13.7.2 Commissioning zones
1. Work logically and systematically through each zone.
2. Zone fault conditions:
○ Remove the end-of-line device from the zone 1 terminals and connect the cables of the
zone 1 circuit to the panel terminals, observing the correct polarity. Check that any
zone 1 fault indications clear after a few seconds.
○ Check the fault monitoring of the cable is correct by applying an open circuit then a
short circuit at the end-of-line device (in the field). Check that the fault condition is
indicated on zone 1 on the fire panel.
○ Remove the circuit faults, restoring the circuit to the healthy condition and confirm that
the fault indication clears.
3. Zone fire conditions
○ Starting with the device nearest the panel, operate each manual call point and
detection device on the zone in turn.
○ After operation of each device confirm:
• The fire indication is provided on the panel on the correct zone.
• The fire alarm devices operate correctly in line with the panel configuration.
• The Fire Routing and Fire protection outputs operate correctly in line with the
panel configuration.
○ Press the Silence Alarms and the Reset buttons after each device test and check the
alarm clears (Manual Call Points must be manually reset before restting the panel).
4. Detector removal operation.
○ Remove the 1st detector along the zone cable [counting from the panel] on zone 1 and
observe the following:
• The appropriate amber zone fault LED illuminates
• The internal buzzer sounds
• The fault relay operates
○ For non I.S. zone applications:
• Operate a manual call point between the detector that has been removed and the
EOL capacitor. Check that the panel reacts as described above for a fire
condition.
• Refit the detector, reset the manual call point, press the “Silence Alarms” button
and then the “System Reset” button on the panel’s display board and check that
the control panel returns to its normal state.
• Repeat for all detectors on the zone.
○ For I.S. zone applications:
• Remove the 1st detector in the zone cable [counting from the panel] and operate
a manual call point ensuring that the correct fire alarm condition is raised on the
panel (assuming the installation complies with BS5839).
• Continue to check the operation of all other manual call points on the zone,
resetting the manual call point and silencing/resetting the panel at each stage.
• Refit the detector and check that the control panel returns to its normal state.
