7 Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and inspection work on security systems are governed in Germany by the
regulations of DIN VDE 0833; these regulations stipulate reference to the manufacturer's
instructions for maintenance intervals.
– Maintenance and inspection work should be carried out regularly and by trained
personnel.
– BOSCH ST recommends a functional and visual inspection at least once a year.
– FCP-OC320/FCP-OC320-R470
Multisensor detectors with C sensors must be exchanged every 5 years.
An FCP-OC320 and FCP-OC320-R470 will deactivate its C sensor after 5 years of
operation due to the gas sensor's limited life cycle. The detector continues to function as
an O detector.
Depending on the system, there may be no message to the control panel, and the
deactivation of the C sensor is only noticed when the detector is tested. The FCP-OC320/
FCP-OC320-R470 should therefore be exchanged promptly before 5 years of operation
has elapsed.
– Optical smoke detectors should, depending on the environmental conditions, be cleaned
and exchanged regularly.
