Maintenance
8.1
Planned maintenance & periodic inspections
Most of local or regional fire regulations require that fire systems undergo periodic inspections performed by
professionals. Contact a local specialized installation or maintenance company to execute the code-
mandated inspections and ensure the panel is inspected at least quarterly.
The Draco fire panel has a rich feature set to support and shorten site inspections:
Under the “View” menu (see section 5.4.2), all users can read the event log and get a report on the active
faults, disablement, test conditions…
Under the Operator menu (see section 5.5.3), users with access level 2 can test outputs, zones, the keyboard
and visual indicators.
Under the “Report” menu (see section 5.5.4), users with access level 2 can get detailed information of the
system configuration and diagnostics from field devices.
8.2
Battery Maintenance
The panel systematically monitors the charge level and the internal resistance of the attached batteries.
During periodic site inspections, maintenance personnel shall review the event log to verify there are no
battery-related faults. Visually inspect the cables of the battery to ensure they are in good condition. In
general, it is not necessary to conduct any additional measurement on the batteries.
Sealed lead-acid batteries do not require maintenance, but they have a limited service life. Replace batteries
before exceeding the service life declared by the battery manufacturer. Dispose of old batteries according
to local regulations.
8.3
Cleaning
Make sure the interior and exterior of the control panel is free from dirt. Perform periodic basic cleaning by
using a cloth to dust the exterior. Do not use chemical products to clean the panel.
