PREVENTATIVE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

The following checks should be made:-
a) Carry out all quarterly/ six monthly checks.
b) Visually check the inside and outside of the controller / repeater panel for damage.
c) Check for damage to, and paint on, all detection devices.
d) Check for damage and accumulations of dirt on smoke detectors. DO NOT CLEAN;
these units MUST be exchanged and returned to the factory for service. An analogue
value of 100 for smoke detectors indicates service required.
e) Check the fixings for the controller and all detectors, sounders and ancillary equipment
which forms part of the fire detection system.
f) Check the cable fixings at the controller and each ancillary device for correct
connection.
g) All remaining detectors and call points not tested in quarterly/six monthly checks
should be tested for correct operation.
Any defect should be recorded in the Fire Alarm System log book and appropriate action taken.
