Once installation has been completed, a careful visual inspection should be made before applying
power to the system. Check the actual wiring hookup with the wiring diagrams. Insure that no
pieces of wire have fallen into the circuitry. Check for missing or damaged parts.

An initial alarm test should be conducted following installation to determine that all parts of the
system are functioning properly. The panels should remain powered for 24 to 36 hours prior to
connecting the releasing solenoids. This precaution will avoid false activation of the suppression
system in case of faulty or improperly placed detectors.
To perform an alarm test on the panel, follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect AC power and battery power.
2. Disconnect the installed solenoid valve circuit leads and connect spare solenoid valves, or
connect an end-of-line device to serve as a dummy load.
3. Reconnect the AC and battery power.
4. Initiate a first zone alarm condition by introducing smoke into one of the Zone 1 detectors.
This should cause the first zone alarm condition.
• The Alarm relay will energize.
• The red Zone 1 alarm LED will be illuminated.
• The remote Indicating Circuit #1 audible alarm and the local buzzer will start sounding.

A regular schedule of inspection, testing, and maintenance is vital to insure proper and reliable
operation of the control panel. The procedures should be performed as required by the local
authority having jurisdiction. Refer to NFPA for further details.
