EST3 Installation and Service Manual

Power-up and testing

Initial and reacceptance test procedures

Introduction

Once the system has been wired, programmed, and the circuit faults corrected, all installed components should be tested as a

system, to insure proper operation.

The initial system check is designed to verify that all components of the system are installed and operating as designed. Verifying that the system was designed and installed according to specifications requires all aspects of the system to be exercised and the results verified. Where test results differ from those expected, corrective action must be taken.

Before commencing testing, notify all areas where the alarm sounds and off-premises locations that receive alarm and trouble transmissions that testing is in progress.

Records of all testing and maintenance shall be kept on the protected premises for a period of at least five (5) years.

Required Tools:

• Slotted screwdriver, insulated

• 12inch (30.5 cm) jumper lead with alligator clips

• Panel door key

A complete check of installed field wiring and devices should be made at regular intervals, in accordance with NFPA 72 and ULC

524 requirements. These requirements are covered in the chapter on preventive maintenance.
