6 SYSTEM INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Each Janus Fire Systems® FM-200® Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing System must be properly inspected
and maintained at regular intervals by competent individuals qualied in the installation and testing of
clean agent extinguishing systems and thoroughly trained in the functions they are expected to perform.
It is the owner’s responsibility to coordinate and schedule inspection and maintenance and verify that
individuals performing the functions are properly trained as required by NFPA 2001.
6.1 Monthly Inspection
Inspection is a quick check of the system and is intended to give reasonable assurance that the system is fully
charged and operational. is is done by reviewing the system to check that it has not been tampered with,
all components are in place, no physical damage exists or no condition exists that could prevent operation.
is section does not cover inspection requirements of the detection, control, and releasing system. Consult
NFPA 72 and the appropriate technical manual for those products and instructions on performing
inspection.
e individual conducting the inspection should be familiar and knowledgeable with the system components
and the intended operation of the system.
e system should be inspected on monthly intervals or more frequently if conditions dictate, with records
maintained identifying as a minimum the person performing the inspection, date of inspection, observations,
and results of the inspection noting any action to be taken.
A minimum of the following items should be checked during inspection:
• Visuallyverifythatthecontrolpanelisfreeoftroubleoralarmconditions.
