SCHEDULED SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The ARIES™ Fire Alarm/Suppression Control Unit must be inspected, tested and maintained in
accordance with the requirements of NFPA 72 (2002), Chapter 10, or in accordance with the
inspection, testing and maintenance schedule mandated by the Authority Having Jurisdiction
(AHJ).
Follow the required inspection, testing, and maintenance procedures for the associated
extinguishing system(s) as directed by the manufacturer and by the standards and codes that
apply to those systems.
Do not attempt any testing or maintenance of the control unit until you have:
• Isolated all onboard releasing outputs via the Isolate function.
• Ensure that all RRMs are connected to the control unit.
• Physically disconnected the wiring to actuator assemblies (if used) from the
release-circuit terminals, shorted the leads together, and wrapped the leads
in insulating tape
• Physically disconnected all control heads (if used) from their associated
agent-storage-container discharge valves
WARNING
• Physically disconnected the wiring to solenoid valves (if used) for pre-
action/deluge sprinkler systems
• Ensured that emergency operations controlled by this system such as facility
power shutoff are bypassed
• Notified personnel in the facility and at off-premises monitoring
locations that you are working on the system and that you will inform
them when system servicing has ended.
