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 tests the batteries under a full
load. The battery voltage should be monitored during this test
and should not fall below 24 V.
Remove one battery terminal and verify that the system reports
a battery fault. Replace the 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.
14.
Time and date set
Set the correct time and date on the panel, if necessary.
15.
Completion of
service
Restore the system to normal condition, enable any disabled
devices, reconnect any disconnected devices, reconnect all
external systems that were disconnected for the testing, and
make sure 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.
Refer to Table 41 for the annual checks that must be carried out on the ZP3
system.

Quarterly checks
Make sure the quarterly checks have been performed (see
Table 40 on page 132)
2.
Input-output
configuration test
Using a fairly large representative sample, verify by testing that
the input-output mapping operates as programmed. Activate an
input, such as a sensor, call point, or interface unit, and verify
that the correct outputs operate. Also check that the outputs
function correctly, for example, that they pulse, or operate
continuously, that any delays operate correctly, etc.
3.
Building changes
check
Visually inspect that the internal structural layout of the building,
including inter-office partitioning, has not changed from the
system specification to such an extent that it may affect the
efficient operation of the fire alarm system.
4.
Clock batteries
check
Check whether the lithium clock batteries will still be valid before
the next service. If not, then replace the batteries as described
under “Removing and replacing the clock batteries” on page
150. The age of the battery should be marked on it with a label,
or may be recorded in the log book. SLA batteries should be
replaced at least every four years, or more frequently in high
temperature environments (refer to manufacturer’s
documentation if necessary).
