Page 106: Procedure
FIREFINDER SERIES II INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & OPERATION 24.1 Procedure The following tests are the minimum that shall be performed when commissioning a system using the FireFinder Fire Alarm Control Panel. Supplements to these test may be added by way of attachments or notation (using waterproof ink) to this documentation. - Page 107 FIREFINDER SERIES II INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & OPERATION (h) Alarm zone parameters: Each alarm zone circuit is within the equipment manufacturer’s specifications. (i) Wire-free alarm zones: Wire-free actuating device parameters meet the minimum parameters specified by the manufacturer, including that the receiver responds to signals from an actuating device for alarm, tamper, low standby power signals and gives a fault signal when the supervisory signal condition is absent.
- Page 108 FIREFINDER SERIES II INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & OPERATION (ii) There are no ‘blind’ spots in the area protected. (iii) Detectors are rigidly fixed. (iv) Detector lenses are clean and adequately protected from dust and extraneous radiation sources.

Page 109: Battery Capacity Calculation
FIREFINDER SERIES II INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & OPERATION Battery Capacity Calculation INTRODUCTION The standby power source capacity, or battery capacity, determines how long the system will continue to operate in the event of the loss of the primary power source. It therefore becomes necessary to calculate the battery and hence power supply / battery charger capacity required for each installation. - Page 110 0.11 XP95 I/O module XP95 Sounder control XP95 MCP 0.35 XP95 Zone Monitor Ampac 3 I/O loop power Ampac 3 I/O ext. power Ampac SID / SIOD Iq = Devices activating when the system is in alarm 8 x Relays...
