12.0 User maintenance
There are
NO
user serviceable parts in the
FireSAFE
unit.
13.0 Service and annual test (as per BS 9251:2014)
BS 9251:2014 recommends that the full fire protection system is tested and inspected every
twelve months. This includes the
FireSAFE
unit and ensures that the system remains in first
class working order.
The
FireSAFE
unit should be tested annually by a suitably qualified and competent person.
Following the below checklist gives some minimum activities that need to be completed at
each service and annual test. Other activities will need completing according to the system
design and any fault rectification required.
The record of the service should be added to the history log at the back of this manual.
Should any maintenance work be required then the water and electricity supply may
require isolating prior to commencing work.
The building will be without the fire protection that the
FireSAFE
unit gives during this
period and alternative measures should be considered. The owner of the building and
any inhabitants should be informed of this.
Ensure any outgoing signals from the
FireSAFE
unit are not going to cause
activation of:
Fire alarms/beacons
Fire alarm control panel
Fire service response or fire monitoring service response
Any other warning/monitoring devices installed (eg. SMS to mobile device)
Consideration should be given to contacting any response services beforehand and
informing them of the Service and annual test activity of the
FireSAFE
unit.
Before removing the terminal box cover from the electric motor or before any
removal/dismantling of the pump/motor unit takes place, ensure that the electricity
supply to the control panel has been suitably isolated and cannot be switched on.
Once any maintenance work is completed, ensure that the isolating valves are opened
fully, locked in the open position and that the electricity supply to the
FireSAFE
unit is
restored, and locked in the ON position.
Check that the correct system pressure is achieved.
Inform the necessary people that the system has been restored.
