Alternative Weekly Test

To carry out a statutory weekly fire alarm test, follow the steps listed in the “Fire Alarm
Event” simulation (page 10) of this course. Before carrying out a fire alarm test, ensure
you carry out the following:

1. Inform the Remote alarm receiving centre if the system is connected.

2. Inform occupants of the building of the impending test.
3. Take care to isolate any plant shutdown circuits if these are likely to effect the
normal operation of any process and/or in itself create a hazard.

Note: The test can be conducted by activating a call point using the supplied test
key. Removal of the test key will reset the call point allowing the system to be reset
on completion of the test. Revisit steps 1, 2 and 3 above if any of these operations
has been implemented.
