Walk Test
The Datalog 3 system can manage the site’s zone testing by assisting with walk test procedures.
The User Setup screen allows the user to define the period of days the system will allow a zone to
operate without an alarm being received from that zone. Once that period expires, the system will
generate an alarm to annunciate that a walk test is required.

In addition the user can also set the number of days before the walk test alarm occurs that the system
should issue a warning message.
should issue a warning message.
Walk Test Status can be viewed on the Map Viewer Screen by setting the ‘Options’ radio button to
‘Virtual Walk Test’. The list at the bottom of the screen will switch from showing the zone list to showing
zones requiring a Walk Test. The default Walk Test list shows any zones that are more than I day past
the Walk Test alarm period. This list can be filtered further by increasing the days past the Walk Test
alarm period. To do this, remove the tick from the ‘Default 1 Day’ check box in the Walk Test Options
box, and entering the number of days in the ‘Days’ field

Walk test levels can also be individually tailored to meet a client’s specific requirement. If a particular
zone is given its own unique threshold value for either the 'Warning' or 'Alarm' level, then user settable
thresholds will not apply to this zone. Therefore it is possible to give every zone on the system its own
set of walk test thresholds independent of the user settable value. This configuration has to be carried
out by Cortech Developments.
