When finished with the original installation and all modifications, conduct a
complete operational test on the entire installation to verify compliance with
applicable NFPA standards. Testing should be conducted by a Simplex-trained
technical representative in the presence of a representative of the Authority
Having Jurisdiction, and the customer’s representative. Follow the procedures
outlined in Chapter 7 “Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance” of NFPA Standard
72-1996 and the following steps.
1. Activate an initiating device (smoke, pull, etc.) and check that all active
notification appliances (strobes, horns, etc.) function. Reset the alarm
initiating device, the FACP, and any other associated equipment. Repeat
this step for each initiating device.
2. Remove AC power, activate an initiating device, and check that active
notification appliances sound, and alarm indicators illuminate. Measure the
battery voltage with notification appliances active. Replace any battery with
a voltage of less than 24VDC and reapply AC power.
Note: Step 2 requires fully charged batteries. If batteries are new or
discharged due to a recent power outage, allow the batteries to charge
for 48 hours before testing. Refer to “Periodic Testing and
Maintenance” section for more information on testing batteries.
3. Reapply AC power and check that all yellow and red LEDs are OFF and the
green AC Power LED is ON.
Caution: Notify fire, central station, and/or building personnel when
you finish testing the system.
