11. Testing and Maintenance
11.1 SelfVerify® 2.0 Function
For information on the SelfVerify® 2.0 function, refer to chapter 5.7.
Due to the fact that the SelfVerify® 2.0 test is using a calibrated test
signal, Autronica Fire and Security considers this to be equal or better
than a non-calibrated manual physical test with smoke or test gas.
Autronica Fire and Security therefore recommends that functional
tests of the protector are done automatically by the system itself
using the SelfVerify® 2.0 function.
Note that local regulations and more strict requirements may apply.
The SelfVerify® 2.0 function can also be performed on demand by an
authorized technician using the appropriate instrumental tools
(WAS-2000/AS-2000).
11.2 Visual Inspection
The SelfVerify® 2.0 function does not identify structural changes in a
building or if a protector is physically covered unless the add-on
feature “Cover Detection” is active (refer to chapter 5.8).
Autronica Fire and Security recommends an annual visual inspection
to identify structural changes in a building that could impact the
protectors performance and/or in case Cover detection (see chapter
5.8) is not enabled.
