Description

C-TEC CFP Walk Test Function Manual

The CFP Walk Test Function Manual documents the single-engineer commissioning and weekly testing mode on the C-TEC CFP conventional fire alarm panel. Walk test allows one engineer to test detectors and call points across the building without needing a second person at the panel for reset.

What the manual covers

• Entering walk test mode on the CFP
• Selecting which zones to include in the walk test
• Detector and MCP test workflow
• Sounder behaviour during walk test (brief activation)
• Auto-reset after each test event
• Exiting walk test and returning to normal monitoring
• Recording walk test results for the BS 5839-1 logbook

Who should use this manual

This manual is for fire alarm engineers, service technicians and competent duty holders performing weekly user tests, monthly inspections, or annual servicing. The walk test mode is one of the highest-frequency engineering features used on a CFP and is a routine part of BS 5839-1 compliance.

Walk test best practice

Walk testing should be carried out at a planned time, with building occupants notified that brief sounder activations are routine maintenance. The CFP’s walk test mode minimises sounder duration to avoid disruption while still confirming detector and call point operation.
