Maintenance
5. Maintenance
5.1 Daily Testing
• To be conducted by the Premises Management.
• Check that the panel shows no fire or fault indications.
• If there are any fault conditions indicated then follow
instructions in section 2.7.
5.2 Weekly Testing
• To be conducted by the Premises Management.
• Each week perform a Lamp Test to check that all visual
and audible indicators on the panel are functioning
correctly (refer to section 6.8).
• Each week a different zone should be tested. Testing with
a manual call point is the simplest method as these can be
easily triggered with the key provided. Testing with a fire
detection device is more complex as it requires specialist
equipment and may not be possible for all premises. At a
minimum a different manual call point should be tested
each week.
• Place the zone to be tested into test mode using the
“Individual Zone Test” (refer to 6.7 for more details)
• Record the weekly test results in the log book.
5.3 Quarterly Testing

corrective actions had been taken.

book.

system is capable of supplying the fire alarm devices by
operating a call point.
5.4 Yearly Testing

book.
