Recommended Routine Maintenance Procedures
Preliminary Procedures
Task Frequency Description
Notify the alarm
monitoring company
(place account 'on
test')
As required
prior to start of
maintenance
routine
If the system is monitored, the monitoring company must be notified
before any testing begins (commonly referred to as placing the
system 'on test').
In most circumstances you must be authorized to perform this task.
The monitoring company may request a Technician or 'voice' code to
identify you and the company that you represent.
Notify personnel on
the premises
As required
prior to start of
maintenance
routine
Prior to any test that may have an impact on personnel such as testing
inputs or warning devices, ensure that all affected staff members are
given any necessary notification, warning or instructions.
On Site Maintenance Procedures
Task Frequency Description
Check the
equipment
schedule
and/or
maintenance
sheets
Once per year
Check the installation, location and siting of all equipment and devices
against the 'as-built' documentation. Record and report any
discrepancies.
Check wiring
and cable
protection
Once per year
Visually inspect all wiring and cable protection systems (conduits,
trunking, etc.). Record any damage or deterioration.
Check for dust,
moisture and
vermin
Once per year
Check all equipment enclosures for dust, moisture, condensation and
vermin. If excessive moisture or foreign matter is present, clear this out
of the enclosure and take steps to prevent future accumulation.
Check the
power supply
Once per year
Check that all power supplies are properly connected to a mains outlet
and are operational.
Test the power
supply DC
output voltage
Once per year
Disconnect the backup batteries and test the DC voltages across the V+
and V- output terminals on all power supplies.
The recommended voltage range is 12.4 - 14.0 VDC.
Test expander
module DC
output voltage
Once per year
Test DC voltage across the V+ and V- output terminals on Protege
controllers, input expanders and output expanders.
The recommended voltage range is 10.4 - 14.0 VDC.
Check battery
connections
Once per year
Check that all power supplies have batteries fitted and connected
correctly to the B+ and B- terminals, and that the batteries and
connections show no visible signs of corrosion.
Test battery
charge voltage
Once per year
Test the DC voltage across the B+ and B- terminals of all power supplies.
The recommended voltage range is 13.4 - 13.8 VDC.
Note: When the mains power is restored following an AC fail condition,
the battery charge voltage may fluctuate between 10.0 - 13.8 VDC
while the battery is recharging.
