7. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Your fire system must be regularly tested and serviced in order to ensure its
reliable operation. The following maintenance routine is recommended:
Daily
On a daily basis:
Check that the panel indicates normal operation. If it does not, check that any
fault indicated is recorded in the logbook and reported to the maintenance
personnel.
Check that any fault warning recorded the previous day has received
attention.
For the FP2000 only, check that the printer ribbon and paper supplies are
adequate (if applicable). If not, replace them as shown in Chapter 8.
Quarterly
On a quarterly basis:
Check the logbook entries and that any necessary action has been taken.
Check the state of the batteries and corresponding connections.
Visually inspect the fire panel for signs of moisture ingress and other
deterioration.
Test the alarm, fault and ancillary functions of the fire panel.
Yearly
At least once every year:
Carry out the recommended daily and quarterly inspection and test routines.
Check each detector for correct operation in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Visually inspect all cable fittings and equipment to ensure that no damage
has taken place.
Visually inspect the manual call points, detectors and sounders to ensure that
no structural or occupancy changes have affected their siting requirements.

8. THE INTERNAL PRINTER (FP2000 ONLY)
The printer is programmed to print all actions that occur or to print only when a
report is requested (access code is required).
Installing a new printer cartridge
A ribbon cartridge has been loaded inside the printer before shipping. When the
printing becomes faint, load a new printer cartridge as follows:
1. Open the door of the fire panel and locate the printer (bottom left hand side
internally on the door).
2. Loosen the two retaining screens as shown in Figure 3 and gently remove the
printer.
Figure 4: Printer retaining screws

3. Remove the front cover of the printer.
4. Remove the old printer cartridge (Figure 4).
> First lift the left end of the printer cartridge, then the right.

2. Mounting stud

6. Put the right end of the cassette onto the axle on the printer head, then the left
end. If it is difficult to push the right end down, rotate the gear slightly as
indicated (see arrow on cassette cover).
7. When the cassette clips into place, check that the ribbon is straight. If not, rotate
the gear.
8. Replace the front cover.
9. Remount the printer to the door ensuring the retaining screws are firmly
tightened.
Installing new printer paper:
The printer is shipped with a roll of paper loaded, but not fed to the printer head
in order to prevent damage. Before use, feed the paper in as follows:
1. Open the door of the fire panel and locate the printer (bottom left hand side
internally on the door).
2. Loosen the two retaining screws as shown in Figure 3 and gently remove the
printer.
3. Remove the front cover of the printer.
4. If a paper roll has not been installed, remove the axle rod (Figure 5), slide on the
paper roll and replace the loaded axle rod in the slots (Figure 6).
5. Cut the paper as shown in Figure 7.
