HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

A good fire alarm system can help curb and even prevent a fire accident, allowing you adequate time to get people to safety and install a fire suppression system before the fire gets out of hand. Hence, proper maintenance of your fire alarm system can help save lives and properties.


HERE’S HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR FIRE ALARM SYSTEM:

  1. Check and gauge your alarm sensors: Regular calibration and testing of your smoke and flame detectors according to the manufacturer’s instructions should be done weekly. To do this, you need adequate knowledge of your system’s sensors, how to re-install them, their testing process, and failure forms. You should also check your fire alarm system daily to take note of faults, so you can move on to fixing these faults.

  2. Examine the batteries and cable fittings: You should always ensure that the battery of your fire alarm system is not damaged, corroded, or expired as this might hinder its performance. It is also important to regularly inspect your fire alarm sounders and connectivity to home security monitoring companies. Your cable fittings should also be properly examined to ensure they are in good condition and aren’t damaged.

  3. Inspect your fire doors: A fire door is a door whose purpose is to hold the line against any fire and stop it from spreading before a proper suppression system is implemented. You can put your life and the life of others in danger if your fire door is not working properly. If you have a damaged fire door, you might need to contact a professional to help you look into it.


It is important to pay close attention to any form of defects or improper functioning of any part of your fire alarm system, this is to ensure that it is in the best condition at all times.
