Testing the product operability
Prevent the remote transmission from triggering erroneously.
If testing building installations or activating devices from third-party companies,
you must collaborate with the people appointed.
The activation of fire control installations for test purposes must not cause
injury to anyone or damage to the building installations. The following
instructions must be observed:
‒ Use the correct potential for activation; this is generally the potential of the
building installation.
‒ Only check controls up to the interface (relay with blocking option).
‒ Make sure that only the controls to be tested are activated.
Inform people before testing the alarm devices and allow for possible panic
responses.
Inform people about any noise or mist which may be produced.
Before testing the remote transmission, inform the corresponding alarm and
fault signal receiving stations.
Modifications to the system layout and products
Modifications to the system and to individual products may lead to faults,
malfunctioning and safety risks. Written confirmation must be obtained from
Siemens and the corresponding safety bodies for modifications or additions.
Modules and spare parts
Components and spare parts must comply with the technical specifications
defined by Siemens. Only use products specified or recommended by
Siemens.
Only use fuses with the specified fuse characteristics.

Siemens.
Batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Observe
national guidelines and regulations.
