1X-X3 Operation Manual 

Maintenance 

Perform the following maintenance tasks to ensure that your fire alarm system 

works correctly and complies with all required European regulations. 

WARNING: 

Risk of death or serious injury. Disconnect the extinguishing agent 

actuator from the control panel 

before 

you issue the actuator output test 

command. When you confirm the test command, the actuator output is activated 

immediately. 

Note: 

Before performing any tests, ensure that fire routing (if configured) is 

disabled or that the fire brigade has been notified. 

Quarterly maintenance 

Contact your installation or maintenance contractor to perform a quarterly 

inspection of the system. 
This inspection must test at least one device per zone and verify that the control 

panel responds to all fault and alarm events. The control panel power supply and 

battery voltage should be checked.  

Annual maintenance 

Contact your installation or maintenance contractor to carry out an annual 

inspection of the system. 
This inspection must test all system devices and verify that the control panel 

responds to all fault and alarm events. All electrical connections must be visually 

inspected to make sure that they are securely fastened, that they have not been 

damaged, and that they are appropriately protected. 

Cleaning 

Keep the outside and inside of the control panel clean. Carry out periodic 

cleaning using a damp cloth for the outside. Do not use products containing 

solvents to clean the unit. Do not clean the inside of the cabinet with liquid 

products.
