Fire Sensors
&
1. When testing heat sensors DO NOT use a heat gun for the test in a hazardous
environment.
2. Manufacturer recommended test equipment and methods must be used to fire
test flame detectors connected via interface unit.
4. When smoke testing fire sensors using artificial smoke, avoid excessive spray
to prevent accumulation of sticky residue on sensor, see instructions on the
smoke canister. Ensure the 'Test mode' is used when performing smoke test on
an S-Quad sensor
5. The beam sensors should be tested using obscuration filters to simulate
smoke at the appropriate sensitivity STATE.
The BS5839:Part 1 recommends that all sensors are tested for correct operation.
¨
Unless otherwise instructed all sensors should be tested. Each Sensor should also be
checked for any physical obstacles that would inhibit the operation of the sensor in
the event of a fire.
¨
Each Sound and Speech part of the S-Quad and S-Cubed should output the correct
signal at the appropriate volume level in accordance with the Standard requirements
and to meet the site specific needs as agreed with the customer.
¨
The VAD/Strobe part of S-Quad and S-Cubed should operate at the required flash
rate in the event of a fire and is not obstructed.
¨
Each fire sensor should be tested for correct operation in the event of fire.
¨
Each speech/sounder should be tested for correct operation in the event of fire.
Manual Call Points
¨
Each call point should be tested for correct initiation of a fire event.

Interface Units
&
1. In some instances it may not be possible to functionally test equipment (plant
equipment) connected to input / output circuits off an interface unit.
2. Ensure the contact rating of interface output circuits are adequate for the plant
equipment load requirement.
Plant equipment
¨
Tests should be carried out on the operation of plant equipment, like lift, escalator,
door release, fire dampers etc following customer consent. It may also be necessary to
obtain third party consent.
¨
All tests on plant equipment should have been agreed during the project design stage.
Tests
¨
Where tests are performed on a interface unit check each each circuit failure is
indicated at the control panel, such as:
•
Battery disconnection*
•
Mains supply disconnection*
•
Input line open circuit
•
Input line short circuit
•
Input line detector and MCP fire#
•
Output line open circuit ~
•
Output line short circuit ~
•
Output line operation ~
* - not applicable for the loop powered interface units.
# - a fire from a call point or detector connected to an interface input cannot be differentiated.
Keyswitches
¨
Where the interface unit input is from a keyswitch, then the keyswitch should be
configured for correct operation and tested as per project specification.
¨
Check on operating a keyswitch the confirmation LED, where applicable, is lit to
show operation.
