o
Remove the circuit faults, restoring the circuit
to the healthy condition and confirm that the
fault indication clears.
3. Zone fire conditions
o
Starting with the device nearest the panel,
operate each manual call point and detection
device on the zone in turn.
o
After operation of each device confirm:
The fire indication is provided on the panel
on the correct zone.
The fire alarm devices operate correctly in
line with the panel configuration.
The Fire Routing and Fire protection outputs
operate correctly in line with the panel
configuration.
o
Press the Silence Alarms and the Reset
buttons after each device test and check the
alarm clears (Manual Call Points must be
manually reset before resetting the panel).
4. Detector removal operation.
o
Remove the 1st detector along the zone cable
[counting from the panel] on zone 1 and
observe the following:
The appropriate amber zone fault LED
illuminates
The internal buzzer sounds
The fault relay operates
o
For non I.S. zone applications:
Operate a manual call point between the
detector that has been removed and the EOL
capacitor. Check that the panel reacts as
described above for a fire condition.
Refit the detector, reset the manual call point,
press the “Silence Alarms” button and then
the “System Reset” button on the panel’s
display board and check that the control
panel returns to its normal state.
Repeat for all detectors on the zone.
o
For I.S. zone applications:
Remove the 1st detector in the zone cable
[counting from the panel] and operate a
manual call point ensuring that the correct
fire alarm condition is raised on the panel
(assuming the installation complies with
BS5839).
Continue to check the operation of all other
manual call points on the zone, resetting the
manual call point and silencing/resetting the
panel at each stage.
Refit the detector and check that the control
panel returns to its normal state.
Continue to test each of the other detectors
in turn, checking on each removal that:
The appropriate amber zone fault LED
illuminates
The internal buzzer sounds.
The fault relay operates.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4, one zone at a time, until all
the zones are commissioned.
6. Any faults that are found must be traced and
rectified before proceeding.
12.7.3 Class Change Input
1. Connect the Class Change switch to the class
change input on the motherboard.
2. Operate the class change switch and observe:
i) The alarms sound for 5 seconds then stop.
ii) The internal buzzer on the panel
does not
operate.
iii) The internal buzzer on repeaters
does not
operate.
3. De-activate the class change switch
12.7.4 Fire and Fault Routing Outputs
1. Remove the resistor from the Fire Routing
output circuit terminals and connect the field
wiring to the terminals, observing correct
polarity. Check that any fault indications clear
after a few seconds.
2. To operate the output, initiate a fire condition on
a zone. Check that the fire signal is received at
the receiving station. Silence and reset the fire
alarm panel to clear the output.
3. Remove the resistor from the Fault Routing
output circuit terminals and connect the field
wiring to the terminals, observing correct
polarity. Check that any fault indications clear
after a few seconds.
4. Initiate a fault condition on the fire alarm panel to
signal a fault to the remote receiving station.
5. Confirm the receipt of the fault warning at the
receiving station.
6. Open-circuit the output wiring of each circuit in
turn, Confirm the fire alarm panel indicates Fire
Routing and Fault Routing faults appropriately.
7. Reconnect the cabling and confirm the faults
clear.
12.7.5 Fire Protection control signal
1. Ensure any fire protection equipment to be
controlled via the Fire Protection output is locked
off/safe before attempting any connection,
testing or commissioning.
2. Remove the resistor from the Fire Protection
output circuit terminal and connect the field
wiring to the terminals, observing correct
polarity. Check that any fault indications clear
after a few seconds.
3. Initiate a fire condition on a zone to operate the
output. Check that the fire signal operates the
