If the system is being used as an agent releasing panel and a pre-discharge timer is programmed, the release may be
aborted by pressing the abort switch. For ULI installations, pushing the Abort will allow the timer to countdown
until 10 seconds and then halt. Releasing and reactivating the Abort will set the timer to 10 seconds.
Testing and
Maintenance
Test this system monthly or more frequently as required by the AHJ. Before conducting any testing contact
the building personnel and the monitoring facility as applicable. When testing a system configured for
releasing, activate the releasing disconnect switch to prevent accidental discharge of a suppression system.
Test the circuits as outlined in the Installation Manual. Test in accordance with NFPA 72 Inspection, Testing
and Maintenance Chapter(s) and any local requirements. The batteries should be marked with the date of
installation and replaced every four years or sooner if battery trouble occurs. Batteries should be checked with
a tester acceptable to the AHJ such as a Stone Technologies model STC612A or equivalent. In case of a fuse
replacement, refer to the Installation Manual for the proper rating. Contact the agency below for service or
operational questions.
