User Responsibility
It is recommended that the
persons responsible for the fire
alarm system, should become
familiar with the procedures on
how to operate the controls and
interpret indications given at the
control and repeat panels.
Adequate training should also
have been given from appointed
personnel.
Daily
The British Standard code of
practice for
Fire detection and
alarm systems for buildings,
BS 5839:Part1:1988
, states that
the system should be inspected
daily to ensure that a normal
indication is given at the control
and indicating equipment and that
any previously indicated fault
condition has received appropriate
attention.
a) It recommends entry into the
Log Book provided of all the
system events for future
reference.
b) The person inspecting the
protected premises can ensure
that the use of the area(s)
inspected has not changed
such that the detection and
alarm devices have become
inappropriate.
c) The area(s) can be inspected
to check that no unsafe
practices that could lead to fire
are being undertaken.
Weekly
At Weekly intervals a different Fire
detector or Manual Call Point of
the system should be tested to
ensure the system is capable of
operating under alarm condition.
a) The operation of the alarm
sounders should be checked,
which also provides a regular
reminder to those occupying
the premises that there is a fire
alarm system with a particular
characteristic sound.
b) The test should be performed
at a regular time to avoid
confusion between a test and a
genuine fire alarm.
Quarterly
At quarterly intervals the system
should be inspected and any work
necessary should be performed by
a trained maintenance engineer.
Battery Replacement
NOTE: Any servicing work on
the System must be carried out
by a servicing organisation.
Under normal operating conditions
the maintenance free lead acid
batteries in the Control and
Repeat panels can have a useful
life of up to 5 years from the date
of manufacture.
NOTE: It is recommended that
these batteries are replaced at
4 Yearly intervals from the date
the System is first
commissioned.
CAUTION: The batteries should
only be replaced by trained
service personal.

Testing a Manual Call Point
Push the test key through the hole
in the underside of the call point to
engage the test cam mechanism
and push to operate the cam
mechanism.
At this point the test key is
retained in the call point and
pulling it out will reset the glass.
NOTE: The alarm sounders in
the system will be activated by
this test. To silence alarms
and reset the system, see
operating instructions.
Replacing a broken Glass
WARNING: Take appropriate
precautions when clearing
broken glass to prevent
injury.
NOTE: A weather resistant
version of manual call points
will have two gaskets, a
Cover/glass gasket and a
Spacer/cover gasket, which must
be installed in their respective
position.
These procedures assume the
cover on the manual call point is
open and any broken glass has
been cleared.
a) Insert the glass beneath the
opaque slider ①and locate
bottom of the glass into recess,
ensure the thumb wheel is up
as shown..
b) Place the test key on the cam
(thumb wheel) ②.
c) Fit the call point cover by
hooking it into the top of the
unit. Make sure that the glass
is properly seated (held down).
Withdraw the test key from the
call point ③and then use it to
fit the screw ④securing the
cover to the back box.
