- include sight control of: ÿ regularity and continuity of electric lines on
- sight ÿ correct fixing of lines junction hoses ÿ correct fixing of
- generators The technician has to have personal protection device: -
- junction box’s cables gland - enter generators’ s cables gland
- During the second six month inspection in addition to the described
- above: ÿ generators must be disconnected to the line and an
- impedance measurement must be run on each generator: - value of
- the measurement must not be infinite or less than 0,6 Ohm. ÿ For
- those generators produced from February 2009 when it is found a
- wrong measurement it will have to be replaced the activator to get the
- system fully functioning.
- DISPOSAL OF THE GENERATORS a) Discharged generators: follow the
- local rules for products containing hazardous substances b) Not
- discharged generators: contact your local distributor and/or the
- manufacturer to accord for possible barter and/or disposal
HYDRANT & SPRINKLER SYSTEM
- WEEKLY INSPECTION CHECKLIST FOR SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
- Gauges – the gauges on dry, pre-action, and deluge systems should be inspected weekly. In this step, you’re looking for a normal read on air and
- water pressure.
- Control valves – you should check these weekly to ensure that they are free from leaks, locked, properly sealed, and in the open position. Proper
- signage should identify what part of your sprinkler they control.
- MONTHLY INSPECTION CHECKLIST FOR SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
- Gauges (on wet pipe systems) – you should check that the water pressure is maintained and that there is no sign of physical damage.
- Alarm valves – these should be externally inspected each month.
- QUARTERLY INSPECTION CHECKLIST FOR SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
- Alarm devices – every three months, check that these are free from physical damage.
- Hydraulic nameplate – check that this is secured to the sprinkler riser and legible.
- ANNUAL INSPECTION CHECKLIST FOR SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
- The NFPA requires that you have a licensed technician inspect your fire sprinkler system annually to keep your building safe and up to code. The
- technician will inspect and maintain all components of your fire sprinkler system, including:
- Gauges
- Control valves
- Alarm devices
- Hangers/bracing
- Pipes and fittings
- Sprinkler heads
- Antifreeze solution
- Pre-action/deluge valves
- Backflow prevention components

SECURITY INTRUDER SYSTEM
- Service and Maintenance - Intruder Alarm
- Please note – If the proposed system requires police response then two service visits per year are mandatory. If you fail to have the system serviced or
- maintained then the police will remove all automatic response. Regular service has been proved to reduce false alarms and wasted police time.
- Please note – If the proposed system is a requirement of your insurance company they will also require that your system is serviced or maintained in line with
- the current standards and current police requirements. Failure to have the system serviced or maintained or the loss of police response will mean that the
