6.2 Routine Testing
It is normal practice to sound the site alarms weekly, both to check they work and to accustom personnel to the sound
they make.
As it involves isolating / inhibiting emergency systems during testing, it might be more prudent to test the TPPL relays and
mA outputs only on a planned monthly basis.
Always have alternative safety arrangements in place and alert your personnel before and during testing.
6.2.1 Exercising the Audio/Visual Alarms
Audio/visual alarms can be tested by switching the Dedicated Alarms On. To do this:
1) Ensure that relay activated output systems (i.e. emergency deluge / sirens etc.) are isolated before starting the test.
2) Login as an Administrator or Service.
3) Touch Menu>System Test >Dedicated Alarm Contacts.
4) Touch the appropriate Alarm to toggle it on for each output (see below).
5) Check the alarm outputs are visible / audible and turn them off when satisfied.
6) Touch [Finish] when the tests are completed and all selections will automatically turn off.
CAUTION
Ensure that the system is returned to normal operation once testing is complete.
