Abstract

The present invention provides a method and system of walk through testing a fire alarm system without disrupting the building occupants. A communications channel is setup between a control panel and a single human tester. The tester then triggers an alarm or trouble condition in a device. The control panel detects the address of the device and automatically returns to the tester, over the communications channel, a label indicating the location of the device.
