The most common cause
of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system in
excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA
standards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt
or high air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local
manufacturer's RE / DD / UM 3 / AVANI V 1.0- 01 representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthly or as
required by National and/or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional fire alarm installers
only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.
This system
meets NFPA requirements for indoor dry operation at 0-49° C/32-120° F and at a relative humidity of 93 ±2%
RH (non-condensing) at 32 ±2° C/90 ±3° F. However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic
components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that
this system and all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate
for all initiating and indicating device loops. Refer to manual Specifications section
for maximum allowable I.R. drop from the specified device voltage. Like all solid state electronic devices, this system
may operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning-induced transients. Although no system is
completely immune from lightning transients and interferences, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or
outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the
Technical Services Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
Do not tighten screw terminals
more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal
contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components.
Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the
body. Use static-suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions
in the installation, operating, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to
avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper
installation by authorized personnel.
