30. Check that the Fire Alarm Interface is operating correctly.
a. Check that all trigger control lines are monitored and indicating OK at the fire alarm system if
sounder circuits are used.
b. If a Loop Interface Card is used confirm that the VAR8 is not reporting any communications faults.
c. Check that the PAVA fault o/p (if used) is connected to the fire alarm system and indicating correctly
in both ‘fault’ and ‘clear’ states.
d. Operate the Alert function from the fire alarm and check for correct message broadcast to all zones.
Check audio quality and level in all (or selected) areas. Note the SPL for information only.
e. Clear the Alert function at the fire alarm and check that message broadcast stops.
f. Operate the Evacuate function from the fire alarm and check for correct message broadcast to all
zones. Check audio quality and level in all (or selected) areas. Note the SPL for information only.
g. Clear the Evacuate function at the fire alarm and check that message broadcast stops.
L
At this stage, if the network is not running, then the system will play local ‘fallback’ DVAs.
