In fire alarm systems, detectors and manual call points are the first responders. However, dust, dirt, or environmental factors may reduce their performance over time. Without proper maintenance, the result may be delayed detection or false alarms.
Cleaning: Optical smoke detectors are highly sensitive to dust. Regular cleaning preserves accuracy.
Testing: Use smoke or heat simulations to ensure proper operation.
Replacement: Manufacturers generally recommend replacement after 8–10 years of use.
Manual Testing: Each call point should be activated periodically to confirm functionality.
Visual Inspection: Covered or obstructed call points create serious risks.
Labeling: Must be clearly marked and accessible to everyone in case of emergency.
As part of our maintenance agreements, Finder conducts detector sensitivity tests and manual call point checks, recommending replacement when necessary. This ensures systems remain at peak performance.
A faulty detector or call point may seem minor, but it can lead to major consequences. Regular maintenance not only strengthens safety but also ensures business continuity.
