SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY TEST
The call point test key should be inserted firmly and deliberately into the bottom of the manual call point.
Once activated it may be necessary to wait up to four seconds before the alarms sound.
Your manual call points may not be the same as the ones described above. If not please refer to your
service and maintenance company for instructions.
Note:
Before testing the fire alarm system it may be necessary to isolate ancillary outputs.
It is essential that any alarm receiving centre is contacted immediately before and immediately after, the
weekly test to ensure that unwanted alarms are avoided and that fire alarm signals are correctly received
at the alarm receiving centre.
PERIODIC INSPECTION & SERVICING
Inspection & servicing should only be carried out by a ‘Competent Person’ who has sufficient knowledge
to check the whole system. This would normally be a qualified electrical contractor or fire alarm specialist.
Inspection & servicing visits are normally conducted on a quarterly basis unless such factors as a dirty
environment warrant servicing on a more regular basis. The maximum period between inspections must
not exceed six months.
Recommendations of BS5839-1 for periodic service visits include:
•
Every device on the system should be tested annually. The testing of each device can be split
between periodic visits but with a minimum of one detector or call point tested on each circuit, per
visit.
•
On each visit the ‘Competent Person’ should check the record of false alarms. Any persistent
occurrence should be investigated and corrective action taken as appropriate.
•
Battery and connections should be examined and load tested to check serviceable condition and
that they are not likely to fail before the next service visit.
•
All other devices and control & indicating equipment should be checked for correct operation and
any faults should be recorded and rectified.
•
Details of the service visit must be recorded in the log book
