5.4 As-Installed Diagrams and Installer's Statement
An as-installed diagram of the wiring layout of the complete installation, including the
positions of the Smoke Alarms and zone facilities, should be provided before a final
inspection is made.
5.5 Log Book
A log should be kept by the person on-site responsible for the fire alarm system. The
responsible person's name and contact details should be kept at the RFP. This log
shall include provision for recording all known alarms (genuine, false, practice, or test),
and all faults and disconnections. All alarms and tests recorded shall remain in the log
and shall be available at all times. A separate section of the owners manual or book
shall be provided to record all service/maintenance details.
5.6 Maintenance
For the continuous reliability of the system, provision shall be made for the regular
maintenance of the installation.
A properly designed and installed detection system offers effective life and property
protection. However, for ongoing reliability the system must be maintained at its peak
performance. A poorly maintained system can lead to nuisance alarms or complete
system failure.
Under these conditions, you have wasted your initial investment and do not have the
level of protection needed.
1. It is recommended that the owner test each smoke alarm every month.
The panel alarm test should also be performed.
2. It is also recommended that each 6 months a full system test be performed by
a suitably qualified servicing company. Battery and power supply voltages
should be checked and adjusted, if necessary, at this time.
