Operator maintenance
Overview
The owner of a fire detection system is responsible for ensuring that it is correctly
maintained so that it is in proper working condition at all times. This involves
arranging for the system to be checked, tested, and serviced as described in this
manual.
The maintenance procedures described are Ziton recommendations. There may
be additional requirements or regulations imposed by local authorities. Where
this conflicts with the Ziton recommendations then the local authority regulation
should be followed.
A fire alarm system must provide early and reliable warning of the outbreak of
fire. To achieve this, the system remains on watch at all times, ready to activate
the alarms in response to a signal from any of the sensors. Regular testing and
maintenance must therefore be carried out to ensure the system is always
operating correctly.
Note:
The following guidelines were developed from the recommendations
provided in BS5839-1: 2002. They are intended to assist the user in
understanding their responsibilities regarding the continued safe and proper
operation of their fire alarm system. They do not attempt to provide detailed site-
specific test and maintenance routines. We recommend that the user reads and
understands the full text provided in the relevant sections of BS5839-1: 2002.
User responsibilities
A single person should be appointed to supervise all matters relating to the fire
alarm system, that is:
• Making sure the system is checked at least once every 24 hrs and that there
are no faults on the system.
• Making sure the system is correctly tested and maintained in line with the
recommendations of BS5839.
• Making sure that appropriate records are maintained by keeping the logbook
up-to-date and available for inspection by the maintenance authority.
• Making sure the relevant occupants are aware of their roles and
responsibilities in connection with the fire alarm system, ensuring that:
- Occupants are instructed in the proper use of the system including how to
interpret the alarm indications.
- Occupants are familiar with the appropriate user controls including the
correct use of the disablement features and understand how to avoid the
generation of false alarms.
• Making sure that situations are avoided that are detrimental to the standard of
protection provided by the system, for example:
