5.9 System Test Descriptions
This section describes the walk and dialer tests and dialer reset operation in detail. See Section
5.8 for instructions about how to run the tests.
5.9.1 Walk Test
The 4821/4820 can perform two types of walk tests, 1) walk test with report and 2) walk test
without report.
• When a Walk Test without Report is executed, central station reporting is disabled. The
system reports a “Test Start” event, but no alarms or other events will be reported until the
end of the walk test.
• When a Walk Test with Report is executed, central station reporting continues to operate
normally according to the individual account set up.
During a walk test, the audio alarm shutdown is defaulted to two seconds. This allows the
installer to arm the panel and then trip each zone in turn. As each zone is tripped, the speaker
output will sound for two seconds and then shut down. This is true for all zones, including
those that have been programmed not to allow bell shutdown. All zones will be allowed to
restore two seconds after they go into alarm.
The Walk Test times out after 15 minutes. When the test is being conducted, the message
WALK TEST ACTIVE
___ sec to go
displays on the LCD. The second line indicates the number of seconds before timeout occurs.
You can end the walk test manually by selecting option 2 “End Walk Test” from the Walk
Test menu.
5.9.2 Dialer Test
When the dialer test executes, a single test report is sent to each account that has been pro-
grammed as Must Report for test events.
5.9.3 Dialer Reset
When a dialer reset is conducted, all reporting is immediately aborted. All events (including
those that have not yet been reported) are cleared. The dialer remains enabled and will report
any events that occur after the reset.
