2. ROUTINE CHECKS
2.1 GENERAL
The checks described in the following paragraphs would
normally be carried out at the intervals stated. The Detector
Condition Monitoring facility checks the condition of 800
series smoke detectors and will signal a fault when a smoke
detector reaches the limit of its compensation.
Therefore, if a controller has detector condition monitoring,
the following procedure should be carried out:
a) At regular intervals, or when a detector
condition monitoring fault is generated,
obtain a printout of all points out of
compensation (see section 3.13.2.2).
b) From the data obtained, replace only those
detectors which are out of compensation.
For Marine Systems carry out routine checks in accordance
with the customers own procedures.
2.2 WEEKLY CHECKS
These checks would normally be carried out by a
responsible member of the customers staff. They should
also be carried out by the service engineer after all routine
maintenance checks:
WARNING:
WARN ALL PERSONNEL THAT THE
SOUNDERS ARE ABOUT TO BE TESTED.
Proceed as follows:
a) If necessary, clean the front panel of the
controller with a suitable cleansing agent.
b) Check all batteries in accordance with
publication 05A-10-S1.
c) Service Engineer only - Check the
tightness of all terminal block screws inside
the controller.
d) Using the walk test function (see sections
3.13.1), check the operation of at least one
zone. If a printer is available, print out the
results of the walk test (see section 3.12.2).
e) Set one device (either a callpoint or detector)
from one zone into alarm and check that the
system responds as follows:
The controllers internal buzzer sounds in
a continuous tone.
PAGE 4 of 40
The two red FIRE LEDs on the
controller front panel light.
The appropriate red FIRE ZONAL LED
(if configured) flashes.
The general and zonal sounders operate.
The alphanumeric display gives the
location of the alarm.
f) Record the device used to initiate the test in
the site log book and reset the controller.
g) Check the condition of the printout on any
printers attached to the system and replace
the ribbon if it is becoming faint.
h) Ensure that each printer has an adequate
supply of paper.
Any defect should be recorded in the log book and
appropriate action taken. On completion of the work,
obtain the signature of the customer or his representative for
the Routine Maintenance Visit Record. Leave a copy of
this record with the customer for his files.
2.3 THREE-MONTHLY CHECKS
Proceed as follows:
a) Perform the weekly checks as detailed in
section 2.2.
b) Check the entries in the log book and carry
out any necessary action.
c) Check the batteries and their connections in
accordance with publication 05A-10-S1.
d) Check all the ancillary functions of the
controller.
e) Check all fault indicators by simulating a
FAULT condition in each zone by either:
i) removing a detector from its base, or;
ii) disconnecting the local circuit from an
ancillary unit, or;
iii) removing the end-of-line resistor from an
ancillary units circuit.
f) Visually check the condition of the
controller and other ancillary equipment for
signs of moisture ingress and other
deterioration.
g) Visually check the installation to ascertain
whether structural or occupancy changes
have affected the requirements for the siting
of manual callpoints, detectors, line isolator
base, sounders or sounder bases.

Note: Any changes must be made the subject of a
report to the Service Department.
h) Ensure that a clear space of at least 750 mm
is preserved in all directions below heat and
smoke detectors, that they are correctly sited
and that all manual callpoints remain
unobstructed and conspicuous.
i) Ensure that no physical obstruction has been
placed in the line-of-sight between flame
detectors and the protected area.
Any defect should be recorded in the log book and
appropriate action taken. On completion of the work,
obtain the signature of the customer or his representative for
the Routine Maintenance Visit Record. Leave a copy of this
record with the customer for his files.
2.4 ANNUAL CHECKS
Proceed as follows:
a) Perform the three-monthly checks as
detailed in section 2.3.
b) Visually check the inside and outside of the
controller and ancillary devices for damage.
c) Check for damage to, and paint on, heat
detectors; check for dirt, grease, etc. on the
lenses of flame detectors.
d) Clean or exchange units as necessary.
e) Check for damage and accumulations of dirt
on ion-chamber smoke detectors. DO NOT
CLEAN; these units MUST be exchanged
and returned to the factory for disposal.
Note: The return of ion-chamber smoke detectors is
to be carried out in accordance with the latest
company standing instructions for storage and
transportation of radioactive materials.
f) Check the fixings for the controller and all
detectors, sounders and ancillary equipment
which form part of the fire detection system.
g) Check the cable fixings at the controller and
each ancillary device for correct connection.
h) Test ALL detectors and callpoints for
correct operation.
Record any defect in the log book and rectify as
required. On completion of the work, obtain the signature
of the customer or his representative for the Routine
Maintenance Visit Record. Leave a copy of this record with
the customer for his files.

2.5 THREE-YEARLY CHECKS
In addition to the normal yearly checks, filters of VESDA
Aspirating detectors must be changed.
2.6 FOUR-YEARLY CHECKS
In addition to the normal yearly checks, internal standby
batteries must be renewed.
CAUTION:
TAKE CARE WHEN HANDLING THE
BATTERY. DO NOT CONNECT THE
BATTERY THE WRONG WAY
ROUND. WHEN THE BATTERY IS NOT
CONNECTED, COVER TERMINALS WITH
INSULATING TAPE TO PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL SHORT CIRCUIT.
3. CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS
3.1 GENERAL
The MINERVA MX/MZX fire controllers have a large
number of built-in functions. These functions allow system
parameters to be viewed and/or changed and a number of
operations to be performed.
As the available functions allow access to system
parameters, it is necessary to restrict the use of these
functions to trained staff. This is achieved by the use of
passcodes. In order to gain access to the controller
functions, the user enters a passcode via the front panel
keypad. The function is then either selected from the menu.
Access to the keypad is gained via the five Softkeys on the
Operator Display Module (see Fig. 1) or MX2/MZX125/
MZX250 Display Control Module (see Figs. 2, 3 and 4).
3.2 MOVING THE CURSOR
The cursor is moved through the options using the softkey
associated with the double arrow sign >>.
3.3 ENTERING INFORMATION
When the cursor is over information that can be changed,
either use the + or -and softkeys or enter the number/
letter via the keypad.
Note: For speed, Point Numbers should be entered
via the keypad.
