Log Books
Every Extinguishing Control System should have a logbook associated with it. This logbook is
used to record events raised by the Extinguishing Control Unit or events concerning the
Extinguishing System as reported by the connected ZP3/ZP5 panel. The following type of
information should be recorded in a logbook:
•
A description of each event along with the name of the responsible person on duty at the
time of the event.
•
Brief details of any servicing arrangements arising from events.
•
Dates and times of all extinguishant discharges, whatever the cause. The cause of the
discharge should be noted etc.
•
Dates and times of all alarms. The cause of the alarm should be noted. If the cause is not
known then this should be stated. The devices activated and their locations should be
recorded. Any actions taken should also be recorded.
•
Dates, times and types of all defects and faults and the corrective actions taken.
•
Dates, times and types of all tests undertaken.
•
Dates, times and types of all servicing undertaken, whether routine or for corrective
purposes.
•
Dates and times of all periods of device, zone or system isolation, for whatever purpose.
•
Dates of all changes and upgrades to the system along with the names of those that carried
them out.
Note:
The system specification should also be updated.
Test Notification and Preparation
It is critical that the relevant personnel are notified about any testing BEFORE starting with the
tests.
Occupants of the building and anyone receiving remote alarm signals, such as the fire
department must be informed of when the test is to begin and when it is over. No alarms should
be sounded before notifying these personnel.
CAUTION:
All systems that were disconnected for testing/maintenance purposes MUST be
reconnected at the end of testing.
