MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of equipment extraneous to the panel is detailed in the appropriate
manufacturer's literature.
The back-up batteries are maintenance free.
The components used in the control panels are of sufficient quality to withstand the life
expectancy of the panel, of 15 years. All critical printed circuit boards are self monitoring and
therefore should only be replaced as required.
The only exception to the above is the lithium battery on the 460 processor board, which will
require replacing every 18 months.
4.10.1 Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance should be carried out on a regular basis at periods dictated by the
operational performance of the equipment and the environmental conditions of the location. It
is recommended that the integral event printer paper roll is checked weekly.
1.
Remove dust and dirt from the panel exterior using a soft brush and lint-free cloth. An
approved solvent may be used to remove stubborn dirt build-up.
2.
Examine the exterior for visual signs of damage, i.e. defective or loose cable glands,
damaged cables, etc. Rectify any defect.
3.
Switch the control keyswitch to INHIBIT.

5.
Unlock the front panel to gain access to the box interior.
6.
Remove any dust/dirt from the interior using a soft brush and/or a vacuum cleaner.
7.
Examine the printed circuit boards for signs of over heating, damaged tracks, dry
joints, security, etc. Renew any defective or suspect item.
8.

interconnecting cables. Renew any defective or suspect item.
