Conducting a Walk-Test
The walk-test is an indispensable operation by which
you verify that all detectors function properly, without
disturbing the neighbors with loud sirens. The test
must be performed at least once a week, and
should include all detectors in all zones.
Before performing walk-test, all the detectors must
be in normal state. Normal state is achieved when no
motion is made for at least 2 minutes.
Note: During the test period, 24-hour zones will not
cause an alarm if violated, but a fire zone will
function normally.
A typical test will take place as follows:
A. Click
.
The display will read:
WALK TEST
B. Click the
OK
I
button, the display will prompt
you for your user code:
ENTER CODE
_ _ _ _
C. Enter your master user code. The siren will sound
for 2 seconds and the display will change to:
TESTING
D. Walk throughout the protected area and make
sure you trigger every detector with no exception
(move across the field of view of motion
detectors and open/close doors and windows).
Each time a detector is triggered:
• The “Happy Tune” will sound,
• The zone name and number will be displayed
briefly.
EXAMPLE 1: You triggered a motion detector in
the living room (zone 11). The display will show:
LIVING ROOM
Z11 VIOLATED
After 5 seconds the display will revert to:
TESTING
EXAMPLE 2: You opened a window in the guest
room (zone 13). The display will show:
GUEST ROOM

repeatedly. The display will show the test results,
zone after zone, in ascending numerical order.
For example:
GUEST ROOM
(alternating)
Z13 OK
or: “Z13 NOT OK” if there was no response
from Z13.
