Installation—Installing the FC-2000 71
Testing the System
Upon completion of the original installation and following subsequent
modifications, a complete operational test should be conducted on the
entire installation for the purpose of verification of compliance with the
applicable NFPA standards. Testing should be conducted by a
factory-trained distributor in the presence of a representative of the
Authority Having Jurisdiction and the Owner’s Representative. Follow
procedures contained in NFPA Standard 72, Guide for Testing Procedures
for Local, Auxiliary, Remote Station and Proprietary Protective Signaling
Systems.
Periodic testing and servicing of the control panel, all initiating and
indicating devices, and any other associated equipment is essential to
insure proper and reliable operation. Testing and servicing should be in
accordance with the schedules and procedures outlined in the following
documents:
1. NFPA Standard 72, Guide for Testing Procedures for Local,
Auxiliary, Remote Station and Proprietary Protective Signaling
Systems.
2. The service manuals and instructions for the peripheral devices
contained in your system. Correct any trouble condition or
malfunction immediately.
Between formal periodic testing and servicing intervals, the following
operation checks should be performed monthly or more frequently when
required by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
1. Check that the green AC POWER LED is illuminated.
2. Check that all yellow LEDs are off.
3. Depress the SYSTEM RESET to sequentially light all system LEDs.
4. Before proceeding:
a) Notify fire department and/or central alarm receiving station if
alarm conditions are transmitted.
b) Notify facility personnel of test so that alarm sounding devices
are ignored during test period.
c) When necessary, activation of alarm indicating appliances and
speakers can be prevented by depressing the ON/OFF switch on
the indicating appliance circuit(s) or speaker circuit(s) to be
disabled, while depressing the DISABLE/ENABLE switch.
