PYROGARD fire alarm maintenance & servicing
Fire Alarm
Maintenance - Irish Standard 3218:2009
This requires that fire alarms receive a quarterly and
annual inspection and test which involves that every 3 months the
following checks are carried out by the service engineer
- Entries in the log book shall
be checked and any necessary action taken,
- Where applicable, batteries
should be examined to ensure that the specific gravity of electrolyte in
each cell is correct.
- Batteries, including
reserves, shall be tested as specified by the supplier to verify that they
are satisfactory for a further period. Batteries shall be replaced within
the period of the service life stipulated by the battery manufacturer.
- The alarm functions of the
control and indicating equipment shall be checked by the operation of a
detector or call point in each zone .The operation of the alarm devices
and any link to an alarm receiving centre (ARC) shall be tested. All
ancillary functions of the control panel shall also be tested where
practicable. All fault indicators and their circuits shall be checked,
preferably by simulation of fault conditions. The control and indicating
equipment shall be visually inspected for signs of moisture ingress and
other deterioration.
- A visual inspection shall be
made to check whether structural or occupancy changes have affected the
requirements for the siting of manual call points, detectors and sounders.
The visual inspection shall also confirm that a clear space of at least
500 mm is preserved in all directions below and around every detector,
- that the detectors are sited
correctly and that all manual call points remain unobstructed and
conspicuous,
- All further checks and tests
specified by the installer, supplier or manufacturer shall be carried out,
- Particular attention should
be made to areas where alterations to the system have been carried out
since the last inspection.
Any defect shall be recorded in the log book and reported to the
responsible person, and action should be taken to correct it on the
instructions of the responsible person
The following check and test sequence is carried
out every year by the service
engineer:
- each
detector shall be checked for correct operation in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations
- every
manual call point shall be checked for correct operation by insertion of a
test key or operation of the switch mechanism or other test which confirms
the correct action of the switching mechanism and ability of the device to
correctly communicate a fire signal to the control and indicating
equipment. The test shall also confirm the correct operation of any
indicator device on the call point
- a
visual inspection (as far as is reasonably practical) shall be made to
confirm that all cable fittings and equipment are secure, undamaged and
adequately protected,
- the
required sound levels are achieved. It is strongly recommended that this
be carried out in conjunction with the annual fire evacuation drill.
Any defect shall be recorded in the log book. These
shall be reported to the responsible person for appropriate corrective action
The operation of sounders/visual alarm indicators, detector devices
shall be checked such that at the end of the annual maintenance period 100 % of
all devices have been tested.
For non-residential systems of two zones or less which incorporate a
combination of less than 20 automatic detection devices or call points, then
3-monthly inspection may be extended to 6 months.
The routine attention described in above is intended to maintain the
system in operation under normal circumstances. There may, however, be special
circumstances in which other attention is needed:
- action by the user after any
fire
- action by the user after any
false alarm
- action by the user following
a fault
- action by the user following
a pre-alarm warning
- prolonged periods of
disconnection
- other non-routine attention
