Periphery components for ESSER FACP

Therefore, it is generally recommended that contaminated standard detectors be replaced.
When checking the actual status during maintenance, it is important to ensure that the correct criterion is
applied so that the fire alarm is tested according to its project planning and approval. Multi-criteria detectors of
the series IQ8Quad and ES Detect are authorized as smoke and heat detectors according to EN 54-5 and -7,
but in most cases as a smoke detector, there is additional monitoring of temperature increases.
Among other things, the maximum monitoring area of a fire detector to be calculated depending on the
installation height is derived from this. If the detector has been planned for smouldering fire development with
heavy smoke formation, this must also be triggered annually with the test gas approved by the manufacturer.
Multi-criteria detectors that monitor a poorly predictable course of the fire should be, if necessary, acted upon
annually with heat and test gas with carbon monoxide to ensure broadband functionality and detection
readiness in case of emergency.
Fire Detectors of the IQ8Quad & ES Detect Series
Smoke detector: Trigger once a year with test gas and wait until the individual display of the detector
shows activation confirmation.
Heat Detector: Warm with the heat detector test head or a hairdryer once a year (not a heat gun) until
the individual display of the detector confirms its activation.
Multi-criteria-
detector: Trigger once a year with test gas and wait until the individual
display of the detector shows activation confirmation. For the projected monitoring of
several fire parameters, all criteria should be tested with the corresponding test values.
All fire alarms of the IQ8Quad series should be cyclically inspected (inspection interval) with the service and
programming software tools 8000 in order to evaluate with technical measurements the degree of contamination
of sensors and the corresponding compensation of the reference values.
• The tools 8000 service and programming software provides support with commissioning,
maintenance and servicing.
• The automatic fire detectors must be serviced exclusively using approved testing devices for
smoke and heat detectors.
• The esserbus
®
test and configuration tool (Part No. POL-ESS TOUCH) can also be used to
configure cable networks or esserbus
®
or esserbus
®
-PLus loops and to check for errors or faults
without a FACP if required.

the Technical Information (Part No. 798654.GB0).
4.1 Maintenance
Maintenance work must be carried out at least once a year, according to manufacturer instructions. All actions
for the protection of the target conditions of the technical modules of a system are to be implemented. The place
of installation/the ambient conditions and level of contamination of the fire detectors should be assessed.
