•
Make sure your fire warning system is operational
by conducting weekly tests (see “Fire Alarm
Operation” on page 21). If you are unsure about
system operation, contact your installing dealer.
•
We recommend that you contact your local fire
department and request further information on fire
safety and escape planning. If available, have your
local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house fire
safety inspection.
Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimum
maintenance. The following points should be observed.
1.
Do not wash the security control panel or keypads with
a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth
should remove normal accumulations of dust.
2.
The battery test is designed to determine battery
condition. We recommend, however, that the stand-by
batteries are replaced every five years.
3.
For other system devices such as smoke detectors,
passive infrared, ultrasonic or microwave motion
detectors or glass-break detectors, consult the
respective manufacturer’s literature for testing and
maintenance.
