The section describes briefly the relevant requirements of BS5839-9:2011 for
maintenance of VoCALL 16 system. If local regulations, standards and codes calls for

If the VoCALL 16 system is installed in a location where audible fault warnings could
be unnoticed for more than 24 hours, a special check should be performed each day
to confirm that the "System Healthy" LED is illuminated and LCD indicates
'System OK', or any faults that are indicated are receiving necessary attention.

for 24 hours. This inspection does not need to be recorded.
Weekly check
A functional test of the outstation should be performed to ensure it can make and
receive clear and intelligible calls to the relevant panel. A different outstation should
be used each week, so that all units will get tested in rotation.
