2.8.3 Routine Equipment Maintenance
There are a number of regular maintenance tasks that should be performed monthly to ensure
that the Presidium system continues to perform as expected.
• General inspection of all cabling, conduit, connectors, glands and housings to ensure that
they are all in good working order and not suffering deterioration.
• General inspection of the standard Presidium chassis, ensuring that it is dust free and the
fan mounted on the power supply is not obstructed in any way.
• Remove the fan cover from the front panel (it clips off) and check whether the fan filter
requires cleaning or replacement.
• Regular cleaning of camera housing windows with lens cleaner and a lint-free cloth to
ensure that the performance of the system is not prejudiced by poor image quality.
• Check that any heaters, blowers, washers or wipers installed on camera housings are
operating as expected.
• Regular cleaning of the window on any PRO series PIR. The window should be cleaned
with lens cleaner and a lint free cloth. If the window is showing signs of deterioration or
peeling, please contact your Xtralis supplier for replacement details.
• Where insects or spiders can be a problem in or near camera housings, the provision of
insect repellent material such as pest control strips or surface spray will reduce any
nuisance alarms caused by such events.
2.8.4 Routine Detection Tests
Regular site detection tests should be performed at least once per month, but preferably weekly,
to check the Presidium system detects unauthorised intrusions. The detection tests used as part
of the maintenance program should follow the tests performed as part of the initial installation
and commissioning. The descriptions of these tests should have been documented in tables.
For each detection area, the following should be performed:
• Check that the detection area covered by each camera connected to Presidium matches
the initial design and commissioning, and that the detection areas programmed for
Presidium are still aligned within the field of view of the camera.
• Check that any PIR detector is still aligned as initially designed and commissioned.
• Execute a test in each detection area based on the type of intrusion, such as a walking
target for opportunistic intruder. Ensure that the alarm activation is reported as expected at
the Presidium system, and also that any third party system triggered from the Presidium
system receives an alarm notification.
• Repeat the tests under the different lighting conditions, e.g. day or night. Conducting tests
at dawn/dusk should also be considered as the lighting conditions at these times can
provide the most challenging environment for detection.
It is also important to check that detection is not occurring in areas in which detection should not
occur. In each detection area, check that detection does not occur in areas that should be
masked out, or should not be aligned with PRO series PIRs or other detection technology. With
the PIRs in particular, check that detection does not occur past the defined maximum detection
point.
2.8.5 Maintenance to Regulatory Requirements
Regular maintenance and testing of security systems may be mandated by internal
organisational requirements, but in some industries, specifically 'high risk' industries, such as
nuclear power generation, there may be statutory requirements for maintenance and testing.
Please check with the appropriate government agencies to determine whether any such criteria
apply in your industry area.
