Testing should only be carried out by qualified personnel. Ensure that the proper authorities have
been informed and that the unit has been isolated from the fire system if necessary to prevent
unwanted alarms.

Point Detectors
l
With the unit powered up and top cover removed the detectors can be tested for alarm functionality using
methods described by the manufacturer (e.g. aerosol spray).

An airflow test may also be performed at this time as the detector should report a low flow fault with the
top cover removed.
6.2
System
The installed system must be checked with the top cover securely fitted.
If it is possible to get close to the sampling point then a basic, functional check can be carried out with smoke
matches or lighted paper etc.

requirements.
