check
Description
1
Quarterly checks
Make sure the quarterly checks have been performed (see Table 29)
2 Input-Output
configuration test
Using a fairly large representative sample, verify by testing that the input-output
mapping operates as programmed. Activate an input, such as a sensor,
callpoint, or interface unit, and verify that the correct outputs operate. Also
check that the outputs function correctly, for example, that they pulse, or
operate continuously, that any delays operate correctly, etc.
3 Building
changes
check
Visually inspect that the internal structural layout of the building, including inter-
office partitioning, has not changed from the system specification to such an
extent that it may affect the efficient operation of the fire alarm system.
4 Lithium
time/date
batteries check
Check if the lithium time/date batteries will still be valid before the next service.
If not, then replace the batteries as described under “
Removing and replacing
the lithium time/date batteries
” on page 127. The age of the battery should be
marked on it with a label, or refer to the log book. SLA batteries should be
replaced at least every four years, or more frequently in high temperature
environments (refer to manufacturer’s documentation if necessary).
5
Completion of Service
Restore the system to normal condition, re-enable any disabled devices, re-
connect any disconnected devices, re-connect all external systems that were
disconnected for the testing, and ensure that the system is left in 100% working
condition. Advise all staff and the remote manned centre that testing is
complete, and that any alarm now received must be treated as real.
