ZP3 Fire Control Panel User Guide
8. Ensuring that the following spare parts are held on the premises:
•
Six replacement glasses and test keys for manual call points (unless the system has less than
twelve manual call points, in which case only two sets of glasses and keys are required).
•
One set of spare fuses.
•
Any other spare parts recommended by the servicing agent.
Note:
BS 5839-1:2002 Section 7 provides recommendations as to how these responsibilities should be discharged.
Regular procedures
The recommended routine maintenance procedures can be divided into the following categories:
•
Daily checks
•
Weekly checks
•
Quarterly services
•
Annual services
The daily and weekly checks require no technical knowledge and can often be carried out by the
panel operator, or in-house maintenance staff. It is important for the person carrying out the
testing to be aware of which building functions or remote alarms will be activated by the system
when an alarm occurs.
An authorized Ziton servicing company, usually under maintenance contract, should carry out
the quarterly and annual services. These services are not the responsibility of the operator or in-
house maintenance technician, and are not covered in this manual.
Repair of faults
The system operator and in-house maintenance personnel should have the telephone number of
the outside company contracted for maintenance, so that they can call them if a major fault
develops which is beyond the capability of the in-house people.
Record keeping
The operator should maintain a logbook (see document number 503-1842ZE-0-02) at the control
panel. A record of all alarms, events, checks, tests, and repairs should be entered in this logbook.
