OPERATOR MANUAL
SECTION 8 - MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
It is a requirement of AS1851 - Part 8, The Standards Association of Australia Code for
Maintenance of Automatic Fire Alarm Systems, that tests be carried out to ensure the
system is fully functional.
The weekly test described is usually carried out by the owner or tenant of the premises and
the monthly and annual tests carried out by the installation company under a Service
Agreement.
8.1
WEEKLY TESTS
Weekly tests should be conducted and should include the following:
(a)
Carry out a fire alarm call by simulating an alarm on detector zones as follows;
1.
Isolate bell, AC Shutdown and MDH controls.
2.
Place the fire brigade transmitter selector switch in the isolate position.
3.
Operate the "Alarm Test" switch. The system will automatically alarm test all
detector zones and will indicate their correct operation by illuminating each
zone LED and will then reset.
To check the alarm bell, or any other ancillary circuit operation return the relevant
isolate switch to the normal position.
The correct operation of the bell should be checked each week.
(b)
Operate the Fault Test Switch.
The system will automatically fault test all detector zones and will indicate a system
fault during testing.
(c)
Operate the "Battery Test" switch .
The FIP will load test all batteries for 1 minute and will then reset.
(d)
On completion of the tests ensure that all switches are in the correct operating
position and that the system has been returned to its normal status. Should a fault
condition exist, or if a circuit indicator did not illuminate when tested immediately
contact your Maintenance company to rectify the problem.
(e)
Record the results of the tests in the logbook and check that all tests were logged by
the system printer. If the printer logs any test as having failed, immediately contact
your Maintenance company to rectify the problem.
