EWCIE Technical Manual
14 Maintenance
The EvacU EWCIE should be maintained so as to comply with all standards / regulations applicable
to the country and location it has been installed. Failure to do so could put at risk compliance and the
integrity of the system. As a minimum it is recommended the following be used as a guide to periodic
maintenance especially if there is an absence of standards regulations.
General
To implement a site maintenance regime, responsibilities should be established by responsible
persons, training implemented if required, maintenance delegates appointed and all outcomes clearly
communicated to all parties.
Daily Operations (operator level)
 The delegated operator checks for normal operation
 If any faults are detected, record them in an established “Site Log Book” and report them to
the assigned body.
 Ensure all faults are signed off as they are resolved and follow up on those that are still
outstanding.
Monthly Operations (operator level)
 In addition to Daily Operational checks
 Visually inspect in and around the panel for any signs of pests, moisture or general damage
 Conduct a System test section 4.5.4 or applicable tests defined in Section 4.5.3 of this manual.
 Ensure the Site Log Book” is up to date, faults have been attended to and the latest test are
recorded
Quarterly Operations (service contractor)
 In addition to Monthly Operational checks
 Check all internal connections and perform site specific tests. Refer test options defined in
section 4.5.3 of this manual as a guide.
 Perform a “walk around” of the site to determine if the system integrity is free of possible faults
 Ensure the Site Log Book” is up to date, faults have been attended to and the latest test are
recorded
Annual Operations (service contractor)
 In addition to Monthly Operational checks

Initiate both a “lamp” test (section 5.7) and any other tests as determined necessary for the
