10. MAINTENANCE and
TESTING
NOTICE: The owner is responsible for
maintaining the fire protection system
and devices in proper operating condi-
tion. The Viking Model B-1 Release
Control Panel must be kept free of for-
eign matter and environmental condi-
tions that could impair it's operation.
For minimum maintenance and inspec-
tion requirements, refer to the National
Fire Protection Association Pamphlet
that describes care and maintenance of
sprinkler systems. In addition, the
"Authority Having Jurisdiction" may
have additional maintenance, testing,
and inspection requirements which must
be followed.
WARNING: Any system maintenance
that requires placing a control valve or
detection system out of service may
eliminate the fire protection capabilities
of that system. Prior to proceeding, no-
tify all Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
Consideration should be given to em-
ployment of a Fire Patrol in the affected
areas.
Tests
Prior to proceeding with tests:
A. verify that installation complies with
instructions in the Owners Manual
provided with the panel and the ap-
propriate VIKING FIELD WIRING
DIAGRAMS for the system used.
B. Notify the Authority Having Jurisdic-
tion and all those in the area affected
by the test.

TECHNICAL DATA
Alarm Activate Switch
To test Alarm bell, Waterflow bell circuits
and Alarm, Detection, and Waterflow re-
lays:
1: Push "Alarm Activate" (See Figure
3).
Note: "Alarm Activate" is a latch-
ing function. "Alarm Silence" will
silence indicating circuits and
System Alarm Relay and light the
Alarm Silenced LED.
2: When test is complete, push "Sys-
tem Reset" Conditions should re-
turn to normal.
Waterflow
To test Water Flow Alarm on Viking pre-
action and Viking deluge systems: Con-
sult technical literature for the system
used.
1: Turn the Alarm Test Valve to "Test"
position. See figure 3 for output
circuits and relays that should ac-
tivate for the system used. "Wa-
terflow" circuits are latching.
2: When test is complete return the
Alarm Test Valve to the normal
position and push "System Re-
set". Conditions should return to
normal.
Detection
To test detection circuits:
1: Close main water supply control
valve, placing the system out of
service.
Caution! For Deluge and Single or Non-
interlocked preaction systems, perform-
ing this test results in operation of the
Deluge Valve. Failure to close the main
water supply control valve will cause
water to flow into the sprinkler piping.

RELEASE CONTROL
PANEL
Caution! For Double-Interlocked sys-
tems, simultaneous operation of a de-
tector, and lowering of supervisory pres-
sure in the sprinkler piping will result in
operation of the Deluge Valve. Failure to
close the main water supply control
valve will cause water to flow into the
sprinkler piping.
Caution! Simultaneous operation of
both detection circuits on any system
utilizing cross-zone detection, will result
in operation of the Deluge Valve. Failure
to close the main water supply control
valve will cause water to flow into the
sprinkler piping.
2: Operate individual detectors, fol-
lowing instructions listed in techni-
cal data for the detector used. See
TABLE 2 for output circuits and
relays that should activate for the
system used. "Detection" circuits
are latching (except when config-
ured for optional "timed shut-off".
See Owners Manual).
3: When Test is complete, push "Sys-
tem Reset". Conditions should re-
turn to normal.
4: Refer to technical data for the sys-
tem used to open main water sup-
ply control valve, and place the
system back in service.
Maintenance
CAUTION:
Disconnect
sources before servicing. The panel
and associated equipment may be
