There are NO user serviceable parts in the FireSAFE+ unit.
5.6 Service & Annual test/Inspection
BS 9251:2021 recommends that the full fire protection system is tested and inspected
every twelve months. This includes the FireSAFE+ unit and ensures that the system remains
in first class working order.
The FireSAFE+ unit should be tested annually by a suitably qualified and competent person.
Following the below checklist gives some minimum activities that need to be completed at
each service and annual test. Other activities will need completing according to the
system design and any fault rectification required.
Should any maintenance work be required then the water and electricity supply may
require isolating prior to commencing work.
The building will be without the fire protection that the FireSAFE+ unit gives
during this period and alternative measures should be considered. The owner of
the building and any inhabitants should be informed of this.
Ensure any outgoing signals from the FireSAFE+ unit are not going to cause activation of:
• Fire alarms/beacons
• Fire alarm control panel
• Fire service response or fire monitoring service response
• Any other warning/monitoring devices installed (eg. SMS to mobile device)
Consideration should be given to contacting any response services beforehand and
informing them of the Service and annual test activity of the FireSAFE+ unit.
Before removing the terminal box cover from the electric motor or before any
removal/dismantling of the pump/motor unit takes place, ensure that the
electricity supply to the control panel has been suitably isolated and cannot
be switched on.
Once any maintenance work is completed, ensure that the isolating valves are
opened fully, locked in the open position and that the electricity supply to the
FireSAFE+ unit is restored, and locked in the ON position.
Check that the correct system pressure is achieved.
Inform the necessary people that the system has been restored.
