Walk Test Mode 
A walk test is performed in order to determine the lens coverage pattern of the 
detector – see Figure B.2. Walk Test mode cancels the delay time between 
detections, enabling you to perform an efficient walk test. 
To perform a Walk Test.
1.
Place the Mode jumper over pins 1 & 2.
2. Walk across the scope of the detector according to the detection pattern
selected.
3. Confirm that the LED activates and deactivates accordingly. Wait five
seconds after each detection before continuing the test.
4. After completing the walk test, remove the jumper and place it over one
pin for storage – see Mode Jumper Safeguard.
LED Indication 
The LED indicator is lit twice every time a transmission is made. To enable or 
disable LED indication, refer to Table 
B.4 below. 
Table B.4: LED Indication Settings 
The LED should only be disabled after successfully walk testing the 
detector. 
Mode Jumper Safeguard 
During normal operation, the Mode jumper should be placed over one pin for 
storage. When the mode jumper is placed over two pins, the detector is either in 
Radio or Walk Test Mode. As a precaution, these modes are limited to three 
minutes. After three minutes have expired, the detector switches back to normal 
operation. If this happens, you can reset a mode by removing and replacing the 
mode jumper.
