General
Before commencing testing, notify all areas where the alarm
sounds and off premises locations that receive alarm and trouble
transmissions that testing is in progress.
Records of all testing and maintenance shall be kept on the
protected premises for a period of at least five (5) years.
Required Tools:
• Slotted Screwdriver, Insulated
• Digital multimeter
• 1.1 kΩ 1 W resistor
• 12 inch (30.5 cm) jumper lead with alligator clips
• Panel Door Key
In addition, make sure you have the required system passwords.
If the system includes access control applications, you'll need a
construction card, or other valid access card.
A complete check of installed field wiring and devices should be
made at regular intervals, in accordance with NFPA 72 and ULC
524 requirements. This includes testing all alarm and supervisory
alarm initiating devices and circuits, and any off premise
connections.
Panel operation should be verified in the alarm, supervisory, and
trouble modes.
To ensure that the panel can be powered when primary power is
lost, the batteries should be periodically inspected, tested, and
replaced (as a minimum) every 4 years.
