter key.
Pressing Clear will cause the test to be aborted and the user will return to the installer menu.
If aborted at this stage, no event (test started, failed, etc) will be logged and no test event
flag will be set.
Press Enter (without an area number) to start the test.
When the walk test starts, a new walk test event flag will be activated to allow detectors to
be configured to automatically go into walk test and the display shown below indicates all
zones to be tested. If the number of zones to test exceeds the number that the display can
show, then “,.” is displayed at the end of the list. If so, the user can see all zones to test by
viewing name of each zone individually as is described below.
Each zone that transitions from sealed to unsealed and then back to sealed will be marked
as tested. While the test is running, the displayed list of untested zones updates
automatically without user action so that zones disappear from the displayed list as they are
tested.
While the test is running, the user may enter the number of an untested zone followed by
the Enter key to display that zone’s name as shown below. Here the user may press NEXT
(down arrow) to scroll through the names untested zones, or press Enter to return to the
numeric list of untested zones shown above.
The test is cancelled if either the “0” or Clear or key is pressed. There is also a maximum
time limit on the test, Disarm Test time in installer menu 19,6. The test fails if this timer
expires. In either case, the ‘Test not completed’ display shown below will be displayed. A
message is sent to the central station to indicate test failed, see events logged table below.
