Annual
The requirements of the annual test are similar to the quarterly test except that each device on the system
should be tested. Different service organisations may undertake device testing on the same visit, ie. One major
service and three minor service visits per year, or they may test a percentage of the devices on each visit so
that they are all tested within the 12 month period.
Action by the user after a fire
Advise the servicing company and arrange for the system to be tested by them. A certificate of testing should
be issued to confirm the system operation following the inspection and any remedial work that is necessary.
Action by the user after any false alarm
The user can assist the servicing company in the identification of false alarms by observing the following:
•
Always make a note of all illuminated indicators and messages displayed at the control panel.
•
Try and identify the activated device, ie. Do not reset the system until the area of the incident has been
inspected.
•
Record any other incidents occurring at the same time which could affect the system, eg. power supply
failure, building works, etc.
The service organisation will be more likely to trace the false alarm if the above information is available.
Action by the user following a fault
When a fault is reported by the control panel, the user should note all illuminated LEDs and messages
displayed, and the circumstances at the time the fault occurred, and report to the servicing company.
The service company will be able to advise if the system is still able to respond to a fire alarm or whether extra
vigilance should be observed until the fault is rectified. Faults should not be left unreported.
