General Product Statement
The RCM compliance label indicates that the supplier of the device asserts that it complies with all applicable
standards.
Intruder Detection Maintenance Routine
Integrated Control Technology recommends regular maintenance of the Protege system, including Protege
controllers, expander modules and other connected devices.
The periodic routine maintenance procedures outlined in this section accord with AS/NZS standards for intruder
detection systems:
⦁ AS/NZS 2201.1-2007 SECTION 5 - MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
⦁ AS/NZS 2201.1-2007 SECTION 5 - RECORDS AND REPORT
Copies of these standards are available from Standards New Zealand, and can be purchased online from
https://shop.standards.govt.nz.
Peripheral Devices
This section outlines specific routine maintenance procedures for Protege controllers and expander modules
which are used for intruder detection. It does not include specific instructions for peripheral devices connected to
the Protege system, such as motion detectors, smoke detectors and warning devices. Although many of these
peripheral devices will be operated as part of the maintenance procedures described below, this may not meet the
routine maintenance procedures recommended for those devices.
As a minimum, we recommend that you follow the AS/NZS 2201.1-2007 standards relating to:
⦁ Detection devices for internal use (AS/NZS 2201.3 Part 3)
⦁ Audible and visible alarm and warning devices
Testing Frequency
The maintenance procedures outlined below meet the requirements of AS/NZS 2201.1-2007, which specifies that
testing of the intruder detection system must be carried out at least once a year. However, the testing frequency
of detection devices, alarm warning devices and reporting operations should be determined according to the
needs of the particular installation and local body regulations.
For some clients or sites it may be prudent to perform more frequent testing to ensure the integrity of the system.
For example:
⦁ Sites which require a higher rate of security or are heavily affected by environmental conditions may choose to
have testing carried out more frequently.
⦁ Very large sites with hundreds of detection devices may prefer to arrange multiple testing rounds per year,
with a percentage of the devices tested in each round.
In contrast, sites where automated testing functions have been implemented may find that annual maintenance
visits are adequate.
