5. Reconnect the cabling and confirm the faults clear.
6. Final testing and commissioning of the loop through to the fire protection equipment,
including test [simulated] activation of the equipment, should be carried out at the
appropriate time in conjunction with the engineer responsible for the fire protection
system.
13.7.6 Commissioning ancillary inputs
Remote Silence Alarms, Reset and Evacuate inputs should each be tested by the activation of the
remote equipment. The response should be verified for each signal.
13.7.7 Commissioning ancillary outputs
The correct operation of equipment connected to the Zone Outputs, Disablement Active,
Evacuate Active and Buzzer Active outputs should be verified in turn by initiating a fire condition
on each of the appropriate zones; disabling/enabling a zone; operating the Evacuate button on
the panel’s display.
13.7.8 Commissioning repeaters
1. Power-up the Panel and then the Repeaters. Only the “Power Supply On” LEDs should
be illuminated on the Panel and Repeaters.
2. At Repeater 1, turn the Access control switch to “1”, and press the “Evacuate” button.
Check that the alarms operate and the internal buzzer operates on all repeaters.
3. Press the “Silence” button on the fire alarm panel. Check that the alarm circuits silence
and the internal buzzer silences on all repeaters.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each repeater.
5. Operate a Manual Call Point on zone 1 and check for correct fire indication at each
repeater.
6. Press the “Silence Alarms” button on a repeater and check that the alarms are silenced
and the Zone 1 fire LED is constantly illuminated on all repeater panels.
7. Press the “Reset” button on a repeater and check that the panel and repeaters return to
the quiescent state.
8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 for each zone and ensure “Silence Alarms” and “Reset” operate
correctly from each repeater.
9. Set the DIL switches on the C1631 Repeater Interface card in the fire alarm panel OFF
(No Repeaters). Check that all repeaters indicate a “Comms. Fault”.
10. Set the C1631 Repeater Interface card DIL switches in the fire alarm panel back to their
previous settings and check that the repeaters return to normal.
11. Set the first repeater address to 0. Check that the panel indicates a “Repeater fault” and
any additional repeaters display a steady “Comms fault” LED.
12. Set the first repeater address back to normal and check that the panel and repeaters
return to normal.
13. Repeat steps 11 and 12 for any other connected repeaters.
