TESTING AND MAINTENANCE                       

We can arrange a maintenance package to suit almost any system, and to comply with BS5839 a guide of what needs to be tested and when is listed below.

DAILY INSPECTION 

Check that the Charger On indicator shows. Inspect for any fault indicator showing or sounder operating. Inform the designated responsible person of any fault. 

WEEKLY TEST 

Ensure that all indicators show by resetting according to the instructions provided with the panel and check that the internal sounder operates. Operate a call point or detector to test the system. Check that the sounders operate. Reset the fire alarm panel. Each week choose a different zone in rotation, so that way all call points are tested in rotation. Check all call points and detectors and ensure that none are obstructed in any way. Enter results of tests into log book. 

SIX MONTHLY TEST 

Check all previous log book entries and clarify that any remedial action has been taken. Check the battery and its connections. Operate a call point or detector in each zone to test the fire alarm as per above. Remove mains supply and check that the battery is capable of supplying the alarm sounders. 

ANNUAL TEST 

As per above. Additionally test all detectors and call points and check for operation. 

EVERY 2 - 3 YEARS 

Clean smoke detectors to ensure correct operation and freedom from false alarms. Special equipment is required for cleaning smoke detectors. 

EVERY 4 YEARS 

Replace sealed lead acid batteries. If the operating temperature exceeds 25oC continuously, then the battery may need to be replaced sooner.
