INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE

 

Proper fire alarm testing, inspection and maintenance can help save lives and property.

 

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) mandates that all fire alarm systems in protected premises be tested regularly. Local fire codes and insurance companies may require more frequent testing.

 

Fire Tech Fire Protection's team of trained technicians can regularly test, inspect, service and repair your fire alarm system to assure optimum system performance.

 

Inspection Procedures:

 

- Check the fire alarm panel to ensure alarm initiating devices are functioning properly at the time of inspection

- Verify alarm indicating devices are functioning properly at the time of inspection

- Verify supervisory signal initiating devices are functioning properly at the time of inspection

- Verify system power supplies, including battery backups, are sufficient at the time of inspection

- Load testing of batteries

- Clean detectors with compressed air

- Test functionality of detectors with test smoke

- Check every known pull station for accessibility

- Verify points being monitored are correct at the time of inspection (if the facility has a remote annunciator)

- Verify signal reached the monitoring company's office (if the system is monitored)

- Sensitivity Testing

 

New fire codes mandate that every other year your smoke detection device must have a sensitivity test in addition to the functional test. Fire Tech Fire Protection can perform this test with our state-of-the-art Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed equipment.
