Before power-up
¨
With the exception of the mains cable ensure the
following external cables are left disconnected at this
stage of commissioning:
•
all loop circuits
•
clean contacts
•
auxiliary circuits
•
master alarm circuits, only the end-of-line resistor
(22K Ohm) should be fitted to the terminals to
inhibit a master alarm circuit fault indication.
•
RS232/RS485
"
A networked system is commissioned after all
the individual standalone systems are fully
commissioned.
¨
Ensure all cards are securely fitted into their
appropriate slots on the backplane.
¨
Ensure all ribbon cables are securely fitted into their
respective sockets.
Battery information
"
The panel makes use of sealed lead acid type
batteries which can have a useful life of up to
5 years from the date of manufacture. It is strongly
recommended that batteries are replaced after 4 years of
use. Batteries must be disposed of as per
recommendation made by battery manufacturer.
&
Always use the recommended
replacement battery. As there is a risk of an
explosion if incorrect batteries are used.
Mains supply
&
Fire alarm system products are NOT
designed to be powered from IT Power systems.
"
All mains powered equipment must be
earthed.
Ensure the mains supply cable enters the equipment via a
dedicated cable entry point, which is located adjacent to the
mains terminal block and is also segregated from any loop wiring.
¨
Mains supply to any fire alarm control and indicating
equipment must be via an unswitched 5A fused spur
unit. A disconnect device must be provided to
disconnect both poles and must have a minimum gap
of 3mm. The Disconnect device should be available as
part of the building installation and must be easily
accessible after installation is complete.
¨
The fused spur isolator cover should be marked:
FIRE ALARM - DO NOT SWITCH OFF
&
Hazardous voltage remains after
operation of a protection fuse. Take appropriate
action to guard against the risk of equipment having
exposed live mains supply.
