SYSTEM TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
SYSTEM TESTING
NOTE: Before any tests are conducted, the local Fire Department should be
notified.
1.) System testing and/or fire drills must be performed at the intervals
required by local fire authorities.
Where no local regulations exist, testing schedules for fire alarm systems
are specified in NFPA Standard.
2.) All system tests should be documented. A complete log of device testing
including the type of device, its location, the date of the test and the
operation should be maintained for the system.
3.) Devices should be tested in accordance with manufacturers' instructions.
4.) When testing has been completed all switches must be returned to their
normal position.
DO NOT LEAVE SWITCHES IN THE DISCONNECTED POSITION!
MAINTENANCE
1.) The 15220A or 15240A Fire Alarm System Control Unit does not
require periodic maintenance except that the unit should be kept clean
and dry.
2.) Sealed Lead Acid batteries should be replaced every four years or if the
voltage is low. The terminals should be checked for corrosion and
cleaned, if necessary. To check for low battery voltage, with the primary
power supply disconnected, operate the Fire Alarm System in alarm
(under full load) for five minutes. If the battery voltage is less than 24.0
volts, with the control unit in alarm, replace the battery set.
3.) Maintenance of other devices connected to the control unit should be
done in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions.
