Commissioning zones
1.
Work logically and systematically through each zone.
2.
Zone fault conditions:
o
Remove the end-of-line device from the zone 1 terminals and connect the
cables of the zone 1 circuit to the panel terminals, observing the correct
polarity. Check that any zone 1 fault indications clear after a few seconds.
o
Check the fault monitoring of the cable is correct by applying an open
circuit then a short circuit at the end-of-line device (in the field). Check
that the fault condition is indicated on zone 1 on the fire panel.
o
Remove the circuit faults, restoring the circuit to the healthy condition and
confirm that the fault indication clears.
3.
Zone fire conditions
o
Starting with the device nearest the panel, operate each manual call point
and detection device on the zone in turn.
o
After operation of each device confirm:
•
The fire indication is provided on the panel on the correct zone.
•
The fire alarm devices operate correctly in line with the panel
configuration.
•
The Fire Routing and Fire protection outputs operate correctly in line
with the panel configuration.
o
Press the Silence Alarms and the Reset buttons after each device test and
check the alarm clears (Manual Call Points must be manually reset before
restting the panel).
4.
Detector removal operation.
o
Remove the 1st detector along the zone cable [counting from the panel] on
zone 1 and observe the following:
•
The appropriate amber zone fault LED illuminates
•
The internal buzzer sounds
•
The fault relay operates
o
For non I.S. zone applications:
•
Operate a manual call point between the detector that has been
removed and the EOL capacitor. Check that the panel reacts as
described above for a fire condition.
•
Refit the detector, reset the manual call point, press the “Silence
Alarms” button and then the “System Reset” button on the panel’s
display board and check that the control panel returns to its normal
state.
•
Repeat for all detectors on the zone.
o
For I.S. zone applications:
•
Remove the 1st detector in the zone cable [counting from the panel]
and operate a manual call point ensuring that the correct fire alarm
condition is raised on the panel (assuming the installation complies
with BS5839).
