3 Test and maintenance
When any test or maintenance procedure is conducted, all building occupants and others who may
receive artificial alarms or trouble signals must be notified before starting and after completion.
These operations require entering the controlling annunciator into the maintenance mode with the
necessary password.
NFPA 72 and/or the authority having jurisdiction may have additional test and maintenance requirements
that must be followed.
NOTE On any system including remote signaling, the local fire department and/or
monitoring agency should be informed before any test or maintenance
functions.
3.1 System test
System test must be performed as required by the authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of other
instructions, test schedules for fire alarm systems are included in NFPA 72.
Tests should be performed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions by qualified personnel, and
should be fully documented. The panel’s internal history provides a record of test functions that enter the
event list.
On completion of testing, ensure that all panel conditions have been reset or otherwise returned to
normal, and notify any agencies previously advised of the commencement of testing.
3.1.1 Initial acceptance testing
Refer to the Installation manual for details of initial acceptance testing.
3.1.2 Walk test
The panel includes the capability of one person making detector calibration tests on site, by either
momentarily sounding the notification appliances or just printing out results when pre-selected devices
are tested.
The silent walk test records the change of state of activated inputs for viewing or printing at the
completion of the test. When an input device is activated, only the buzzer on the annunciator sounds (not
any other output devices) in the pattern for the respective type of input.
The audible walk test additionally activates the outputs related to the activated input. Outputs related to
an alarm or supervisory alarm input are activated for approximately 2 seconds.
If no change of state is found for a period of 15 minutes during a walk test, the panel times out and
returns to a normal standby state.
Initiate the walk test from the annunciator (see 5.4 Menu 2.1: Normal Walk Test). Press
SILENCE or
RESET on the annunciator to end the walk test.
3.2 System maintenance
The Tracker system does not require regularly scheduled maintenance except that it is kept clean and
dry.
Check the sealed lead acid batteries occasionally for terminal corrosion and replace every four years or if
proper voltage is not maintained under load test.
