Appendix C: System Maintenance and Testing
Acceptance Test
e control panel is required to be installed in accordance with local and state building codes and NFPA 72 (National
Fire Alarm Code). At the conclusion of each original installation or modication of this system, the control panel
and related system is required to be inspected and tested in accordance with NFPA 72 to verify compliance with the
applicable standards.
Testing should be conducted by Potter factory trained re alarm technician(s) in the presence of a representative of
the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and the building owners representative. Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire
Alarm Code), Inspection Testing and Maintenance.
Periodic Testing and Service
Periodic testing and maintenance of the control panel, all initiating devices, all notication appliances and any other
associated equipment is essential to ensure the system will operate as designed in emergency situations. Service and
test the control panel according to the schedules and procedures outlined in the following documents:
• NFPA 72, Inspection, Testing and Maintenance.
• Service manuals and instructions for any and all peripheral devices installed in the system. It is very important
that any and all trouble conditions (or faults) be corrected immediately.
Operational Checks
During interim periods between formal testing and at regular intervals the control system should be subjected to
the following operational performance checks. e Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) should be consulted for
requirements on frequency of system testing.
• Check that the green AC power LED is lit.
• Check that all amber LED’s are o.
• Using the system menus, perform a Lamp Test function. Verify that all LED’s and LCD segments operate.
• Before proceeding: (1) Notify the re department and the central alarm receiving station if transmitting alarm
status conditions; (2) Notify facility personnel of the test so that alarm-indicating devices are disregarded during
the test period; and (3) When necessary, bypass activation of alarm notication appliances and speakers (if
installed) to prevent sounding of evacuation signals.
• Activate an input device (i.e., manual station, heat or smoke detector), and check that all notication appliances
function.
• Notify Fire Department, central alarm receiving station and /or building personnel when nished with testing
the system.
• e test of ground fault must be measured in below 10k ohms impedance.
AC Fuse
e control panel has one fuse on the board for the AC power over current protection. e AC fuse is rated at 8A
250VAC Time-Lag and screened onto the main board as F1.
