  • 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

 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

 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
