MAINTENANCE

Periodic system maintenance should be carried out on the system as prescribed in the local design,
maintenance and installation regulations.
The Fire Alarm panel's standby batteries should be checked for integrity of the connections and deposits
indicating venting. A periodic load test with the mains supply disconnected should also be performed
to ensure adequate battery capacity. Both batteries should be renewed if there is any doubt about
their integrity.
The panel's event log should be checked for any faults that have automatically cleared, and these dealt
with accordingly.
