• Panel controls test
Check that all control functions, the ACCEPT - and RESET keys, are operating
correctly.
•
Printer test
Make sure that the printer is printing all events generated during the service.
• Monitor earth leakage
On systems with the earth leakage monitoring enabled, this feature should be tested.
Apply a short between the positive leg of the Z-loop and earth, checking that the panel
indicates an earth leakage fault. Repeat, using the negative leg of the Z-loop.
•
Connection checks
Make sure that all terminal screws are tight and cables inside the panel are secure.
Check that all printed circuit boards (PCB's) appear to be in good condition, are free of
dust and securely mounted in the panel.
•
Battery replacement check
Make sure that the battery installed is sufficient to meet the system specifications. If
not then replace it with a suitable one.
Check if the battery replacement date will be passed before the next service. If so
replace the battery. The age of the battery should be marked on it with a label, or
refer to the log book. SLA batteries should be replaced at least every four years, or
more frequently in high temperature environments. Refer to manufacturers literature.
•
Battery operation check
Check that the battery is healthy. One method is to conduct an "all-sounders on"
operational test with the mains off and the system running on batteries. This will test
the batteries under a full load. The battery voltage should be monitored during this
test and should not fall below 24 volts.
Remove one battery terminal and verify that the system reports a battery fault.
Replace terminal, ensure that it is tight, and reset the panel.
Clean the battery with a damp cloth and lightly lubricate any exposed terminals with
petroleum jelly if necessary.
• Time and date set
Set the correct time and date on the panel, if necessary.
•
Completion of Service
Restore the system to normal condition, re-enable any disabled devices, re-connect
any disconnected devices, re-connect all external systems that were disconnected for
the testing, and ensure that the system is left in 100% working condition. Advise all
staff and the remote manned centre that testing is complete, and that any alarm now
received must be treated as real.
