Detailed acceptance testing procedures are beyond the scope of this manual. Such procedures must be
developed as part of the overall system installation. In each case, before the system is accepted into
service, it must meet the operating criteria established by the specifying engineer and endorsed by the
Authority Having Jurisdiction. Following is a checklist to aid in establishing operating criteria.
When full power is applied:
• The green power LED glows. No RED or YELLOW LEDs are on and no audible devices are sounding.
When an alarm is present:
• All activated alarm devices sound.
• The red alarm LED glows and the built-in audible device sounds steady.
When a trouble is present:
• The system trouble LED glows and the built-in audible device sounds while pulsing.
Troubleshooting Tips
• Don't panic. Calmly evaluate the symptoms.
• If more than one trouble is indicated, select a specific indication and troubleshoot it. It is better to
follow a logical sequence and not introduce any new problems.
• Prior to installation, check a new panel on the bench with ELRs whenever possible.
• On the job-site, determine as soon as possible if the problem is internal to the panel or in the external
circuits.
• Spare components (known to be good) are essential to fast, efficient troubleshooting.
• Follow the step by step procedures listed in this guide. Replacing components in a random manner
may cause additional damage to the system. Troubleshoot the component which has the trouble
indication and replace the component with a known good component.
• Always use voltage measurements when troubleshooting the panel.
• If you are unable to locate the problem by following these procedures, technical service is available
from the Fire•Lite Technical Services Department.
