EMS SYSTEM 5000

9 Step by Step Guidance:

9.1 Weekly Test Recommendations.

A manual call point should be tested on the system each week. It is recommended that
the test be carried out at the same time each week with any poor audibility instances
reported.
A different manual call point should be tested each week to ensure that all call points are
tested over time.
The results of the test and the call points used should be recorded in the logbook. If the
system is connected to an alarm receiving centre they should be informed before and
after the test and the fire alarm signal confirmed.
Carrying Out the Test.
If applicable contact the alarm receiving centre to inform them that a
test is about to be carried out.
Turn the key on the control panel to the ISOLATED position.
Wait 15 seconds.
Activate a manual call point by inserting the test key.
Fire alarm with text and zonal indication will now be displayed on the
control panel along with sounder operation.
Wait for 30 seconds.
Press the silence alarms button. (The time period shown is an average
time and maybe reduced if required, dependant on the size of the
system).
Press the Reset alarms button to reset the fire alarm event.
The display should return to normal. The key should be returned to the
OFF position and removed from the control panel.
If applicable contact the alarm receiving centre and confirm that the
test has been completed and verify signal received.
The test is now complete and the logbook should now be updated.
