1. GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
This manual provided only the basis operator’s information on the control and operation
of the Fire Alarm System. To ensure continuous reliability of the system, the o ner or
o ner’s representative should establish an agreement to carry out regular maintenance
of the installation ith the manufacturer or manufacturer’s representative or a
competent and qualified contractor trained to service and maintain this system.
The arrangements for maintenance should be such as ell ensure that a qualified
person is available on call at all time to provide service in the event of any fault that
develops at the installation. For the requirements of the Regular Testing and
Inspection, please refer to the section covered in this manual.
1.2 S stem Description
This Fire Alarm System utilises the V5 Fire Alarm Panel. The system may
comprise one or more alarm panel net orked together itch performs the task of
processing the input signals and thereafter transmit the output signals or initiates other
auxiliary functions. The alarm panel (s) are usually sited in the building fire command
centre or any prominent location clearly visible from the main entrance.
Input devices are used to cause a change in panel status. These devices may be the
combination of Manual Call Points (as in manual and automatic alarm system),
Heat/Smoke Detectors (as in automatic alarm systems).
Output devices are used to provide an audio & visual arning. Output devices
commonly used are alarm bells although sirens and strobe lights are sometimes used.
These three components: Input Devices, Control Panel and Output Devices form the
backbone of a Fire Alarm System.
Non-addressable Fire Alarm Systems operates on a “Zone” basis. These zones are
groups of input devices grouped in accordance to the locality they are protecting. In the
event of a Fire/Fault condition, the location here the signal had originated ill be
defined by the respective indication on the panel. It is therefore important to be familiar
ith the zoning of the protected area. A zoning diagram (or zone chart) is usually
provided for this purpose.
The Alarm Panel is provided ith a feature that continuously monitoring the continuity of
the input/detection, output/sounder circuits to ensure integrity of the system. It is also
equipped ith a battery back-up supply (lasting at least 24 hours) in the event of an
incoming supply failure.

3. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
3.1 Introduction
To ensure continuous reliability of the fire alarm system, regular testing and servicing
shall be carried out. Only trained and competent personal are allo ed to performance
the routine testing and maintenance.
3.2 Maintenance Responsibilities
The o ner shall appoint a competent person to supervise and coordinate all matters in
relation to the fire alarm systems. This include arranging for the system to be checked,
tested and serviced in accordance ith the requirements as described in the Singapore
Standard CP 10 : 2005 – Code of Practice for the installation and Servicing of Electrical
Fire Alarm Systems.
3.3 Operator Duties – Log Records
The operators / o ner appointed competent person shall also be responsible for
keeping all the log records for all alarms activation (genuine, practice, test or false),
faults, service tests and routine preventive maintenance, repair and alteration orks
carried out on the fire alarm system.
3.4 Regular Testing and Inspection
The follo ing regular testing and inspection procedures are recommended:
3.4.1 Daily Check
3.4.2 Weekly Test
3.4.3 Monthly Test
3.4.4 Annual Test
3.4.1 Daily Check
A check should be made everyday to ascertain if the system is operating normally.
Fault(s) detected should be recorded and steps taken immediately to ensure that the
fault(s) is rectified.
a) Check that only the green “POWER ON” LED is lighted. All other indicators should
be off and the panel completely silent. If a fault has occurred and the panel buzzer
sounding, the appropriate indicator ill light up.
b) Record the fault (s) detected.
c) Determine the area affected by the fault and decide hether special actions (such as
fire patrols) are required in that area.

O&M-V5-FAP-AVF-LCD R0
Operator’s Manual (Fire Alarm Panel c/ AVF & LCD)
Pg 13 of 21
d) If possible, determine the cause of the fault or note the activities immediately prior to
the area affected.
e) Silence the fault buzzer.
f) Inform the maintenance contractor responsible for servicing and arrange for repair.
3.4.2 Weekl Test
The follo ing tests and checks should be made by the operator or by the maintenance’s
contractor responsible for servicing and performance of the system.
a) Carry out a simulated and transmission of fire alarm and faults signals to the
monitoring station and confirm it is functioning correctly.
Note : It ill be necessary to contact the alarm monitoring company prior to
transmitting of the simulated fire alarm and faults signals being tested and also to
check ith the monitoring company after completion of test to ensure that the fire
alarm and faults signal as received and advise them the system reset.
b) Check the battery condition and the voltage reading by the use of a multi-meter.
c) On completion of the above tests, ensure that all s itches are in the correct
operating position.
d) Rectify all faults (if any) immediately.
e) Enter the test result(s) and follo -up actions in the log record.
3.4.3 Monthl Test
In addition to the eekly test, the follo ing checking and testing procedures are to be
carried out each month.
a) Simulate fire and fault condition in all zones one by one. The procedure of the
simulation should follo section 2 (operating instruction) of this manual. Confirm ith
the monitoring station that the fire alarm and fault signals have been received.
b) Remove the bell line fuse. The buzzer should sound together ith “SOUNDER
FAULT” and both amber “O” indications lighted. The panel should be silenced hen
“BUZZER SILENCE” is activated. Replace the bell line fuse. System should
normalise.
c) Disable a zone in accordance to the procedures as described in section 2.5. Active a
device in that respective zone. It should have no alarm signal activated on the
panel. Normalise the disable zone.

O&M-V5-FAP-AVF-LCD R0
Operator’s Manual (Fire Alarm Panel c/ AVF & LCD)
Pg 14 of 21
d) Check charger voltage and battery terminals condition. Ensure that no faults signal
are indicated on the panel.
e) Disconnect the battery supply. The “POWER ON” and “BATTERY FAULT”
indicators should be lighted and the buzzer sounding. Connect back the battery and
system should normalise itself.
f) S itch off incoming mains supply. The “POWER ON”, “MAINS FAULT” and
“CHARGER FAULT” indicators should be lighted and the buzzer sounding. The
standby battery should take over the supply to the system. Resume the mains
supply and system should normalise itself.
g) Check earth leakage function by applying a short bet een the positive leg of the
detector line and earth (chassis). The buzzer should sound together ith “EARTH
FAULT” and red “+” indication lighted. Repeat, using the negative leg of the detector
line. The buzzer should sound together ith “EARTH FAULT” and amber “-“
indication lighted.
h) Check that the panel is in a clean and operative condition.
i) Visually inspect the condition of the components, terminations and cables.
j) Ensure that all faulty parts are satisfactorily replaced and recorded. Enter in the log
record any fault(s) that require repair.
k) Check that all s itches are return to their operating positions after test.
l) Enter the test results and follo -up actions, if any, in the log record.
3.4.4 Annual Test
The annual checks should include all the inspections and testing procedures specified
in sections 3.4.1, 3.4.2, 3.4.3. and the follo ing:
a) The maintenance/servicing personnel should arrange to check the operation of at
least 20 percent of the detectors in an installation each year. The selection of
detectors to be tested should be spread over as many zones as possible and should
be made in such a ay that all detectors in an installation should have been checked
at least once in 5 years.
The checking of the detectors should take the form of in situ testing to ensure it is
operational.
b) Circuits connecting ancillary equipment hich require automatic voltage regulated
supplies should be checked to ensure correct operation and voltage output.

Pg 15 of 21
c) Where the heat-sensitive element of thermal detectors or the enclosure of other
detectors are found to be coated ith paint or any material likely to affect the
operation of the detectors, such material should be cleaned off or if necessary have
the detector replaced.
Note: In certain environments it may be necessary to clean and test the smoke
detectors at more frequent intervals.
d) Enter the test results and follo -up actions, if any, in the log record.
