6.2 Routine Testing
It is normal practice to sound the site alarms weekly, both to check they work and to accustom personnel to the sound
they make.
As it involves isolating / inhibiting emergency systems during testing, it might be more prudent to test the TPPL relays and
mA outputs only on a planned monthly basis.
Always have alternative safety arrangements in place and alert your personnel before and during testing.
6.2.1 Exercising the Audio/Visual Alarms
Audio/visual alarms can be tested by switching the Dedicated Alarms On. To do this:
1)
Ensure that relay activated output systems (i.e. emergency deluge / sirens etc.) are isolated before starting the test.
2)
Login as an Administrator or Service.
3)
Touch
Menu>System Test >Dedicated Alarm Contacts
4)
Touch the appropriate Alarm to toggle it on for each output (see below).
5)
Check the alarm outputs are visible / audible and turn them off when satisfied.
6)
Touch [Finish] when the tests are completed and all selections will automatically turn off.
