SYSTEM INFORMATION.

NOTE: These instructions are to be used in conjunction wit h—

(a)operator’ s manual;

(b) installer’ s statement(s);

(c) as-i nstall ed drawings;

(d) detector test records,

to provide a complete descri ption of the install ed system and its tested perf ormance at the time of it s commissioning into service

1.0 Ensure that all detectors used in the system are—

1.1 listed in the operator’s manual;

1.2 compatible with the installed AZF particularly that the permitted number of detectors

on each circuit is not exceeded; and 1.3 installed in an environment for which they are suitable.

2.0 Check that the a.c mains power supply for the system has been provided in accordance with

AS 3000, and that the isolating switch disconnects all active and neutral conductors.

3.0 Detector location.

3.1 Check that detector locations provide adequate protection in accordance with AS 1670 4.0 Alarm zone circuit.

4.1 Measure each alarm zone circuit voltage, and current (quiescent, fault, alarm) or other relevant circuit parameters for correct operation and record these in the logbook.

4.2 Insulation resistance of all installation wiring measured in accordance with AS 3000 and all results recorded in the logbook.

5.0 Fault and alarm test.

5.1 Test each alarm zone facility to ensure that fault and alarm conditions operate as required by AS 1670.

5.2 Confirm all items tested in Item 5.1 above operate as required in AS 1603.4.

COPYRIGHT

6.0 FIP test.

6.1 Operate each alarm test, fault test, isolate and reset facility provided for each alarm zone facility to determine correct operation.

6.2 Operate a.c supply switch on and off at least five times to check the system will not false alarm from a.c power interruptions.

6.3 Confirm that all items tested in Items 6.1 and 6.2 above operate in accordance with

AS 1670 and and AS 1603.4.

7.0 Actuating device testing.

7.1 Test each installed detector or sampling point with an approved in-situ tester, and

ensure that each detector has operated in the correct range and the alarm has indicated

on the control and indicating equipment and, if applicable, at the detector tested Where detectors are installed in areas classified as hazardous in accordance with

AS 3000 and AS 2430 such actuating devices shall be either, replaced with pretested devices or tested using a unit which is SAA certified for use in those areas, e.g Zone 0, 1 or 2.

7.2 Test each installed manual call point and all other activating devices.

7.3 Confirm response of the system does not exceed 5 s from the time the detector operates until the master alarm facility registers the alarm (while in normal mode) on each zone. NOTE: Where AVF facil it ies are fit ted, the response time is measured fr om the second alarm displayed in the alarm window

7.4 Confirm that all items tested in Items 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 above comply with AS 1670 and

AS 1603.4.

8.0 Manual call points.

8.1 Check the operation of each manual call point.

9.0 For flame detectors, perform the following:

9.1 Check that there are no ‘blind’ spots in areas protected.

9.2 Check that detectors are rigidly fixed.

9.3 Check that detectors are properly connected to compatible control and indicating equipment.

9.4 Check that detector lenses are clean and adequately protected from dust and extraneous radiation sources where these are present.

9.5 Where detectors are installed in areas classified as hazardous in accordance with

AS 3000 and AS 2430 such actuating devices shall be either, replaced with pretested devices or tested using a unit which is SAA certified for use in those areas, e.g Zone 0, 1 or 2.

10.0 For smoke detection sampling systems, perform the following:

10.1 Check all sampling points for compliance to AS 1670, and measure the response time for all sampling points.

COPYRIGHT

10.2 Check the back-up power supply capacity.

10.3 Check the operation of alarm settings and indicators.

10.4 Check the operation of remote indication of alarm and fault signals.

10.5 Check the operation of air flow failure indicators.

10.6 Check the operation of the system (signal) failure indicators.

10.7 Check the isolate/reset functions.

10.8 Check the fault and alarm test facilities.

10.9 Test the sampling system response to smouldering smoke at the least favourable sampling point The response time shall not exceed 90 s.

11.0 Ancillary functions.

11.1 Test each ancillary function by operating one or more alarm zone facility according to design requirements.

11.2 Confirm satisfactory operation of all ancillary functions.

12.0 Alarm signalling.

12.1 Check that the master alarm facility is able to receive the alarm signal by operating each alarm zone facility.

12.2 Confirm that the fire control station was able to receive the alarm from the master alarm facility.

13.0 Battery supply.

13.1 Check that the battery is of a suitable type and capacity complying with AS 1670.

13.2 Perform a float voltage check in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s recommendation to ensure that the charger type and setting is correct for the type of battery connected.

Record the results hereunder:

13.3 Check that the power supply has sufficient rating to provide continuous output power

at least equal to the load requirements listed in AS 1670.

14.0 Check that all alarm zone facilities have been labelled and that the alarm zone is immediately apparent from the labelling.

15.0 Check that as-installed drawings have been correctly marked up and that they are consistent with the installation Check that the operator’s manual is relevant to the installation.

16.0 Ensure that the results of the commissioning tests are recorded in the Operator’s Manual.
