5. Maintenance
5.1 Daily Testing
To be conducted by the Premises Management.
• Check that the panel shows no fire or fault indications.
• If there are any fault conditions indicated then refer to the
“Status Indications” on page 8 to identify the fault.
5.2 Weekly Testing
To be conducted by the Premises Management.
•
Each week perform a Lamp Test to check that all visual and
audible indicators on the panel are functioning correctly
(refer to the “Lamp Test” on page 25).
•
Each week a different zone should be tested. Testing with
a manual call point is the simplest method as these can be
easily triggered with the key provided. Testing with a fire
detection device is more complex as it requires specialist
equipment and may not be possible for all premises. At a
minimum a different manual call point should be tested
each week.
•
Place the zone to be tested into test mode using the
Individual Zone Test (refer to page 25 for more details)
•
Record the weekly test results in the log book.
5.3 Quarterly Testing
To be conducted by the Competent Person.

corrective actions had been taken.

is capable of supplying the fire alarm devices by operating a
call point.
