Periodic maintenance
To guarantee the ef fi ciency of the fi re alarm system, it is necessary to provide for an appropriate maintenance program. The
frequency of maintenance depends on different aspects, however, it is recommended to have the system serviced at least
once every 6 months. The maintenance operations should be carried out by specialized technical staff. It is assumed that those
who designed and installed the system have the necessary information and knowledge to perform proper maintenance. The
maintenance guidelines are prescribed by the European standards.
The most important controls include:
• Checking the operational state of the primary (mains power) and secondary (battery) power supply of the control panel and
of the auxiliary power supplies
• Checking the operational state of the batteries and self-powered devices (sirens and telephone transmitters)
• Checking the functional ef
fi ciency of the detectors
• Checking the functional ef fi ciency (cleanliness) of the smoke chamber of the optical detectors
• Checking the functional ef fi ciency of the control panels and repeaters
• Verifying the ef fi ciency of the acknowledgment, evacuation and system reset procedures
• Checking the functional ef fi ciency of the manual call points
• Checking the functional ef fi ciency of the optical-acoustic alarm devices
• Checking the functional ef fi ciency of the alarm transmission equipment (ATE)
• Verifying the ef fi ciency of the actuations through the input and output modules
• Verifying the correct coupling of the cables to the terminals
• Drafting of the
fi nal inspection report
