Walk Test

! Note: The Walk Test task should only be performed by advanced operators.
Alternative Weekly Test

To carry out a statutory weekly fire alarm test, follow the steps listed in the “Fire Alarm Event”
simulation (page 10) of this course. Before carrying out a fire alarm test, ensure you carry out
the following:

1. Inform the Remote alarm receiving centre if the system is connected.

2. Inform occupants of the building of the impending test.
3. Take care to isolate any plant shutdown circuits if these are likely to effect the normal
operation of any process and/or in itself create a hazard.

Note: The test can be conducted by activating a call point using the supplied test key.
Removal of the test key will reset the call point allowing the system to be reset on
completion of the test. Revisit steps 1, 2 and 3 above if any of these operations has been
implemented.
