and free from debris, rust, or electrical faults.
- Visual inspection of the control panel to ensure normal functioning. When functioning
normally the only indicator illuminated should be the “Power” indicator (green).
- Visual inspection of anti-tamper seals and travel pins, to ensure they are in place.
9.2 Semi-annual / Annual Service Schedule
Semi-annual and Annual servicing and maintenance are to be undertaken only by
accredited service technicians. Any misuse of the FIP may result in an accidental discharge
of the suppression system and is not covered by warranty.
Servicing should include a visual inspection of all the installed components to ensure they are
in good condition, and that the relevant stream lengths and thermal clearances are observed
as per the original design calculation and risk assessment.
Operation of the fire system should be tested as outlined in 8. Commissioning and Test
Procedure.
10 Troubleshooting
The FP-08451 Control Panel provides a comprehensive fault monitoring system that will detect
any open-circuit in the Circuit 1 Alarm Output, Circuit 2 Alarm Output, Siren/Strobe Output,
Discharge Output and Agent Released Input and any malfunctions of the control panel’s
internal components.
When in a fault condition, the control panel will operate the “Fault” LED indicator and operate
the internal sounder. The control panel uses a coded sequence to indicate the type circuit to
the operator. Note: to diagnose if a fault is internal or external, attempt to isolate the panel.
If the control panel can be isolated, the fault is external. (see 7.2 Isolating the Control Panel)
10.1 Internal Faults
An internal fault cannot be isolated and will display as:
Internal faults can be rectified by powering down the panel and powering up again. This will
reset the system to normal conditions. If the fault persists, contact your supplier.
10.2 External Faults
An external fault can be isolated and will display as:
External faults will require inspection and testing of connections and installed components.
End-of-line plugs should be plugged directly into the panel, to return it normal condition, and
then used to systematically check along the effected circuit(s). If the fault persists, contact
your supplier.
